The victim -- an actor who worked in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films -- was abducted and allegedly molested inside her car for two hours by some of the accused, who had forced their way into the vehicle on the night of February 17, 2017.
The Kerala High Court on Tuesday sought the response of all the accused, including actor Dileep, on the state government's appeals against a trial court's orders, declining its pleas to summon several more witnesses and get certified copies of the call detail records of the accused in the actor sexual assault case of 2017.
Justice Viju Abraham issued notice to all the accused in the case, seeking their stand on the prosecution's two separate petitions and listed the matters for further hearing on January 6, 2022.
The prosecution, in one of the petitions, has sought original customer applications in respect of 25 mobile numbers, including that of Dileep, as well as proper certificates, in accordance with Section 65 (B) of the Evidence Act, for the call detail records of eight numbers, which too includes that of the actor.
The fresh certificates have been sought as the earlier ones "did not furnish the entire details", the petition has said.
