Fresh chargesheet to MV Jayarajan

Monday, August 1, 2011: The Kerala High Court on Monday issued a fresh chargesheet to MV Jayarajan in connection with the contempt of court case charged against him.
The court decided to issue a fresh chargesheet after the court-appointed prosecutor S Sreekumar submitted that the chargesheet already issued was improper. The court has asked the CPM leader to appear in person.

The High Court had initiated suo motu contempt of court proceedings against Jayarajan after he made critical comments against judges for banning roadside meetings during a public speech in Kannur on June 26 last year.
The court, after examining available documents, video clippings and submissions made by amicus curiae, concluded that there was contempt in his remarks. The hearing of the case will begin on August 16.
