The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has quashed the transfer orders of five prison personnel of the Palayamkottai Central Prison. The transfer orders were passed without following the principles of natural justice, the court said.

The court was hearing the petitions filed by five prison personnel who challenged their transfer from the Palayamkottai Central Prison to other central prisons. It was passed following the alleged murder of a remand prisoner, Muthu Mano inside the Palayamkottai Central Prison.
