Here's a quick rundown: Thulukanammal asked the court to release her son, T. Yuvaraj, who was locked up as a "Troublemaker." The court dropped the case after the detention order was canceled.

The Petition and the People Involved

Thulukanammal, who filed the request, is the wife of the late Thulasi Reddy. She asked the court to release her son, T. Yuvaraj, from Central Prison, Vellore. He was detained under the Tamil Nadu Act 14/1982 and called a "Troublemaker."

Key People in the Case

The case involved several important people:

  • Person Requesting: Thulukanammal
  • People Responding: The Secretary to the Government, District Collector, Superintendent of Police, Superintendent of Central Prison, and Inspector of Police from Ranipet District.
  • Judges: The case was overseen by Honourable Mrs. Justice J. Nisha Banu and Honourable Mr. Justice S. Sounthar.

The Detention Order

Yuvaraj was detained under an order given on July 24, 2025. His mother challenged this order, asking for his release.

"The request to release Yuvaraj is filed under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution for the issuance of a Writ of Habeas Corpus."

Court's Decision

When the case was heard, the lawyer for Thulukanammal told the court that the detention order had already been canceled. As a result, the court dropped the request since it was no longer needed.

"Recording the said submission, this request for release is dismissed as unnecessary."

Summary of Verdict

The court decided to drop the request because the detention order was already canceled, which made the request unnecessary.
