Quick Summary: Aadhi asked for bail in a case related to the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The Madras court, led by Judge A.D. Jagadish Chandira, has allowed him to turn himself in and ask for bail on the same day.

The Case Background

What Aadhi Wanted

Aadhi, represented by Mr. M. Ragul Kousik, wanted the court to let him turn himself in and have his bail request considered on the same day. This was a big request because the SC & ST Act has strict rules, especially under Section 18.

"The petitioner shall surrender before the jurisdictional Court within a period of fifteen days from the date of the receipt of a copy of this order."

What Happens Next?
