The Kerala High Court is set to hear the bail application moved by the CM's former Principal Secretary, M. Sivasankar, who had been arrested by ED in connection with money laundering related to the LIFE Mission case #KeralaHC#MoneyLaundering#LIFEMissionCase
A Special PMLA Court at Kochi had rejected Sivasankar's bail application on March 2 and extended his custody till March 21. Sivasankar had moved the plea seeking bail on medical grounds. He had alleged the arrest as a 'political stunt'. #KeralaHC#LIFEMissionCase#MoneyLaundering
He had further claimed that there was no direct allegation against him.
A Single Judge Bench of Justice Kauser Edappagath had, on March 10, 2023, directed the case to be posted for the appropriate Bench, since the matter involved Prevention of Money Laundering Act. #KeralaHC#MoneyLaundering#LIFEMissionCase
Court dictates order: Both sides pray that matter requires detailed hearing. Therefore, post this matter on 23rd March 2023. #KeralaHC#MoneyLaundering#LIFEMissionCase

In all three cases, the prosecution presented two policemen, Head Constable Hari Babu and Constable Vipin Kumar as primary witnesses for identification of the accused.
In both FIRs resulting in acquittal, HC Hari Babu failed to identify the accused before court taking the plea of lapse of time & memory loss. The court then acquitted all of them observing that sole testimony of constable cannot be sufficient to assume their presence in the mob.
Sr Adv Sibal: Thank you so much. When I was a young lawyer, the kind of dialogue that used to go on in Justice Bhagwati or Justice Chandrachud's court was impressive.
