The prayer of the intervening petitioner (the maid) that the witnesses could be tampered owing to the influence of the accused should also be considered.

Regarding the Vakkalathu signature, the judges said that it was proved that the signature in the Vakkalathu papers was forged and directed the police should investigate the case. The judges also directed the Registrar (Judicial) to lodge a complaint against Sasikala Pushpa at K.Pudhur Police station.
