KOCHI: The Kerala High Court has directed the state government to take a decision within three months on granting permission to publish a book authored by Roopesh, who has been jailed in multiple Maoist-related cases.
The bench of Justice VG Arun last week considered the petition filed by Roopesh, who was convicted under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and incarcerated for the past several years.
Roopesh wrote a book titled ‘Bandhitharude Ormakurippukal’ (Memoirs of the Incarcerated) while in jail and applied to the Superintendent of the Prison for permission to publish, along with the manuscript.
