Summary: On December 17, 2025, the Madras High Court allowed Abdul Malik and others to be released from jail while waiting for their trial in a case involving a plan to hurt and kill someone in Chennai. Judge Sunder Mohan was in charge of the case, which had serious accusations related to mistreating someone based on their caste.
The case involves Abdul Malik and others accused of planning and attacking Manimaran, which led to his death. This happened in Chennai. According to the police, the attack happened because they thought Manimaran had stolen from the company where the main accused was the boss.
At first, the main judge in Tiruvallur said no to letting the accused out of jail on November 10, 2025. The people accused were listed as A1, A5, and A6 in the police report.
The defense said that Abdul Malik and the others had been in jail since October 10, 2025. They noted that another person involved had already been let out on bail on November 25, 2025, after paying ₹10,00,000. They asked for the same treatment, saying the accusations weren't clear.
"The people asking for bail are ready to pay the amounts like the others did before."
The lawyers for the government didn't want them to get bail, saying the crime was very serious. They said the victim was attacked because of his caste, and there were efforts to hide what happened.
Judge Sunder Mohan decided to let them out on bail, but Abdul Malik had to pay ₹5,00,000, while the others had to pay ₹1,00,000 each.
The court set strict rules for their release:
The money they paid will be shared with the family of the person who died. The part for the child will be saved in a bank until they are grown up.
The court decided to let Abdul Malik and the others out of jail temporarily, with specific rules and financial conditions to ensure they follow the law and take responsibility.
