Kerala HC permits BJP councillor R. Sugathan to take oath from Viyyur jail

The Kerala High Court granted permission for BJP councillor R. Sugathan to take his oath from inside Viyyur jail. The decision came after a petition filed by the councillor’s legal team, arguing that the oath could be administered at the jail premises. The ruling does not specify the office for which the oath is being taken, but it confirms that the councillor can perform the formalities while remaining in custody.
