Chingleput Ryots' Case
The Chingleput Ryots' Case was a prominent trial which took place in the then Chingleput District of the Madras Presidency in India between 1881 and 1883. The action of the then Governor of Madras M. E. Grant Duff provoked outrage all over the Presidency. Indian nationalists frequently cited the case as an example of the alleged unjust rule of the British Raj.
== Origin ==
In May 1881, a group of ''ryots'' in the then Chingleput district accused an Indian ''tahsildar'' of extortion and filed a case against him in a local court. The ''tahsildar'' tried to threaten the ''ryots'' with dire consequences and allegedly got the District Collector of Chingleput to prosecute them for perjury. However, the ''tahsildar'' was still convicted for tampering with official records and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment. The ''tahsildar'' filed a fresh appeal in the Madras High Court resulting in the reduction of the sentence from two to one year. Dissatisfied, the tahsildar appealed once again against the verdict. Though the Madras High Court refused to entertain a second appeal, the Governor of Madras intervened and issued an order on May 31, 1883 acquitting the tahsildar due to lack of evidence
The District Collector of Chingleput who had allegedly shielded the corrupt ''tahsildar'' later acted as the Revenue Secretary of the Government of Madras.
