The Kerala High Court on Wednesday allowed Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the 2017 actress assault case, to be physically present in the trial court to witness the proceedings in his trial.
The court directed the state prosecution to ensure that the same is done.
Justice K. Babu observed that permitting the accused in a case to directly witness the trial against him, is to ensure a fair trial.
Suni has been in judicial custody for around six years in connection with the case when a prominent female actor was allegedly abducted, driven around in a car, photographed and sexually assaulted on the instructions of Malayalam actor Dileep, who is also an accused and presently out on bail.
