Kerala HC allows Ripper Jayanandan to attend daughters wedding
cancel

Kochi: In Kerala High Court, the lawyer daughter of a dreaded criminal appeared as her mother's counsel to plead parole for her jailed husband to attend her daughter's wedding. The court, hearing the parole plea of the notorious 'Ripper' Jayanandan, granted him permission to attend the wedding.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas gave the orders after hearing the petition of Indira, whose counsel was her daughter Keerthi Jayanandan.

Though the petitioner sought 15 days parole, the court ruled out that but took a compassionate approach when counsel said she was not asking this as a lawyer but as a daughter seeking the presence of her father for her wedding.

Going through the points of fundamental rights and previous rulings, the judge said even though Jayanandan's previous record is not good as he tries to escape at every given a chance, taking into account the basic rights, he can attend the wedding of his daughter.

The court then said the convict could reach his house in Thrissur on March 21 and could be there from 9 am till 5 pm, after which he will have to return to the prison.

On the day of the wedding at Thrissur, on March 22, he can be present there from 9 am to 5 pm, after which he will return to the prison.

The court also ruled that the accompanying police and security personnel should be in plain clothes and shall not interfere with the functions related to the wedding unless circumstances warrant.

It also asked the petitioner and one of her daughters to file an affidavit before the Thrissur Sessions Court that they undertake to ensure his return to the jail as directed.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas is the son of former Supreme Court judge KT Thomas.

'Ripper' Jayanandan, 56, who was accused in seven murder cases, was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in one case, while in another murder case, he was given a death sentence, but the High Court commuted it to life imprisonment on his appeal.

He fled once from the Trivandrum Central Jail in June 2013, but in September 2013, he was caught, and before that also, he was caught after escaping from the Kannur Jail.
