Daughter appears for father in court, HC grants parole to ripper Jayanandhan for her wedding

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court has granted parole to notorious criminal ripper Jayanandhan lodged in Viyyur Jail in Thrissur in high security prison, to attend his daughter’s wedding. The court granted him parole on the plea of his wife seeking permission to attend his daughter’s wedding. His daughter Keerthy Jayanandhan, an advocate, appeared for her father in the court. The court granted parole to attend Keerthy’s wedding.

The plea demanded 15 days parole to attend his daughter’s wedding. However, the government strongly opposed the parole. Keerthy convinced the court to consider her argument as a daughter and not as a lawyer. Her wedding is on March 22. The plea requested 15 days parole but the court granted only two days.

Jayanandhan is permitted to visit his house on March 21, 2023 from 9 am till 5 pm and return back to the prison on the same day. He can then attend the wedding on March 22 again from 9 am to 5 pm. The ripper is serving three life sentences at the Central Jail in Viyyur.
