S. Saravana asked the court if he could travel abroad for 20 working days each month. The court, led by Judge N. Senthilkumar, agreed, but with some conditions. Here's how it all went down.
Saravana requested permission from the court to travel overseas for work. He promised he wouldn't run away since his family is in India. He even said he'd submit a written statement to prove it.
Mr. K. Balaji, the lawyer for the Central Government, wasn't too happy about it. He mentioned that a Look Out Circular (LOC) was still active against Saravana, meaning he was being watched.
Judge N. Senthilkumar agreed to let Saravana travel, but only if he followed certain rules:
Limited Travel: Saravana can travel for 20 days a month.
No Extradition Zones: He can only visit countries that don't have agreements with India to send back people accused of crimes.
Detailed Itinerary: Saravana must provide travel details, including dates, places, and contacts.
"The petitioner should furnish the reason and specific date of his travel, his travel itinerary, place of stay, contact details and he shall be accessible through e-mail and other modes of communications."
Affidavit Required: He must file a written statement about his travel plans with the court and the investigating agency.
Personal Bond: He needs to sign a bond worth Rs.10,00,000 and get two promises from people, one being a relative.
Suspended LOC: The LOC will be paused when Saravana travels.
The court allowed Saravana's request with no extra costs and closed the related miscellaneous petition. So, Saravana can travel, but he needs to stick to the rules laid out by the court.
