Sessions judge Honey M Varghese permitted Suni to visit his house at Perumbavoor between 8am and 4pm on Friday.
Sunil NS alias Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the 2017 Kerala actress assault case in which Malayalam cine actor Dileep is also an accused, moved the Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking bail.
Suni has been in judicial custody for almost 6 years in relation to the case where a prominent female actor was abducted, driven around in a car, photographed, and sexually assaulted, allegedly at actor Dileep’s behest.
Justice PV Kunhikrishnan remarked that even if Suni has spent six years behind bars while under trial, bail can only be granted after considering the gravity of the offences alleged to have been committed by him.
While issuing the order, Justice K Babu observed that permitting the accused in a case to directly witness the trial against him is a factor that goes towards ensuring a fair trial.
