Rape case; High Court upheld the bail of Eldhose Kunnappilly

Kochi: The High Court upheld the lower court order granting bail to Perumbavoor MLA Eldos Kunnappilly in the rape case. The High Court rejected the plea of the government and the complainant seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail. The argument of the government and the complainant was that the lower court granted bail to Eldos Kunnappilly with strict conditions without verifying the facts.
But this was not accepted by the High Court. Justice Kausar Edappagat clarified that the bail can be continued. During the hearing, the High Court had mentioned that Eldos Kunnappilly MLA should check whether the sexual relationship with the complainant was consensual.
