Actor Unni Mukundan Gets Relief In Sexual Harassment Case; High Court Stays Further Proceedings

Unni Mukundan Gets Relief In Sexual Harassment Case: In a recent development, actor Unni Mukundan has received relief in the case of sexual harassment against him.

Unni Mukundan approached the Kerala High Court with a petition to stay the further proceedings and dismiss the case, stating that a settlement had been reached with the complainant. The court has granted a stay on the proceedings as per the actor's request.

The Kerala High Court had previously ordered the continuation of the trial in the sexual harassment complaint lodged against Unni Mukundan on May 23. The actor's plea to stay the trial was rejected by the court. Initially, Unni Mukundan's lawyer claimed that a settlement had been reached, but the complainant later refuted this claim.

The single bench of the High Court ruled that the trial proceedings should continue, emphasising that there was no need to quash the case. The complainant has expressed her unwillingness to settle the matter, leading the court to lift the stay on the trial proceedings and allow them to progress.

Allegations Of Molestation, Defamation, And Threats

According to the woman from Kottayam, Unni Mukundan allegedly attempted to molest her when she visited his flat after being invited to discuss a film project. The complainant also alleged that the actor subsequently engaged in defamation and made threats against her. The trial will now proceed as directed by the court.
