The Madras High Court on Friday granted bail to DMK MLA E. Karunanithi’s son Anto Mathivanan and daughter-in-law Marlena Anne in a case booked against the couple for having allegedly tortured their domestic help belonging to a scheduled caste community.
Justice M. Nirmal Kumar granted the relief on condition that the petitioners must appear before the investigating officer every day for a period of two weeks. The order was passed after the prosecution submitted the details of investigation conducted so far.
The police also told the court that the victim’s educational certificates had been recovered from the accused and that she had already filed a petition before the court concerned for return of those certificates to her in order to pursue higher education.
