The version of a person who was accused of a crime must be heard before convicting him, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday ruled.
The ruling came on a petition filed by Aymanam native Ranjith Panakkal, who contended that he had been convicted under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code without being heard in a Central Bureau of Investigation case relating to the alleged acceptance of commission for forging of documents to avail loan by students wanting to pursue overseas education.
