Jiostar challenges halt on web series ‘Anali’ in Kerala High Court
The Story in Brief
JioStar India Pvt Ltd has approached the Kerala High Court challenging an order that halts the release of the Hotstar web series 'Anali', which is allegedly based on the Koodathayi serial murders. The injunction was granted by a Munsiff Court in Ernakulam on a suit filed by Jollyamma Joseph, the prime accused in the murder of six family members, allegedly using cyanide to gain control of family property. Her trial is ongoing before the Additional District Court in Kozhikode.
The Munsiff Court refused to vacate the order, and the Sub Court in Ernakulam dismissed an appeal. Justice Easwaran S posted the matter for hearing on Thursday, 6 November. Senior advocate Santhosh Mathew, appearing for Jiostar, argued that both lower courts erred, noting that Jollyamma's earlier writ petition was dismissed with the direction to pursue statutory remedies.
