A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking to hold bribe-takers guilty. Senior advocate Nalini Chidambaram cited Section 171(b) of the IPC which clearly holds bribe-takers as well as bribe givers equally guilty of the offence of bribery. During campaign ahead of the RK Nagar bypoll (which has been cancelled since then), at least two lakh voters out of 2.4 lakh eligible voters had been given Rs 4,000 each. She said the Election Commission reports mentioned only about bribe-givers and not a word was said about bribe-takers.
