The Madras High Court has recently dismissed the charges against 26 individuals involved in the Armstrong murder case. The court’s decision effectively ends the legal proceedings. Counsel for the accused persons argued that the dismissal of the charge sheet does not grant them the right to be released on their own bail. Senior Special Public Prosecutor R. Srinivasa argued that the dismissal would not result in their release, citing the requirement of filing charges as a key condition for bail. The accused individuals are now seeking permission to be released under their personal recognizance.
