Kerala High Court Stays Bail Cancellation of Accused in Shuhaib Murder Case

Kerala High Court Stays Bail Cancellation of Accused in Shuhaib Murder CasePreviousNext

The Thalassery Additional District Court-III cancelled the bail of 17 accused, including Akash Thillankery, in the 2018 murder case of Youth Congress worker S.P. Shuhaib, citing defence attempts to delay the trial. The defence had refused to cross-examine witnesses pending a High Court appeal. However, the Kerala High Court later stayed the trial court's bail cancellation order, deeming it apparently illegal and setting it aside while hearing the appeal.
