HC Deb 03 May 1909 vol 4 c864W
Mr. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India has adopted any disciplinary measures in respect of Mr. Venugopal Chetty, Judge of Chingleput, who endeavoured to render null and void his marriage with an Englishwoman in this country, similar to the stringest measures taken by the Government of East Africa Protectorate in respect of an European officer who took under his protection a native African girl?

Mr. HOBHOUSE (for Mr. Buchanan)

The Secretary of State is informed that the Government of Madras at the end of March last called upon Mr. Venugopal Chetty for an explanation of his conduct; he has asked for time to submit the required explanation, which is still awaited.
