S.Kiran, v. the Deputy Superintendent of
Case brief
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court disposed of a bail prayer petition filed under Cr.P.C. 482. Instead of routine same-day hearing directions, the Court directed petitioners to surrender within ten days. The trial court must then hear the bail matter on merits after issuing victim notice under the SC/ST Act, 1989, due to continued inpatient treatment of the victim.
What did the court decide?
Directing surrender within ten days; trial court to hear bail on merits after victim notice under SC/ST Act section 15-A.
