The Kerala High Court on Monday declined to extend the stay on the proceedings in a case against K.B. Ganesh Kumar, MLA, pending before the Kottarakara First Class Judicial Magistrate (JFCM) Court in connection with a case relating to the alleged conspiracy to name th late Congress leader and former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the solar sexual assault case.
Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan, however, ordered that Mr. Ganesh Kumar’s appearance need not be insisted by the magistrate court for 10 days. The court passed the order on a petition filed by Mr. Ganesh Kumar seeking to quash all the proceedings against him before the JFCM court.
When the petition came up for hearing, counsel for the MLA submitted that that no forgery had taken place. It was the victim who had prepared the letter, signed and submitted before the commission. Therefore, the allegation against Mr. Kumar was not correct
