Ivory possession case: Mohanlal approaches High Court, demands that lower court order rejecting petition to withdraw case should be quashed

KOCHI: Actor Mohanlal has approached the High Court seeking the cancellation of the lower court order in the ivory possession case. Mohanlal has filed a petition seeking the cancellation of the Perumbavoor Magistrate Court's order rejecting the government's plea to withdraw the case.

In his petition, Mohanlal stated that the Magistrate court did not examine the facts and the legal side. The petition stated that the government applied to withdraw the case because there was no evidence against him. The income tax department had seized 4 ivory tusks from Mohanlal's house in 2012.
