The Hindu
She had practised in court for over two years
The police have intensified the search for a 27-year-old woman who practised law in Alappuzha until recently allegedly without proper qualification. On Thursday, Cessy Xavier, 27, of Ramankary in Kuttanad came to the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I in Alappuzha to surrender. However, she left the place soon reportedly after she came to know that the police had slapped a non-bailable section against her. Vinod K.P., Circle Inspector, Alappuzha North police, said they had registered a case against her based on a complaint filed by the Alappuzha Bar Association. The case was registered under Sections 417 (punishment for cheating), 419 (punishment for cheating by personation), and 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code.More Related News
