Kochi : The High Court on Monday issued notice to Civic Chandran over victim’s appeal in connection with sexual assault case against him. The Koilandy police registered the notice in their records. The victim challenged bail the lower court granted to Civic Chandran. The appeal shall be heard next month.
Backdrop : The lower court had applied bizarre logic to the molestation case for granting the culprit bail – one that blamed the victim, a woman writer, for wearing ‘provocative’ dress at the time of assault. Civic Chandran had assaulted the woman on the beach in a deserted spot and submitted pictures of her attire to buy leniency for his guilt.
