The political career of six prominent LDF leaders including State Minister V. Sivankutty hangs precariously on the outcome of the discharge petition to be considered by the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court, Thiruvananthapuram, shortly. The magistrate, while considering the discharge petitions seeking to absolve them from the criminal case booked in connection with the State Assembly ruckus, will ascertain whether there are enough materials on record to frame the charges against them. It was the not to allow withdrawal of prosecution that put the ball back in the CJM court. While considering the discharge petition, the CJM will examine the materials collected by the investigation officers and also the statements of the witnesses in the case. If a strong case is made out against the accused, the court will frame charges and the accused will have to face the trial.More Related News
