BREAKING: Kerala High Court Cancels Anticipatory Bail Of Writer-Activist Civic Chandran In Sexual Harassment Case

Live Law  

Allowing the state government and victim's petitions challenging the sessions court order, the Kerala High Court on Thursday cancelled author and social activist Civic Chandran's anticipatory bail in a sexual harassment case. The Kerala State Government and the De Facto Complainant had approached the High Court challenging the anticipatory bail granted to Writer-Activist Civic Chandran, arguing that the order is against the spirit of the special law enacted for Prevention of Atrocities against the people belonging to SC/ST community. When the matter was previously taken up by the high court, it was averred by the State that the Sessions Court went wrong in considering the pre-arrest bail application under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, when there is an absolute bar under Sections 18 and 18 A of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act, 1989. A Single Bench of the Kerala High Court earlier this month, while disposing of the two pleas moved by the State as well as the De facto complainant, observed that even though the reason shown by the Court below for granting anticipatory bail cannot be justified, the order granting anticipatory bail cannot be set aside.
