HC dismissed Swapna Suresh’s plea to quash FIR; probe in the initial phase, says court

Kochi: The High Court today dismissed the plea submitted by Swapna Suresh, requesting to quash the conspiracy case against her. The court took the decision considering the State Government’s argument that the enquiry is in the initial stage in the two pleas submitted by Swapna and hence, not to dismiss FIR. The bench of Justice Siyad Rahman A A dismissed the plea.

As per the order of the court, the enquiry is underway on the conspiracy case registered by the cantonment police under Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) and the case filed by Kasaba police under Section 153, for wantonly giving provocation with an intent to cause riots. But as the anticipatory bail secured, Swapna’s arrest will not be possible for the time being.
