Taking note that Kalyanasundaram, who was Transport and Education Minister in Puducherry between June 2011 and November 2011, had been cleared of the impersonation charge, Justice S Nagamuthu said "in my considered opinion there are materials available on record, which prima facie make out a case of conspiracy, which requires trial."
He had written the supplementary examination in Tamil Nadu and had allegedly given a false address in Tindivanam in Villupuram in Tamil Nadu.
While Kalyanasundaram's counsel contended that there was absolutely no material to even make out a prima facie case of conspiracy against Kalyanasundaram and therefore the case was liable to be quashed, the prosecution contested the claim stating that there was material available on record to frame a charge for conspiracy.
The Judge said "it gives an initial inference of conspiracy to do an illegal act."
Preparations had been made to commit impersonation which, however, did not materialise as the person, who was alleged to have written the examination, at the last minute refused to write it. MORE
