Thondi PS vs Abdul Rahman — 420/2026

Summary The Additional Sessions Judge allowed Abdul Rahman's petition to travel to Maldives, recognizing the right to travel as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court reasoned that since Rahman was acquitted at trial and an appeal against his acquittal is pending, his physical presence is not necessary as the appeal can proceed through his counsel. Permission was granted subject to conditions including submitting travel documents, providing contact details, not traveling to other countries without court permission, and returning to India by April 7, 2026.
