Summary: On January 28, 2026, the Madras High Court allowed R.K. Girivasan to be released on bail in a case about the death of a person in Namakkal. The decision was made after looking at different factors and was led by Judge Sunder Mohan.
On December 17, 2025, the Namakkal Special Court refused to release R.K. Girivasan on bail. He was accused of being involved in a serious crime. The charges included planning and helping in a murder, according to the laws meant to protect certain communities from unfair treatment.
The lawyers for the government said that R.K. Girivasan, along with others, planned against the victim. The reason was a supposed comment by the victim about the first accused's mother. R.K. Girivasan allegedly told the others about where the victim was going, which led to the victim being stabbed.
"The person asking for bail had helped the other accused by telling them about where the victim was going."
R.K. Girivasan's lawyer said that he had no past criminal activities and was not directly involved in the murder. They mentioned that another person accused in a similar way had already been allowed to go on bail.
Judge Sunder Mohan noted that R.K. Girivasan had been in jail since September 4, 2025. The court decided to let him out on bail, considering the time he had already spent in jail and the nature of the accusations.
The court set several rules for R.K. Girivasan's release:
"The person asking for bail shall not commit any crime of a similar nature."
The court decided to grant bail to R.K. Girivasan, balancing the time he had already spent in jail and the seriousness of the accusations against him. The decision reflects the court's attempt to ensure fairness while considering the rights of the accused.
