KOCHI: The Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Court has rejected the case relating to the land dealings of the Syro-Malabar diocese against Cardinal Mar George Alancherry stating that there are not enough evidences against him to take a case.

Earlier Catholic Association for Justice president advocate Polachhan Puthupara had approached the court to take a criminal case against Father Alancherry. Though the court send notice to those priests included by the petitioner as witnesses, none of them appeared at the court today, following which the court informed that it is rejecting the petition.

The petition was against Father Alancherry, Father Joshy Pothuva, and Monsignor Sebastian Vadakkupaadam. Polachhan had earlier approached the Central CI with the same petition.
