Coimbatore, Dec 10 (PTI) A court here on Tuesday rejected the bail petition moved by the owner of a house, the compound wall of which collapsed following heavy rains killing 17 people in a village in this district.

Sivasubramanian, a textile showroom owner, was arrested on December 2, a day after a portion of the damp 15-foot high compound wall came crashing down on adjoining tiled roof houses in Nadur village, over 50 km from here.

Sivasubramanian moved the court seeking bail on health grounds.

Principal district Judge R Shakivel rejected the bail plea after hearing arguments.

The wall was already demolished by the district administration following an outcry from the locals and political parties that it was constructed to discriminate against Dalits living nearby.
