Checkbox is checked but Model is still false

I have the following model:

  public class TaskViewModel{
   //other properties are omitted for brevity
    IsUnderControl{get;set;}
  }

On the other hand I have these two DOM elements that I manually bind to the model property:

<input type="checkbox" name="IsUnderControl" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="IsUnderControl" value="false" />

Now, after submitting, the value of IsUnderControl is false even if the checkbox is checked.

*Note: When I inspect the checkbox I see that there's no checked="checked" among the element checkbox atributes.
