Here's a quick rundown: Kanagavalli filed a request for her brother, Mohandass, who is in Madurai Central Prison. The court decided Mohandass can have a 21-day leave without needing someone to accompany him, saving the family money.
On December 17, 2025, the Madurai branch of the Madras High Court, with Judges G.K. Ilanthiraiyan and R. Poornima, looked at a request from Kanagavalli. She asked the court to let her brother, Mohandass, have time away from prison without needing someone to go with him.
Mohandass was found guilty on April 12, 2022, by a judge in Madurai for serious crimes and was sentenced to life in prison. He needed to have eye surgery and take care of some maintenance work. His sister, Kanagavalli, asked for a 21-day leave for him.
"The family is poor and can't afford the cost for someone to accompany him."
At first, the leave was given with the condition that Mohandass must have someone with him. However, the family couldn't afford this. The court decided to change this rule, allowing him to take leave without someone accompanying him. Mohandass must check in every day with the local police in Chengalpattu at 5:30 p.m.
The court canceled the earlier order that required someone to accompany him on October 9, 2025. This decision was made by Judge G.K. Ilanthiraiyan and Judge R. Poornima, giving some relief to Kanagavalli’s family.
