Top court restores 1990 evidence tampering case against Kerala MLA Antony Raju

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday restored criminal proceedings against Kerala MLA and former minister Antony Raju in the 1990 underwear evidence-tampering case. The Supreme Court held that the Kerala High Court erred in holding that the criminal proceedings were barred due to Section 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Antony Raju, then a junior lawyer representing the accused, collected the seized underwear, a key piece of evidence, when the court allowed the return of the accused's belongings. Raju approached the High Court in 2022 after media reports spotlighted the case's prolonged pendency.
