Senior Congressman and former Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala has welcomed the decision of the Kerala High Court which rejected the petition of six LDF MLAs that the case over the fracas in the Assembly in 2015 be stayed.
The CPI(M)-led government has been conspiring with the said MLAs, who are the accused in the case, to withdraw the case in total violation of the law, said Mr. Chennithala on Friday. The High Court decision is a major blow to the government as well as the accused, he added.
Mr. Chennithala said he had been relentlessly fighting, right from the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court to the Supreme Court, to thwart all attempts of the government and the accused to get the courts to drop the case. The High Court judgment has come as a vindication of his efforts, he said.
