The Kerala High Court has extended till October 16 its stay on the further proceedings in a case registered against K.B. Ganesh Kumar MLA pending before the Kottarakkara First Class Judicial Magistrate Court in connection with the the alleged conspiracy to name late Congress leader Oommen Chandy in the Solar scam-related sexual assault case.
When a petition by the MLA seeking to quash the case came up for hearing recently, Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan observed that the allegations against the MLA were serious.
The judge said that he was not inclined to extend the stay but since the counsel for the petitioner sought time to engage a senior counsel in the case, he was extending the interim order till October 16.
