Here's a quick rundown: Danush, who was initially allowed to leave jail temporarily by the Namakkal court, faced issues with the rules set. The Madras High Court, led by Judge K. Rajasekar, changed these rules on December 18, 2025.

The Original Bail Rules

Back on September 26, 2025, Danush was allowed to leave jail temporarily by the Fast Track Mahila Court in Namakkal. The rule was to sign an agreement for Rs. 10,000 along with two financially stable people who would vouch for him. This was part of Crime No. 75 of 2025.

"The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on executing a bond for a sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) along with two solvent sureties..."

The Typo Trouble

Danush's lawyer, Mr. C. Deepak Kumar, pointed out a typo in the court's order dated October 29, 2025. This mistake needed fixing for clarity in the bail rules.

The Request for Change

Danush couldn't meet the original requirements because of issues with the financial stability certificates. So, his lawyer asked for a change to allow people to vouch for him without needing the financial stability certificate.

"Since the petitioner is unable to produce solvency certificate, he could not execute the sureties despite the grant of bail."

The Court's Decision

Considering the situation, Judge K. Rajasekar agreed to change the bail rules. Now, Danush has to sign an agreement for Rs. 20,000 with two people vouching for him, but without needing the financial stability certificate.

"The petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum."

What's Next?

The court ordered the registry to issue the corrected order. Danush's legal journey continues, but with a bit more clarity on the bail rules.

This case highlights how important it is for legal documents to be error-free, as even small mistakes can lead to significant issues.
