He submitted that in the English version of the detention order the name is mentioned as ‘Sivakumar’, however, in the Tamil version it was mentioned as ‘Prabhakaran’ who was driving the vehicle smuggling sand. Hence, it was not known who was driving the vehicle.The additional public prosecutor K Dinesh Babu submitted that though the FIR mentioned about involvement of two vehicles, the lorry driven by Sivakumar alone was captured from the place of occurrence. Hence, he submitted that the detention order was passed by following due process of law.On perusal of the submissions, a division bench of justice T Raja and justice B Pugalendhi observed that when a query was raised by the court whether Sivakumar or Prabhakaran was involved in smuggling, it was unable to get any plausible answer. Even in the counter affidavit, it is not mentioned as to who drove the vehicle.“A perusal of the English and Tamil version of the detention order clearly shows that the detaining authority has not applied his mind. Therefore, it is difficult to find out whether it was Sivakumar or Prabhakaran, who was another accused in the case drove the vehicle and attempted to run over the officials. Hence, the claim of the petitioner that there was no proper application of mind in passing the detention order is accepted,” observed the judges. The judges directed the Trichy superintendent of central prison to release Sivakumar from the prison forthwith, unless his presence is required in connection with any other case.LATEST VIDEOSSold ornaments to pay one lakh rupees to Davinder Singh: Afzal Guru’s wife03:19Minor molestation case: Missing girl who accused Maha top cop, traced to Dehradun with friend01:21Army Day 2020: India celebrates with fervour03:31Goods train derails in Mumbai, rail movement affected01:39Myriads of kites fill sky in Konark on Makar Sankranti02:32Pongal 2020: Markets flooded with turmeric, jaggery01:33Download the Times of India News App for Latest City NewsStart your day smart with storiescurated specially for youAdd Comment
