The Madras High Court orders that Udhayanidhi Stalin be released on station bail after police complete questioning. According to reports, the court dismisses his anticipatory bail plea after hearing submissions from the Advocate General. The Advocate General states that Thanjavur police do not plan to remand Udhayanidhi Stalin to judicial custody. He is therefore expected to be released on station bail following questioning. Multiple outlets report that Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan makes the direction after recording the prosecution’s submission regarding the police’s intended handling of the case. One report specifies that the court asks police to release him the same day once questioning ends and the station-bail process is completed. The court’s order indicates that the relief sought through anticipatory bail is not granted in the requested form, but Udhayanidhi Stalin is to be released from custody at the station level rather than being moved to judicial custody. The decision is framed around the police’s stated position on whether he would be remanded and the conditions under which he would be released after interrogation.
