P C George’s petitions in HC today; plea against cancellation of bail to be considered in morning

KOCHI: In the controversial cases of the Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan and the hate speech at Vennala Temple, P C George will face a crucial day in the high court on Friday. The court will consider three petitions on Friday. P C George’s plea against the cancellation of bail in the Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan case will be considered first in the morning.

P C George’s first plea states that the magistrate’s decision to cancel his bail was not legal. The plea will be considered by Justice Ziyad Rahman’s bench at 10:15 am. The court will consider his bail plea in the Thiruvananthapuram case and the anticipatory bail plea in the Vennala case by afternoon.

P C George, who was arrested and remanded in the hate speech cases on Wednesday, is currently in Poojappura Central Jail. He was shifted to the Central jail from the district jail on account of his health issues.

The Thiruvananthapuram first class magistrate court had remanded George for 14 days in the Ananthapuri hate speech case.
