The accused, Manoj’s lawyer said, part of his bail condition was to not leave Udhagamandalam, but stated he was unable to find accommodation or work in the city, due to his connection with the high-profile crime
One of the prime accused in the Kodanad-heist-cum-murder case, “Walayar” Manoj, has filed a petition before the district sessions court in Udhagamandalam seeking to be taken back to prison, claiming he was finding it difficult to fulfill his bail conditions.
His advocate, M.Munirathnam said that Manoj, accused number 2 in the case, had been out on bail since November 25. Manoj had been granted conditional bail in July 2021. However, as he could not fulfill the bail conditions, Mr. Munirathnam had approached the court seeking relaxations of the conditions, which was granted in November. District judge-cum-Chief judicial magistrate, Udhagamandalam, C.SanjaiBaba had relaxed the bail conditions and asked Mr.Manoj to sign in the court register every Monday and was instructed to not leave Udhagamandalam.
