Durai Dayanithi (27), son of former Union Minister M.K. Alagiri, has moved the Madras High Court Bench here once again with a plea to relax conditions imposed by the court while granting him advance bail in a case booked by the Keelavazhavu police here on charges of committing illegalities in granite quarrying.
According to the petitioner, the court had granted him anticipatory bail on December 10, 2010 on condition that he should execute a bond for Rs.10,000 with two sureties to the satisfaction of the judicial magistrate concerned besides surrendering his passport in the lower court and appearing before the investigation officer every day until further orders.
He executed the bond on December 14 and began complying with the conditions from the next day. On April 4, 2013 the High Court ordered return of his passport on execution of a bond for Rs.2 lakh and directed him to intimate about his foreign travel plans to the lower court as well as the police at least 10 days in advance before embarking on such trips.
Subsequently, on yet another modification petition filed by him, the court reduced the time period before which he should inform the magistrate and the police about his travel plans from 10 to three days. Stating that he was a film producer, who had to make frequent foreign visits, he now urged the court to relax the conditions completely since they were onerous.
