Judgment : 1.

Mr. G.R.Swaminathan, learned counsel for the Petitioner would submit that many people who are mentally ill are wandering in the streets of Madurai District and surrounding areas and are knocked down by the moving vehicles causing instantaneous death. Only to avoid that and also to save those orphans, the Petitioner has come before this Court. The learned counsel would further submit that considering the allegations made against the Trust that they have kidnapped the mentally ill people and kept them in the Trust, necessitated them to come out with this Petition. The learned counsel would submit that in a Tamil dily, it is reported that about 60 deaths were caused due to the road accident in a month. It is also contended that those helpless people are being sexually harassed. 3. Mr. P.Kandasamy, learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that respondents Police will help the Trust to identify and rescue the mentally ill people, otherwise they will face problems in the society and there is every likelihood of losing their lives in the road accident. 4.

It is now-a-days common that even normal people cannot cross the road. When such is the position, for a mentally ill person wandering in the streets according to their own wish, does not have the normal mental status to know the rules and regulations of traffic and hence they would definitely be knock down by the moving vehicles. As far as the mentally ill ladies are concerned, there is definitely more chance for getting abused sexually. 6.
