THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A District Court here has stayed a local Court order, directing police to search the residences of home minister KodieyeriBalakrishnan and DGP Jacob Punnose to ascertain if they were possessed intelligence reports on clashes and police firing at Cheriyathura near here, leading to the death of six persons on May 17.

District Judge K Ramakrishnan passed the order yesterday on a petition by ADGP (Intelligence) Sibi Mathew, challenging the order of First Class Judicial Magistrate on June 26.

The lower court, on a private complaint filed by one Nagaraj, had directed police to search and recover the reports filed by Intelligence and Special Branch on the possibility of clashes in the area, as contended by the petitioner.

Sibi Mathew contended that the private complaint was filed with an intention to tarnish the image of the Home Minister and DGP.

He also sought prosecution of Nagarajan under provisions of IPC 'for submitting wrong information to the court.'

The Court posted the case for further hearing to July 27. The clash between two sections of people in Cheriyathura coastal area was sparked off over extortion of money from a restaurant.

The police fired on a violent group which allegedly refused to disperse, leading to the death of six persons belonging to a particular community.
