The Special Court for SC/ST (PoA) Act Cases, Mannarkkad, trying the Madhu lynching case, has summoned the government ophthalmologist who examined the vision of Sunil Kumar, one of the witnesses who turned hostile.
The court will hear the eye specialist of the Government District Hospital, Palakkad, on Saturday. The ophthalmologist had disputed 38-year-old Sunil Kumar’s claim that he had blurred vision, and certified that his vision was as clear as that of a 25-year-old man.
Special Public Prosecutor Rajesh M. Menon on Friday requested the court to record the remaining part of the trial both in audio and video especially in the light of witnesses turning hostile in the case. The court will take a decision after hearing the counsels for the accused on Monday.
