The Hindu
Ernakulam Additional Special Sessions Judge had earlier directed the Investigation Officer to file a report by January 20 on the further investigation being conducted into the revelations of Balachandrakumar, who claims to be Dileep's friend, in the case.
The Kerala High Court on January 17 allowed the prosecution to examine five additional witnesses and re-examine three witnesses in the case relating to sexual assault on a woman actor, in which actor Dileep is an accused.
Justice Kauser Edappagath also directed the State government to see that a new Special Public Prosecutor is appointed or make some other alternative arrangements to conduct the cases and ensure that examination of witnesses and production of documents were done within 10 days.
The court passed the verdict on the appeals filed by the prosecution challenging the orders of the Ernakulam Additional Special Sessions Court rejecting the prosecution’s applications seeking to recall some of the witnesses and summon additional witnesses for examination in the case.
