HC holds special sitting on Sunday to grant bail to prisoner

The Madras High Court held a special sitting on Sunday and granted interim bail to a prisoner to take part in the rituals to be performed after his father's death on August 18.

Justice G. Jayachandran heard the matter in his chambers, after Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari granted permission for the special sitting, and granted interim bail for three days.

The petitioner Sathish was arrested by the Kancheepuram police on August 6 in a case booked under Section 399 (making preparation to commit dacoity) of the Indian Penal Code and sent to judicial custody.
