Solution
The correct option is A Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A. The Madras Council found Kattabomman to be not guilty because of what transpired at Ramanathapuram between Kattabomman and Collector Jackson. Collector Jackson denied Kattabomman a court audience both in Courtallam and Srivilliputhur when Kattabomman wanted to discuss the situation of revenue collection from his Palayam. For the atrocities against Kattabomman, Jackson was dismissed from service and a new Collector S.R. Lushington was appointed.
