December 3rd, 2009 - 7:30 pm ICT by IANS Tell a Friend -

New Delhi, Dec 3 (IANS) Sister Sephy, an accused in the murder of a nun in Kerala, Thursday approached the Delhi High Court seeking compensation from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly tarnishing her image by leaking the result of a virginity test conducted on her.
The body of Sister Abhaya, a resident of Pius X Hostel, was found in the well of the Kottayam convent in Kerala, March 27, 1992.

The CBI had arrested three people, including Sephy, Nov 19, 2008, but all secured bail Jan 1.

Admitting the petition, the high court posted the matter for Jan 15 to decide on the jurisdiction of the petition.

The charge sheet filed by CBI in July has named Thomas M. Kottor, the Diocesan chancellor of the Catholic Church at Kottayam, Jose Putarika, a former professor at the Kottayam College where Abhaya studied, and Sephy, a resident of the convent at the time of the murder, as the three accused.
