Kerala High Court Quashes Assault Case Against Former Congress MLA in 2015 Assembly Incident
The Kerala High Court has quashed criminal proceedings against former Congress MLA A.T. George and other UDF leaders accused of assaulting LDF women legislators during a 2015 Assembly ruckus. The court found insufficient evidence to support charges of wrongful restraint and outraging modesty. The case arose from a chaotic protest against Finance Minister K.M. Mani over corruption allegations. Meanwhile, cases against several former LDF MLAs related to the assembly disruption continue in lower courts.
