The Kerala High Court on Wednesday extended till August 3 its order exempting Cardinal George Alencherry, Major Archbishop, Syro-Malabar Church, from appearing in person before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court at Kakkanad in Ernakulam in a case relating to the alleged illegal sale of the church land.
The court passed the order on a petition filed by the archbishop seeking to exempt him from personal appearance.
The allegation was that the petitioner and the other accused had sold property belonging to the archdioceses at a price lower than the one fixed by the authorities and thereby misappropriated the amount received by the sale of properties.
