Kerala High Court questioned the need for filing habeas corpus in Jesna disappearance case while considering the plea filed for the same by Jesna’s father James Joseph and P.C.George’s son and political leader Shawn George. The court asked whether Jesna’s disappearance could be classified as a case of illegal detention as it is the circumstance under which a habeas corpus writ can be filed.
HC asked the complainants to approach the right forum if the investigation was not satisfactory. The need of the hour was to beef up the investigation, reminded the court. The verdict on the plea will be declared tomorrow by the Kerala High Court.
