26/10/2019, STAFF REPORTER,MADURAI

Medical students and their parents involved in the NEET impersonation case have approached the Bench of the Madras High Court seeking bail and anticipatory bail on Friday.

Two petitioners and their sons currently remanded in judicial custody have sought bail.

Earlier, the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Theni, had denied them bail.

Meanwhile, another parent and his son, apprehending arrest by the CB-CID in connection with the case, have sought anticipatory bail.

Taking up separate petitions for hearing, Justice G.R. Swaminathan granted the State time to respond and adjourned the hearing by a week.

Meanwhile, eight persons currently in judicial custody in the case, including four students and their parents, were produced before Panneerselvam, Theni Judicial Magistrate, who extended their judicial custody.

Three male students from SRM Medical College, Government Dharmapuri Medical College and Sree Balaji Medical College, Chennai, and their fathers have been lodged in Theni district jail.

A female student of Saveetha Medical College and her mother have been lodged in Madurai Central Prison.

The Theni medico, who was among the first to be arrested in the case, was granted bail earlier by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.

However, the court denied bail to his father.
