Kerala High Court Reduces Externment Period
The Kerala High Court recently reduced the time a person from Thrissur had to stay away from their area from one year to six months.
The court said that orders like this are very important because they affect a person's rights.
The court noticed that the original order did not give any reasons for making the person stay away for the maximum time allowed.
The judges said that such orders should always explain why they are making someone stay away for so long.
