KASARGOD: High court will consider on Wednesday, MLA M C Kamaruddin’s plea seeking to cancel the cheating cases against him. The MLA in his plea has said that the financial transaction is only a civil case and the cheating cases against him will not legally stand.

Earlier, the state government has informed the court that the cheating cases against Kamaruddin cannot be cancelled as cancellation of the case might lead to sabotaging the whole investigation itself. The state government in its plea filed before the high court also said that many have lost their money in the jewellery scam and Kamaruddin who served as the director of the Jewellery is as guilty as other accused in the case. However, the MLA has alleged that political rivalry is the sole reason for the cases against him.
