DMK MP Poyyamozhi seeks bail citing serious health condition

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Member of Parliament has filed a bail application before the Madras High Court, citing deteriorating health conditions as grounds for his release. Poyyamozhi's legal team has submitted that he is suffering from acute-on-chronic pancreatitis, a serious medical condition requiring specialized treatment and care.

The bail petition comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings involving the senior party leader. The case has drawn attention given Poyyamozhi's status as an elected representative and his prominence within the DMK's political structure.

Justice V. Lakshminarayanan, who holds the portfolio for Member of Parliament and Member of Legislative Assembly cases, will preside over the hearing scheduled for November 12, 2026. The court will examine both the medical evidence presented by Poyyamozhi's counsel and the state's response during the proceedings.

The outcome of the bail plea may hinge on the court's assessment of the medical documents submitted and whether the judge believes the petitioner requires immediate specialized healthcare that cannot be provided during continued custody. Such health-based bail applications require substantiation through medical reports and expert opinions.
