No relief for Sarith as court upholds his detention
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Friday quashed the preventive detention of Swapna Suresh, accused in the diplomatic channel gold smuggling case, under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities (COFEPOSA) Act, 1974.
The Bench comprising Justice A.K. Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Mohammed Nias C.P. passed the verdict on a petition filed by Kumari Prabha, mother of Swapna seeking to produce the detenue now in the Women’s Prison and Correctional Home, Attakulangara, Thiruvananthapuram, challenging the preventive detention order.
Despite the High Court verdict, Swapna will continue to remain in jail as she is yet to get bail in the case registered by the NIA against her.
