The bench comprising of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Shankar's mother Kamala challenging the detention of him under the Tamil Nadu 'Goondas' Act 1982. The bench posted the matter for further consideration to next Tuesday after Senior Advocates Mukul Rohatgi and Siddharth Luthra appearing for the State of Tamil Nadu, pointed out that the connected case filed by Shankar seeking the clubbing of 16 FIRs against him has not been listed. The bench agreed to adjourn the hearing.
The counsel, Advocate Balaji Srinivasan appearing for the petitioner, submitted before the court that Shankar has been kept in solitary confinement in a prison at Madurai and has requested that an interim arrangement be provided whereby he is being shifted to a prison in Chennai where he can access library and other facilities.
The bench in the case observed that solitary confinement is not justifiable.
