The Kerala High Court on March 22 (Friday) granted bail to P.G. Manu, former government pleader and an accused in a case relating to sexually assaulting his woman client.
Counsel for the petitioner pointed out that he has been in judicial custody since his arrest on January 31, 2024. As the investigation was over and final report filed, his continued detention was not necessary for the purpose of investigation.
Justice Sophy Thomas, while granting him bail, observed that the fact that the petitioner was a senior government pleader and he “sexually exploited a hapless woman” who approached him to settle a case in which she was the victim, was to be taken note of seriously.
