Addressing a meet-the-press programme in Kochi on May 12, Communist Party of India (CPI) Kerala State unit secretary Kanam Rajendran said the CPI was opposed to the ways adopted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) but the issues were relevant, reports The Hindu.

Rajendran also cautioned the Government against any attempt to suppress the issues by unleashing combing operations against the activists who were highlighting reality.

The Kerala High Court in a significant ruling on May 22 said ‘‘being a Maoist is of no crime” reports The Hindu. Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque while delivering a judgement said that State pay a compensation of INR 10000 and INR 10,000 as cost to the petitioner Shyam Balakrishnan from Wayanad District in the case. In his judgment Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque further held that in this case, “the facts will clearly indicate that the petitioner was arrested as a suspected Maoist. At the relevant time, the police had no clue about the offence committed by the petitioner. The only reason on which the petitioner was arrested was that he was a suspected Maoist. No doubt, the police, on realising the mistake, released the petitioner without registering a case.” The judgment pointed out that in this case “police violated the liberty of the petitioner by taking him into custody without satisfying that the petitioner was involved in any cognisable offence punishable under law.”The Court further said “if the Maoist organisation is a proscribed organisation under the law, activities of the Maoist organisation can be interfered. If the individual or organisation abhors and resorts to physical violence, the law agency can prevent or take action against the individual or organisation.” ‘‘The police version that the petitioner was rescued from the agitated mob cannot be believed. The General Diary and other action on the part of the police in searching the house of the petitioner will clearly indicate that the petitioner was taken into custody as a suspected Maoist,” the judgment said.
