Both the petitions pertain to the same case, says judge
16/10/2019 , B. Tilak Chandar, Madurai
The Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday adjourned the bail petition of Udit Surya, the first medical student to be arrested in the NEET impersonation case. The court will hear the student’s bail plea along with that of his father, V.K. Venkatesan.
Justice G.R. Swaminathan took cognisance of the fact that the father of the student had filed a bail application before the Theni Sessions Court. As both the petitions pertained to the same case, the judge said he will hear them together on October 17, and sought relevant papers in the case.
The court had agreed to treat the anticipatory bail petition filed by the student as his bail plea, considering his age. Earlier, the court took a serious view of the impersonation case. The father-son duo are currently lodged in the Madurai Central Prison.
In his petition, Surya cited health issues for quitting an MBBS course in the Theni Government Medical College. He denied the charge that another person had taken the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test and attended counselling for medical admission on his behalf.
The CB-CID secured Surya along with his family in Tirupati on September 25. Subsequently, the father-son duo was remanded in judicial custody. Earlier, the Judicial Magistrate, Theni, denied bail to Mr. Venkatesan.
