HC moved seeking APPs at Attappady, Mannarkkad courts

Victims Information, Sensitisation, Welfare and Assistance Society (VISWAS), a voluntary organisation working for the welfare of the victims of crimes and excesses, has demanded that the government appoint assistant public prosecutors (APPs) to the magistrate courts at Mannarkkad and Attappady.

VISWAS India secretary general P. Premnath said here on Thursday that the Mannarkkad and Attappady courts were currently facing vacancies following the transfer of the prosecutors serving there.

In a memorandum submitted to the Kerala High Court and the Home Department, Mr. Premnath pointed out the difficulties caused by the absence of prermanent prosecutors at the two courts and called for urgent intervention to ensure the smooth conduct of criminal cases in Attappady and Mannarkkad.
