Kerala High Court Accepts K. Sudhakaran's Apology, Grants Time to Appear in Contempt CasePreviousNext

K. Sudhakaran, MP, tendered an unconditional apology to the Kerala High Court for derogatory remarks he made about the court's Bench that quashed a single judge's order for a CBI probe into Youth Congress leader S.P. Shuhaib's murder. The apology, described as impulsive without malicious intent, was submitted in response to a contempt petition. The court granted him time until July 8 to appear in person, after he missed a scheduled appearance citing illness, stating it would consider the apology only after his personal appearance.
