The Madras High Court dismissed a habeas corpus plea filed by Savukku Shankar’s mother alleging solitary confinement during his December 2025 incarceration. The Court also closed the medical treatment plea and said police can act as per law if he fails to surrender after interim bail ends.
The Supreme Court ordered the release of a convict in the 1994 triple murder case, noting he was a juvenile, just 14 years old, at the time of the crime. The apex court observed that he had already served over 25 years in prison. The decision was made under provisions of juvenile justice laws. This ruling highlights the court’s stance on rehabilitative justice for juveniles.
