A division bench of Kerala High Court on Tuesday declined to stay a single bench's order upholding the Centre's decision to invoke provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act) against senior CPI(M) leader P Jayarajan and five other accused in the murder of RSS functionary Kathiroor Manoj.

Bench of Chief Justice S Mkumar dismissed the petition filed by the accused against the single bench's order of 2017. There are 25 accused in the case and P Jayarajan is the 25th one.

The 42-year old Manoj, an RSS district functionary, was hacked to death in Kathiroor in Kannur district on September 1, 2014, allegedly by a group of CPIM workers.
