Justice P Ubaid passed the interim order when the anticipatory bail petition filed by leading criminal lawyer C P Udayabhanu came up for hearing.
The prosecution informed the judge that the lawyer has been named as the seventh accused in the case and handed over evidence against him in a sealed cover.
It further claimed the petitioner had links with 46-year- old real estate dealer Rajeev, who was found dead in a deserted building at Chalakudy in Thrissur district last month.
The judge also directed police to issue notice to Udayabhanu if needed for interrogation.
