Kochi : The High Court on Thursday canceled anticipatory bail of activist Civic Chandran in connection with the sexual assault case against him. The cancellation came over the government and victim’s plea challenging Kozhikode Sessions Court ruling that allowed Chandran the bail.
The government had pointed out to court the Kozhikode ruling was legally flawed. The High Court directed Civic Chandran to appear in front of investigating officials at the earliest.
The High Court had earlier expunged Kozhikode court’s bizarre grounds for Chandran's bail that the de facto victim had worn provocative dress at the time when the incident occurred.
