Kerala High Court today refused to entertain
the anticipatory bail petition filed by CPI (M) Kannur district secretary P.
Jayarajan in Kathiroor Manoj murder case. The court also allowed the CBI plea
for maintaining charges against Jayarajan under UAPA.
Earlier
the district sessions court in Thalasseri had dismissed Jayarajan’s bail plea
three times. The high court observed that the death of one person or many
persons does not differentiate the ground to impose the law under unlawful
activities prevention act.
The question before the court is whether the act of crime amounts to terrorism or not. Use of country made bombs or factory made bombs is the same before the law. The terrorist activity and the role of Jayarajan behind the incident is evident from the case diary.
When Jayarajan approached the Thalasseri court for bail two times CBI took a stand that he was not included as an accused till date and hence the bail plea was premature. The third time when Jayarajan approached the sessions court for anticipatory bail CBI informed the court that he was a suspect.
When the Thalasseri sessions court denied the bail plea on CBI’s strong opposition Jayarajan decided to move the high court. On hearing the CBI had told the High Court that Jayarajan was the mastermind and main linking behind the murder of Kathiroor Manoj.
CBI officials, in a counter affidavit in the Kathiroor murder case submitted to the Court on Wednesday, said the agency had received all proof regarding this. CBI pleaded to the court against granting bail to Jayarajan, adding that his arrest is inevitable.The CBI told the court that P Jayarajan is involved not only in the murder of Manoj, but several other cruel criminal acts. Jayarajan is trying to put CBI under pressure using the party’s influence.Jayarajan was listed on January 21 as an accused in the murder of the RSS activist in 2014. CBI framed charges against him under UAPA.
CPI (M) state leadership maintained that the case was politically motivated and was part of a conspiracy hatched by RSS and Congress in the state. Jayarajan was admitted to a hospital soon after his bail plea was rejected on January 19, and continues to remain in the hospital in Pariyaram.Manoj (42), a district functionary of RSS, was hacked to death in politically-volatile Kathiroor in Kannur district on September 1, 2014 allegedly by a group of CPI-M workers.
The CBI, which took over the probe in the case, had filed a charge sheet against 19 accused in the Thalassery court in March last year. Manoj was an accused in a case related to an unsuccessful attempt on Jayarajan’s life in 1999.

കതിരൂര്‍ മനോജ്‌ വധക്കേസില്‍ സിപിഎം ജില്ലാ സെക്രട്ടറി പി.ജയരാജന്റെ മുന്‍കൂര്‍ ജാമ്യാപേക്ഷ ഹൈക്കോടതി തള്ളി. ജയരാജനെതിരായ യു.എ.പി.എ നിലനില്‍ക്കുമെന്നും നിയമം എല്ലാവര്‍ക്കും ഒരുപോലെയാണെന്നും പ്രതിയുടെ പദവി പ്രശ്‌നമല്ലെന്നും കോടതി വ്യക്‌തമാക്കി. ജയരാജന്‍ ഒഴികെ മറ്റാര്‍ക്കും കൊല്ലപ്പെട്ട മനോജിനോട്‌ വ്യക്‌തിവൈരാഗ്യം ഇല്ലായിരുന്നുവെന്നും യു.എ.പി.എ ചുമത്താന്‍ പ്രഥമദൃഷ്‌ട്യാ തെളിവുണ്ടെന്നും കോടതി ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടി.
കേസിലെ മുഖ്യപ്രതിയായ വിക്രമന്‍ ജയരാജന്റെ ഉറ്റ സഹായിയാണ്‌. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ മനോജിനെ കൊലപ്പെട്ടതിന്റെ മുഖ്യ ആസൂത്രകനും ബുദ്ധികേന്ദ്രവും പ്രധാനകണ്ണിയും പി.ജയരാജനാണെന്നും സിബിഐ കോടതിയെ അറിയിച്ചിരുന്നു. മരണം ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്നതു വരെ മനോജിനെ കുത്തിയെന്നും കൊലപാതകം തികച്ചും ആസൂത്രിതമായിരുന്നുവെന്നും കോടതി നിരീക്ഷിച്ചു.
അതേസമയം, ജയരാജന്‍ വികലാംഗനാണെന്നും ഏതാനും നാളുകള്‍ക്ക്‌ മുന്‍പ്‌ അദ്ദേഹത്തെ ശസ്‌ത്രക്രിയയ്‌ക്ക് വിധേയനാക്കിയിരുന്നുവെന്നും അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ആരോഗ്യസ്‌ഥിതി പരിഗണിക്കണമെന്നും
ജയരാജന്റെ അഭിഭാഷകന്‍ വാദിച്ചുവെങ്കിലും ഇതൊന്നും അംഗീകരിക്കാനാകില്ലെന്ന്‌ കോടതി വ്യക്‌തമാക്കി. ബോംബ്‌ നാടനായാലും അല്ലെങ്കിലും ചെറുതായാലും വലുതായാലും ബോംബിന്റെ പ്രവര്‍ത്തനം ഒന്നാണെന്നും അതുകൊണ്ട്‌ ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന നാശനഷ്‌ടം വലുതാണോ ചെറുതാണോ എന്ന്‌ വിലയിരുത്തേണ്ടതില്ലെന്നും കോടതി നിരീക്ഷിച്ചു.
Prof. John Kurakar
