# Kerala HC refuses to cancel bail for ED attack accused but adds Rs 10,000 condition 2026-08-13T11:50:29+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Kerala High Court on Thursday refused to cancel the bail granted to Harishkumar, the ninth accused in the attack on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials after a raid at the residence of Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan on May 27. Justice C.S. Dias noted that other accused in the case had already been granted regular bail by the High Court, and found no need to interfere with the Sessions Court's order. However, the court imposed an additional condition: Harishkumar must deposit Rs 10,000 before the jurisdictional magistrate within a week. The State had moved to cancel his bail, but the court disposed of the plea while keeping all other conditions intact. A connected petition by the ED officer who is the de facto complainant was also disposed of. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: Bail, ED attack, Harishkumar, Kerala High Court, Pinarayi Vijayan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kerala-hc-refuses-to-cancel-bail-for-ed-attack-accused-but-adds-rs-10000-condition/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
