1. The appellant has laid challenge to the order dated
05.06.2023 passed by the High Court of Madras, Madurai
Bench, affirming the order dated 07.03.2022 passed by the
Judicial Magistrate, Eraniel, whereby the appellant was
released on bail subject to certain conditions, including
that he shall be detained in the Special Camp for
Foreigners at Tiruchirapalli until further orders.
2. The above-stated condition was imposed by the
Magistrate and upheld by the High Court on the premise
parents allegedly belong to Sri Lanka and they took
asylum in India due to outbreak of civil war. The
appellant was statedly born in India on 27.02.1987 at St.
Joseph Hospital, Cheyyur, Chengalpattu District, Tamil
Nadu. It further appears that the appellant was issued an
Indian Passport on 02.08.2012. He travelled abroad on
that passport, but when he applied for its renewal, it is
alleged that a wrong date of birth was mentioned. That
followed FIR No.1/2019 against two persons under Sections
420, 465, 468, 471 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code,
1860 and Section 12(1-A)(a) & (b) of the Passport Act,
1967. The appellant was also issued a notice and asked to
join the investigation in that case. He was then arrested
on 20.10.2021.
