Kerala High Court Stays Trial in 2018 Shuhaib Murder Case Until June 15
The Kerala High Court has stayed trial proceedings until June 15 in the 2018 murder case of Youth Congress leader S.P. Shuhaib, following a petition by three accused seeking transfer of the trial from the Additional Sessions Court, Thalassery. The trial court had dismissed this transfer request and canceled the accused's bail, which the High Court later restored. The court has asked the prosecution to respond by the next hearing. Shuhaib was allegedly killed by CPI(M) sympathisers in Mattannur.
