Court orders release after questioning
The government lawyer explained that the case involved a woman’s dignity. Therefore, taking Udhayanidhi Stalin into custody became necessary.
However, the lawyer said authorities had no plan to send him for remand. He added that officials only needed questioning related to the matter.
Since the incident happened in Thanjavur, authorities took Udhayanidhi there for questioning. The lawyer presented this argument before the court.
Government explains action before court
After hearing the government’s submission, the Madras High Court passed its order. The court said officials should allow Udhayanidhi Stalin to leave after questioning.
The decision came after the government clarified its position. Authorities stated that they did not intend to arrest him or continue custody.
