The Supreme Court has upheld the anticipatory bail granted by the Kerala High Court to Rahul Mamkootathil in one of the three rape cases registered against him.

A bench comprising of Justices MM Sundresh and NK Singh dismissed the appeal filed by the complainant challenging the High Court’s order, thereby affirming the relief granted to the MLA.

The Kerala High Court had earlier granted anticipatory bail to Mamkootathil, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case. The complainant subsequently approached the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of the relief.
