Thu Jan 23 18:27:07 IST 2025: ## Kerala High Court Adjourns Hearing in Antony Raju Case
**Kochi, January 23, 2025** – The Kerala High Court adjourned until January 28th the hearing on a petition requesting the appointment of a special public prosecutor for the case against MLA and former Transport Minister Antony Raju. The case, pending before the Nedumangad Judicial Magistrate Court, involves allegations of evidence tampering in a 1990 drug smuggling case.
Journalist Anil K. Emmanuel, the petitioner, argues that a special prosecutor is necessary due to the gravity of the allegations and the potential erosion of public trust in the judicial system. He cites previous observations by the High Court and Supreme Court regarding the conduct of Mr. Raju and other accused. The court will reconvene on January 28th to further consider the petition.
