The Kerala High Court strongly criticized State officials for permitting political parties to hold meetings on roads and footpaths, violating court orders. It rejected their apology, stating “Mere tendering of apology is not enough.” The Court observed that such events disrupt public movement and ordered officials and political leaders, including CPI(M) and Congress, to submit explanations by March 3. CPI(M) leader MV Govindan has been directed to appear in court on February 12 at 4 PM.
The Kerala High Court on Thursday(12th Dec) rebuked both ruling and opposition parties for obstructing public roads during meetings, labeling a specific CPI(M) conference as a “breach of trust.” The court directed police to identify participants and mandated action against them. Concerns were raised about further protests violating court orders, reinforcing the need for unbiased law enforcement.
