Non-Supply Of Documents Relied Upon In Detention Order Affects Detenus' Right Under Art.22(5): Kerala High CourtCase Title: Nushath Koyamu v. Union of India & Ors. Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Ker) 259The Court has recently ruled that failure to supply the documents which were relied upon by the detaining authority for arriving at the subjective satisfaction to pass the detention order affects the rights of the detenus under Article 22(5) of the Constitution of India, particularly when they were specifically requested for by them. A Division Bench of Justice A.K Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Mohammed Nias C.P, therefore, quashed the detention order observing that the non-supply of the documents had vitally affected the right of the detenus under Article 22(5).2.

State of Kerala & Ors.Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Ker) 260The Court recently dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by a husband seeking the production of his wife in an interfaith marriage finding that the wife had grave apprehensions about her safety at the petitioner's residence.

State of Kerala & Ors. Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Ker) 261The Court stayed the operation of the recent amendments to the Kerala Education Rules (KER) for one month as an interim relief in a plea that challenged certain provisions of the said amendment. Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan took the prima facie view that the petitioners had made out a good case on merits.4. Amendment With Inconsistent Pleas Without Retracting Wilful Admission In Written Statement Permitted: Kerala High CourtCase Title: Anzar v. Sreedeviyamma & Anr. Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Ker) 262The Court has recently ruled that an amendment application containing inconsistent pleas with that of the original written statement can be submitted without withdrawing wilful admission raised in the statement and that such applications were bound to be admissible. Justice A.
