Madurai: Granting bail to a man who was arrested for illegal possession of PDS rice, Madras high court directed him to donate 25 bags of rice to a special school for intellectually challenged children at Madurai.

The prosecution said petitioner Arun and three others were in illegal possession of 12,000kg PDS rice. Arun’s counsel said his client, a driver, has been falsely implicated in the case and has been in jail for over 32 days, and hence sought bail.
However, the government advocate submitted that the entire 12,000kg of PDS rice was seized by police from the accused people. Justice G K Ilanthiraiyan granted bail to the petitioner on condition that he donate 25 bags (50kg each) of branded ponni rice to Anbagam, a special school for intellectually challenged children, at Madurai.
