Periya Double Murder Case: Kerala High Court Suspends Sentence Of Four CPI(M) Activists

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday suspended the sentence of 4 convicts in the Periya double murder case, including the former CPI MLA K. V. Kunhiraman. The Special CBI Court had found the former MLA K. V. Kunhiraman, K. Manikandan, Raghavan Velutholi, K. V. Bhaskaran guilty of offence under Section 225 of IPC and had sentenced them to 5 years of simple imprisonment. These 4 people convicted under Section 225 had filed an appeal before the High Court, contending that even if the allegation against them are true, it would only fall within the first limb of Section 225 of IPC which can be punished only with a maximum imprisonment of 2 years. The Division Bench comprising Justice P. B. Suresh Kumar and Justice Jobin Sebastian relied on the recent Supreme Court decision as per which the sentence is to be suspended when appeal is unlikely to be heard before completion of sentence.
