The daughter of Gem Granites promoter Veeramani has moved the Madras High Court seeking redressal for alleged human rights violations during her detention by a Special Investigation Team (SIT). According to her petition, Archana was deboarded from an aircraft at an Indian airport while attempting to board a Singapore-bound flight and subsequently taken into police custody.
Archana's legal plea contends that she was detained without the production of any summons, arrest warrant, court order, or Look Out Circular (LOC) by the investigating authorities. The petition raises concerns about the procedural compliance and legality of her apprehension, claiming violations of her fundamental rights.
The case adds to existing legal complexities surrounding Gem Granites, a prominent player in India's granite and stone industry. The SIT's actions in relation to the company and its key associates have now come under judicial scrutiny with this high court filing.
The Madras High Court is expected to examine whether the detention followed due process and whether appropriate legal procedures were observed by the investigating team. The petition seeks appropriate relief and directions to ensure adherence to constitutional safeguards during investigation proceedings.
