Madurai:11.10.2019

The Madras high court has granted permission to a youth arrested in a case to continue to pursue MBBS course in Russia. Petitioner Palanikumar, a resident of Dindigul district, had filed a habeas corpus petition before the high court Madurai bench seeking to produce his 17-year old daughter who, he said, was being detained by his brother Baskaran’s family.

Sempatti police registered a case against Baskaran, his wife and two sons. The prosecution case is that Baskaran’s elder son, who was in a relationship with the petitioner’s daughter, went away with her. The court had also granted bail to Baskaran, his wife and younger son. The additional public prosecutor submitted that the police were taking steps to find the petitioner’s daughter and Baskaran’s son. Baskaran’s counsel submitted that his client’s family is also helping the prosecution in the case. The counsel further submitted that the younger son of Baskaran who was pursuing MBBS course in Russia was arrested the previous day when he was making arrangements to go to Russia to continue his second year course. The counsel therefore requested to permit him to travel abroad and pursue his studies.

A division bench of Justice S Vaidyanathan and Justice N Anand Venkatesh observed that taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, they were modifying the conditions imposed in the earlier order passed for Baskaran’s younger son. The judges said the pendency of investigation will not be a bar on Baskaran’s younger son to travel abroad and pursue his studies. The judges also directed the youth to furnish the entire details regarding his residential address, email address and contact number in Russia to the police, and adjourned the case to November 25.
