The Madras High Court on Friday declined to relax the anticipatory bail conditions imposed on Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president E.V.K.S. Elangovan in a criminal intimidation and harassment case and restricted the number of persons accompanying him while fulfilling the norms.
Disposing of a petition by Mr. Elangovan, Justice S. Vaidyanathan rejected his prayer that he be allowed to stay in Chennai and sign before the inspector of a local police station.
The Judge ordered that two advocates could accompany him to the Thallakulam police station in Madurai and only two vehicles could be allowed in the station complex.
Mr. Elangovan had gone to the station with a convoy comprising 11 vehicles, which was questioned by the court on Thursday.
Justice Vaidyanathan had on August 24 granted anticipatory bail to Mr. Elangovan and Narayanan, a staff at the Kamarajar Arangam, an auditorium run by a TNCC-administered trust, in the case filed on a complaint from a former woman employee of the auditorium.
