Madras High Court Allows Mylapore Businessman Medical Treatment at Private Hospital

The Madras High Court has permitted T. Devanathan Yadav, managing director of Mylapore Hindu Permanent Fund Nidhi Limited, to receive medical treatment at a private hospital while in custody. Yadav, involved in a ₹600-crore default case, will undergo surgeries on his knee and spine. The court ruled that Yadav must remain in the hospital under police escort, with costs covered by his friend. The decision emphasizes the right of undertrial prisoners to medical treatment of their choice, provided no security risks are posed.
