Court to take up Dileep’s petition against WCC members todayThe trial in the actor rape case, which was put on hold after the prosecution seeking time to move the Kerala High court for a change of court, may resume on Tuesday. A few members of the WCC had made social media statements against some actors, whom the WCC members claimed to have turned hostile during the trial. The prosecution case is that the accused kidnapped the actor and raped her in a moving car. The Registry of the Kerala High Court has not interfered in the issue as it has not officially received the petition. The trial court cannot afford to idle its time away as the Supreme Court had set a deadline for completing the trial, sources said.
