Kerala Court warrant to produce Maudany

By Our Staff Reporter

Kochi Jan. 17. The Ernakulam Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, C.C. Zcaria, on Friday issued a warrant to the Superintendent of Central Prison, Coimbatore to produce Maudany, PDP chairman before the court on March 4, in connection with the trial of as many as 16 criminal cases transferred to it.

The criminal cases pending before various magistrate courts in the State were transferred to the Additional Magistrate court following a direction from the High Court. The order came on a petition filed by the PDP chief seeking the transfer of cases, since he could not appear before all the criminal courts spread across the State because of his ill-health. He also cited "threat" to his life as a ground for transferring the case. The Government had also conceded before the court that it had no objection to all the cases being transferred to a single Magistrate court in view of the security threat posed to the PDP chief.
