To: The Honorable Chief Minister of Kerala The 139 accused in the marad case is jailed for more than four and half years even without bail. They include patients with heart problems, brain tumour, mental disorders, deaf and dumb and those with old age disabilities. Police arrested and remanded even those who were attending their prayers in the nearby Masjid. Simultaneously those accused in the first marad case are moving around freely without even a trial which blatantly violates the principle of equality before law and the principle of considering an accused innocent till he is sentenced. Also the case of Abdul Nasar Ma'adani, still could not awake us on the illegal denial of bail and he had suffered long nine years in Coimbatore jail without bail before being acquitted after trail. Remember, granting of bail is part of justice and justice delayed is justice denied. Hence we appeal to you all, to join us to raise this serious issue of denial of human rightsl to those accused in Marad case and to grant them bail immediately and thus upholding the great principle of considering the accused as innocent, till sentenced. Sincerely, -- 'Trust in God, but tie your camel first' - The Holy Prophet (pbuh) 'Knowledge is better than wealth, you have to look after your wealth, knowledge looks after you' - Imam Ali *** (O Controller of the hearts make my heart steadfast in Your religion).'' [At-Tirmidhi].
