Kochi: The Kerala High
Court Monday ordered a charge sheet to be filed against Communist
Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader M.V. Jayarajan by June 8 for
his public outburst against the judiciary.
Jayarajan, who is facing contempt of court charge on the issue,
told reporters after the court hearing that he has been denied
natural justice.
"The court today (Monday) after looking into the evidences of my
speech, did not bother to give us the copy of that. This is a
clear case of denying me natural justice. Moreover, I stand by
what I said because the ruling of the court that prevents assembly
of people on roads is not a correct judgment in a democracy," said Jayarajan.
The charge sheet would now be given to him next month following a
public interest litigation against his remarks against judges in
July last year.
Jayarajan, at a public meeting, made unparliamentary remarks
against the judges after a high court ruling banned roadside
meetings by political parties.
A three-member bench comprising Chief Justice J. Chelameswar,
Justice A.K. Basheer and Justice K.M. Joseph ordered contempt
proceedings against the CPI-M leader from Kannur.
Jayarajan, 50, is a two-time legislator and member of the party's
state committee.
