A Bench headed by Justices B N Agrawal and G S Singhvi declined to interfere with the Kerala High Court judgment upholding the trial court verdict in the case.
The accused in the case included the former mayors of the Kozhikode Corporation T P Dasan and O Rajagopal. Aravindakshan, driver of the IUML general secretary P K Kunhalikutty, was also an accused in the case. The scandal had rocked the state in 1996 with the prosecution alleging that one Sreedevi was running a brothel from an ice-cream parlour.
It was alleged that the woman supplied girls to various influential people, including politicians.
