    Magistrate, Kovilpatti, for conducting the inquest and there shall
    not be any interference whatsoever in his work. We are aware that

    rampant.

    administration to keep the public informed of the fact that the
    Madurai Bench of Madras High Court is closely monitoring the case
    and thereby, instill confidence in them.
