Justice S Vaidyanathan while dismissing the anticipatory bail plea of the doctor held that “Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and taking note of the fact that petitioner has cheated the defacto complainant and the students by issuing fake receipts and that huge amount is said to be swindled in the offence. Moreover, with the investigation in the case still pending, the court is of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is just and necessary. Therefore, this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to this petitioner.” According to the prosecution, S Santhanakrishnan (Petitioner) of Radha Nagar in Chrompet on claiming himself to be the founder of a trust called Platinum Health and Educational Trust had struck an agreement with Kriesh Thyagaraj (defacto complainant), running a trust called Student Protection Council of India (SPCI) in Coimbatore for sending students to Philippines for higher studies.
