KOZHIKODE: The Kozhikode Juvenile
Justice Board will resume from January 28 the trial
of the five juveniles charge-sheeted for the killing
of nine fishermen at Marad seaside village on May 2,
2003.The board had temporarily suspended the proceedings
in the trial on June 16 after special prosecutor P.D.
Ravi moved a petition stating that a material object
(sword) was required to proceed further with the trial
and examination of witnesses. During the process of
the trial all materials were in the custody of the Special
Additional District Sessions Court (Marad cases) at
Eranhipalam. The Special Court had last week pronounced
the verdict sentencing 63 guilty in the case relating
to the murder of nine fishermen. The Special Court had
also ordered that the material be transferred to the
Juvenile Justice Board.
