There were security latches in High Court earlier. Where were these security personals when this man was standing with placard and oil? The security personnel should have removed him earlier before such incident. I'm requesting to increase the protection of Hon'ble High Court of Kerala by deploying central armed forces," Jose stated in his letter..Advocate Jose adds that the security at the Kerala High Court is weak when compared to other High Courts in the country. He has stated that he would approach the Supreme Court in the matter, if no positive action is taken on his representation. .[Read Representation]
