Thiruvananthapuram : Non bailable arrest warrant and warrant to seize against CPM leader and MLA T V Rajesh. Thiruvananthapuram Judicial First Class Magistrate Court announced the decree against MLA. Museum police is not willing to arrest Rajesh, who is residing at the MLA hostel. T V Rajesh continues his routine, without any trouble including his participation in Assembly sessions, with a valid arrest warrant against him.
Majistrate G S Midhun Gopi ordered Museum Circle Inspector to arrest and produce the accused, within 23rd March before the Court. The Court has also directed the Village Officer to seize the movable and immovable assets of Rajesh. The incident happened in the year 2012. CPM Leader T V Rajesh MLA , P Biju, K S Sunil Kumar and SP Deepak are the accused in the case. As per the case filed CPM leader and activists,
unjustly formed in group at Museum junction and halted pedestrians and vehicles causing traffic jam ,and the gang damage public property. Museum police on the very same day charged a case in the police station with crime number 1260/2012. Charge sheet was submitted on the case after completing investigation in the year 2014.
The charge sheet was filed under section 3 (2) (C) of 1984 Public Property Damage Prevention Act and under sections 143, 147 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code.
The Court accepted the case file on 3rd February 2014 and ordered to produce the accused in the Court. Following the failure to produce the MLAs before the Court, arrest warrant was issued against the criminals. However Museum SI in fear of the CPM MLA always reverted to the Court’s arrest warrant with reports portraying false reasons like ‘could not met the accused’ ‘accused is hiding’ ‘residence of the accused remains locked’ and ‘neighbours claim that the accused no longer lives here’.
Museum CI and the police are afraid to arrest T V Rajesh who lives at residence of legislators, at Neyyar block 7 D. The inactivity and negligence of the Museum police have been evident to the Court, which is why the Court moved to critical actions in the case. The Speaker of the Assembly was never notified by the CI about the arrest warrant issued against MLA. Veiling the warrant MLA attends to the Assembly sessions. The police needs the Speaker’s permission only for arrest during the assembly.
Earlier warrants against Kadakampally Surendran was reverted to the Court in the same way, Thiruvananthapuram Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court had declared Kadakampally as the most wanted criminal. Following which Kadakampally surrendered at the Court, apologized and sought bail.
