Kochi: The Kerala High Court has deferred the consideration of the bail plea filed by former Travancore Devaswom Board President M. Padmakumar in the Sabarimala gold theft case. The court observed that the case is of a serious nature.
Justice Badruddin heard the plea. Padmakumar has filed the bail application in one of the two cases registered against him. Earlier, the Vigilance Court had rejected his bail plea, prompting him to approach the High Court.
The court stated that the matter requires detailed arguments and cannot be decided immediately. The plea has been admitted, and the court indicated that it will be considered after the Christmas vacation.
