New Delhi: Bishop Franco Mulakkal, accused in the Kerala nun rape case, has approached the apex court. Mulakkal has requested the court that the charges against him be dropped. On the other hand, the Kerala government and the aggrieved nuns, while filing a cavity in the Supreme Court, have said that their decision must be heard before giving any verdict. The next hearing in this case will be held on August 5.
