No conflict of interest in Kerala Assembly ruckus case, argue defence counsels

‘Prosecutor is an agency independent of the government and is supposed to do justice to the case and the court’

As the debate over conflict of interest in the Assembly ruckus case rages, counsels for the accused argued that no such questions were involved in the case. While considering the discharge petition, the prosecutor can argue that there is either deficiency of evidence and the accused may be discharged or ample evidence is available to prosecute them. The prosecutor is an agency independent of the government, who is supposed to do justice to the case and the court and hence no question of conflict of interest, said lawyers of Rajagopal and Associates, the firm which represented the LDF leaders.
