The Madras High Court grants bail to a suspected Maoist on condition that she would file a sworn affidavit in Tamil owing faith and allegiance to the Indian Constitution and stating that she does not believe in Maoism.

Court said that in cases where people wedded to a certain ideology are involved, they do everything possible to prevent the conduct of the trial and such things remain unknown to the media or the outside world.

“On account of such dilatory tactics adopted by the accused, evidences disappear eventually leading to their acquittal. At that time, there will be a hue and cry saying that the system, without any material thereof, had kept the person in prolonged incarceration," court added.

"This is the bane of our present-day criminal justice system and we have to grudgingly endure it,” the bench of Justices P.N. Prakash and R. Hemalatha further lamented.

Importantly, the bench granted liberty to the special court to cancel the bail and remand Sathya Mary@ Padma, a suspected Maoist, in judicial custody if she adopts dilatory tactics during the course of the trial.
