Taking into account the plight of an elderly woman from Sri Lanka who requires care and support, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Centre to consider the representation made by her seeking to shift her son from the Tiruchi camp to the Mandapam camp in Ramanathapuram district, where she is presently residing, on humanitarian grounds.
The court was hearing the petition filed by M. Parvathy Pillai. The petitioner, along with her family members, came to India from Sri Lanka in 2007 and were residing at the Mandapam camp. Under these circumstances, in 2019, a case of cheating was registered against her son M. Niruban. The State passed a restriction order and he was kept in the Tiruchi camp.
