Padma Shri awardee Sundar Menon arrested for ‘Rs 7-crore investment fraud’
Sundar Menon, 63, is the president of the Thrissur-based Thiruvambady Devaswom (Temple) Board.
indianexpress.comHere’s the latest I can share based on available public reporting up to now.
-
Sundar Menon (also spelled Sundaresh Menon in some sources) is a prominent Singaporean jurist who has served as Chief Justice of Singapore since 2012. He is of Indian origin and previously held roles including Attorney-General of Singapore before his appointment to the Supreme Court.[3][6]
-
There have been several references in international media to Sundaresh Menon’s role and appearances, including occasions when he sat on benches in India and abroad for judicial events or lectures, reflecting his active involvement in international legal exchanges.[9][3]
-
In India specifically, there have been unrelated news items about Sundar Menon (a different individual associated with Kerala and various charitable activities) involving Padma Shri honors and legal cases; these pertain to a separate person and should not be conflated with Sundaresh Menon, the Singaporean Chief Justice.[1]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to:
- a) verifiable news about Sundaresh Menon as Chief Justice of Singapore (recent appointments, speeches, or judgments),
- b) a clarification to distinguish him from similarly named individuals in India, or
- c) a quick, sourced roundup of his notable judicial outputs and public statements.
Would you like me to focus on one of these?
