The Kerala High Court today directed police not to arrest a lawyer till October 23 connection with the recent killing of a real estate dealer after prosecution informed he has been arraigned as an accused in the case.
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.
