    The Madurai Bench allowed the habeas corpus petition and set aside the detention order against Sudalaimuthu under the Tamil Nadu Goonda Act. The court found that the detaining authority failed to provide adequate reasoning for its conclusion that steps were being taken to file bail petitions, and improperly relied on a precedent case with dissimilar circumstances (investigation incomplete vs. nearly complete). The detenu was ordered released immediately. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
