G.Ramya v. The Additional Chief Secretary To Government
M.S.RAMESH, J.
and SUNDER MOHAN, J.
This petition has been filed to extend the interim bail granted to the detenu viz., Gunasekar @ Sekar, son of Sachidanandham, Ct.No.21210, confined at Central Prison, Vellore, in WMP.No.10498 of 2024 in WP.No.9442 of 2024, order dated 04.04.2024, from 05.07.2024 to further period of three months.
2. Admittedly, the petitioner's request for premature release of the detenu was considered favaourably by the State Government based on the recommendation of the Hon'ble Justice Thiru.N.Authinathan Committee and orders have been obtained from the Hon'ble Chief Minister and also circulated to the Hon'ble Governor.
3. This Court, by order dated 04.04.2024, already granted interim bail to the detenu for a period of three months since premature release process was on its last limb based on the orders passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Sikkander vs. The State and others, Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.)
No.12784 of 2022.
4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the premature release process is still at the same stage and further orders have not been so far passed.
5.While granting interim bail, this Court had directed the State Authorities to submit a report with regard to the prison inmate before expiry of three months. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor had produced the report of the Probation Officer, which stated that the conduct of the detenu was good during the said period of three months.
6. In view of the above facts and also taking note of the fact that the interim bail expires on 05.07.2024, we are inclined to extend the interim bail for further period of three months on the same conditions imposed in WMP.No.10498 of 2024. Accordingly, this petition is allowed, by granting interim bail for a period of three months from 05.07.2024 till 05.10.2024.
7. Call the matter on 01.10.2024.
