Sister Abhaya Murder Case: Kerala High Court Issues Notice To CBI


The Kerala High court on Tuesday admitted the appeal filed by Fr Thomas Kottoor, one of the the accused in the murder case of Sister Abhaya and issued notice to the CBI.

The notice to the CBI was served by the division bench of the Kerala High Court comprising Justices K Vinod Chandran and M R Anitha.

In the appeal Fr Kottoor challenged that the trial court had not quoted the actual evidences in the judgement and pleaded that the verdict is based on the "unconnected story circumstances culled out from unreliable solitary witnesses".

The appeal also says that the trial and conviction of the two as criminals by the CBI court are vitiated by serious illegalities and irregularities.

Ever since the blundersome judgement of the Thiruvananthapuram CBI court on 23rd December 2020, accusing Father Thomas Kottur and Sister Sefy as the culprits and sentencing them to life imprisonment, there is wide outcry and criticisms from the public including judges, legal experts, lawyers, surgeons, journalists etc about the grave illegalities and irregularities in the quick and fast verdict.

As the Honorable High court has accepted the appeal of Fr Thomas Kottoor for a retrial, all the people who have faith in the judiciary are very happy and are hopful that Sr Abhaya death case verdict by the the CBI judge will be quashed and the wrongly sentenced will be released free!

"Truth alone will triumph".
