Kochi: The High Court ordered to take further action against businessman Biju Ramesh for producing edited audio clips as evidence in the court in connection with the bar bribery case. The court quashed the Magistrate Court order that no action can be taken against Biju Ramesh for producing fake documents.
A CD which Biju Ramesh produced before the Vigilance had led to controversies. Earlier, Biju Ramesh had produced the voice recordings which was recorded during the meeting of bar owners. The CD was produced when Biju Ramesh’s confidential statement was being recorded. Later, the Vigilance examined the CD and found it to be edited.
Thiruvananthapuram native Sreejith approached the Magistrate Court against Biju Ramesh pointing out he produced fake evidence in the court. This was soon after Biju made some revelations regarding the bar bribery case. However, the court rejected his petition in November last year stating no legal action in this regard is possible.
With this, Sreejith approached the high court and a favourable verdict was pronounced. The high court stated that legal action can be taken against Biju Ramesh if he produced fake evidence. Sreejith filed the petition as per IPC section 93.
The state government had initiated vigilance probe based on the revelation of Biju Ramesh against Ramesh Chennithala. It was then the high court gave nod to taking legal action against Biju Ramesh and this makes the matter politically relevant.
