Can you please talk for me?
- I can't do anything in this case. - Okay sir.
- Just think about it, will he listen to me? - Sir...
Sir...
Hey, why are you still here?
My daughter was kidnapped, please trust me.
Please find her for me.
Hey listen...
Don't repeat the same thing, because of the nature of her job these things are bound to happen.
S.I. will be here shortly, if he finds you in the premises...
he'll bash you up and then let you go.
You can beat me to death but please find my daughter sir.
If you dare to stay here for some more time, that is also bound to happen.
If you don't help me, I'll complain to your higher officials.
Look at him, he's getting livid...
"higher" as in...
high court?
Go and scream out of your lungs and ask for help...
but don't pester us again.
- Hey, let's go... - He's a lunatic.
- Sir? - Nothing gets into his head!
Next hearing will be 18th of this month.
Item no: 10, HCP no 355 of 2025
Sir, just ask for 2 days time...
we can convince her and bring her to court.
No...
You may start...
My lords, the case we're arguing here
has already been closed 17 yrs ago.
That is, Vennila who went missing at 3 yrs old..
after 5 yrs, that is at the age of 8 yrs...
was handed over to her mother by the cops.
Because his daughter went missing...
Kuppusamy became mentally ill and was undergoing treatment for 22 yrs.
that is Vennila father, who knows...
His wife got married again and may be leading a peaceful life with her daughter.
They could've refused to stay in touch with Kuppusamy.
Unaware of this development, Kuppusamy with the memory of his missing young daughter...
thought that his daughter went missing few days back...
and requesting to find her, he set himself on fire and died.
Poor guy, his mental heath was badly affected.
The mental hospital who discharged him without completing his treatment...
should be taken action against instead...
of the police department who are following their duty.
Even Mr Sundaramoorthy is aware of it.
Here is the proof of Vennila, who went missing in childhood, was found and was returned to her parent.
Also the proof of Kuppusamy getting treatment for 22 yrs in mental hospital, are here.
This is not a Habeas corpus case.
Should our honourable court waste it's time on this case?
Please dismiss this petition.
Petitioner counsel...
My lords, let me tell you a story.
It's not just a story but...
This is a testament on how much of an individual's welfare...
security and freedom are at stake, in this society.
Yes, Vennila who went missing in her childhood...
was returned to her mother after 5 yrs.
However at that time, just like the prosecution mentioned...
Kuppusamy's wife who got remarried couldn't take care of that child.
She was sent to an orphanage.
If she was raised and educated to become...
a government official or a private sector employee and was abducted...
the police would've filed a case and...
atleast started an active search for her.
Instead, she was caught in the hands of wrong people and was forced to stand on the road for a job.
Yes...
As a prostitute.
After getting discharged from the mental hospital...
Kuppusamy goes to his wife and inquires about his daughter.
Based on the information given by his wife, when he went to see his daughter and...
a shock was waiting for him.
Moreover, he saw his daughter getting abducted in front of his eyes...
he was aghast and goes to plead with the police.
Nobody listened to him, he was forced to go away.
They knew that Vennila was abducted by...
a powerful person's son and his friends.
Nobody even considered him as a human.
Nobody even listened to his cry for help
So he decided to set himself on fire and...
registered his protest in the court premises.
I object this my lords.
It doesn't make sense.
I thought, a mentally ill Kuppusamy concocted a story and wasted our time. However...
a perfectly healthy Sundaramoothy...
is concocting a bigger and more creative story to waste the time of this honourable court.
Is there any proof to support this story?
Counsel, do you have any evidences or witness to support your statement?
No my lords...
My lords please, we're not here to listen to his creative stories...
My lords, they are also two ordinary people in...
the society, with flesh and blood just like us.
Mentally ill people, sexual workers...
and such marginalized people are included while establishing this constitution.
This institution called the court is common for everyone.
and by "everyone" I mean... EVERYONE!
A person's race, religion, language, caste, job, mental health shouldn't affect it.
We can only deal with our case within the technicalities of law.
I agree!
Law is the foundation however justice is above it.
Law can be different in different places however justice remains the same.
Law should only be a path to justice and...
not a tool to deny justice.
What's your point Counsel?
My lords, this case is an eye opener.
Our court can take this opportunity for government bodies like the police force to amend themselves...
and this case should be reason to do so. This is my request.
What you narrated is fake story and moreover...
government bodies should amend themselves?
It's amusing to hear...
Counsel, do you want to say anything?
No my lords...
Sir...
Sir, Vennila...
Sir, please seek their premission.
Sir...
My lords, I seek your permission...
to produce Vennila...
the daughter of late Kuppusamy, to this honourable court.
My lords, I don't understand...
how can they produce someone without notice?
If you can produce a fake Vennila without any prior notice...
What's wrong if we produce the original Vennila in the same way.
My lordships, please allow us to produce answer to all your questions.
Permission granted.
- Thank you. - Go ahead...
Sir, this is the real Vennila.
What is your name?
Don't be afraid, tell us your name.
Vennila...
How is she here?
Do you know Kuppusamy?
Yeah
Who is he to you?
Father...
Like your father claimed, were you abducted?
Please reply to us in "yes" or "no".
Yes...
Objection my lords.
Please stay calm.
Tell us what happened on that day?
I was waiting for customers like every other day...
then Councillor's son Hari and his friends abducted me and...
they tortured and raped me for two days and...
threw me away on the road like a bag of trash.
In current times...
this is the pitiful situation of the helpless and marginalised people
People like us who should offer a helping hand are squashing them under our boot.
My lords, this is a case of abduction.
So under section 366, kidnapping a woman...
section 376 D, gang rape...
section 354, section 342 and under section 330.
I humbly request you to investigate under the aforementioned sections.
The victim has now been produced before the honourable court.
Accordingly, the purpose of Habeas corpus petition stands fulfilled upon the submission of DNA test.
This court appreciates Mr Sundaramoorthy and his co-counsel's Aruna's honest effort...
in the finding the concerned person.
The police officers who were negilgent in performing their duty will face strict action.
From the victim's statement and available facts...
it is evident that this is a serious case of abduction...
sexual assault and brutal violence committed against a woman.
so the people involved namely Councillor's son Hari and his friends...
the police officers who supported them should be named in the FIR...
and file a charge sheet, in a month's time...
and this court recommends it to be taken to trial court.
This court also orders to complete the trial in three month's time.
Futher more, this court recommends the case be prosecuted in the name of the state...
given the gravity and public importance of the offence.
This court also directs strict legal action to be taken against any individual...
including those within government bodies who may have aided or abetted the accused...
either directly or indirectly.
No one, I repeat no one who shields criminal shall be spared irrespective of their positions.
Thank you my lords...
