Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader P. Jayarajan voiced his dissatisfaction with the Kerala High Court’s verdict acquitting all but one of the accused in his attempted murder case.
Mr. Jayarajan, speaking to The Hindu, disclosed that he had raised objections to the court proceedings and formally requested Chief Justice A.J. Desai not to let this Bench oversee the case, as outlined in a letter dated December 26.
Highlighting the details of the letter, Mr. Jayarajan pointed out that while accused 1 to 5 and 7 were found guilty, the other three accused (6, 8, and 9) were acquitted of all charges. He noted that the State had filed an appeal against the acquittal of three accused, and the convicted accused had also filed appeals against the judgment.
