Quick Summary: Alan, caught in a legal tangle, sought changes to his bail conditions in Chennai. After several attempts, the court finally modified these conditions.
Back in March 2025, Alan was allowed to leave jail temporarily by the Principal Special Court under the EC & NDPS Act in Chennai. The court asked him to pay a bond of ₹10,000 with two people to vouch for him. One of these people had to be a government worker. This was part of the case filed by the Chennai Central Police Station under Crime No.23 of 2025.
"The petitioner/accused shall execute a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned XVI Metropolitan Magistrate, George Town."
Alan faced a big hurdle. He couldn’t find a government worker to vouch for him. In October 2025, he asked for a change to these bail conditions. The court allowed a change, stating he could use a family member as a surety instead. But Alan hit another roadblock—his only family member was a younger sister who was not an adult.
On December 19, 2025, Judge K. Rajasekar of the Madras High Court stepped in. Considering Alan had been in jail for a long time since March, the court changed the bail conditions again. Alan now needed to pay a bond of ₹20,000 with two people to vouch for him, but no financial proof was required.
"The petitioner herein shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned XVI Metropolitan Magistrate, George Town."
The court ultimately decided to ease Alan's bail conditions due to his long stay in jail, allowing him to use any two people as sureties without needing financial proof.
