The Kerala High Court on Wednesday directed the prosecution to produce the case diary in a case related to the impersonation of an elected university councillor from Christian College, Kattakada, Thiruvananthapuram. The court orally observed that the role of A. Vishak, former secretary of the SFI Kattakada unit, in the case was serious.
Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas also directed the police not to arrest him till June 20. The court passed the order when an anticipatory bail petition filed by Vishak came up for hearing.
During the hearing on the petition, the court orally observed that the Principal of the college would not have sent the name of the petitioner to the university without the instigation of the petitioner. When the counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner’s name was sent to the university as a unanimously selected councillor had expressed unwillingness to continue, the court asked how the name of the petitioner would come to the knowledge of the Principal unless he had wanted his name to be included on the list. Otherwise, in normal course, a notification should have been issued regarding the new election to the post.
