Wed Feb 19 03:36:08 UTC 2025: ## Kerala High Court to Hear Contempt Case Against Congress Leader
**Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala – February 19, 2025** – The Kerala High Court will hear a contempt of court case on March 3 against Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala and several UDF MLAs. The petition, filed by N. Prakash of Maradu, alleges the politicians addressed striking Asha workers who blocked a footpath and road near the Secretariat. The petitioner argues this violates a court order prohibiting meetings obstructing public thoroughfares. The court has instructed the respondents to submit affidavits detailing steps taken to prevent future road blockades. This is not the first such petition filed by Prakash; he previously petitioned the court regarding a road blockade during a CPI(M) meeting in 2024.
