Zenito Cardozo has faced another legal setback as the High Court dismissed his appeal in the 2009 Siridao beach case, which claimed the lives of two individuals. The court has directed him to surrender before the Sessions Court by November 10.
Zenito was previously convicted for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the same case. The ruling underscores the judiciary’s firm stance on the serious incident that shook the region over a decade ago.

This development comes alongside ongoing proceedings in Merces Special Court, where Zenito’s bail plea is under consideration. The court recently issued a notice to victim Rama Kankonkar, seeking his preference for legal representation, either through the Public Prosecutor or an advocate of his choice. The bail hearing has now been adjourned to October 13.
