On August 29, Xavier had approached the high court seeking anticipatory bail.The petitionor had contested the Alappuzha Bar Association election this year and won as a librarian though she was not a member of the association. Xavier, who hails from Alappuzha district, was accused of forging documents and the corresponding roll number of the Kerala Bar Council submitted to the Alappuzha Bar Council.The State government pleader opposed the bail application of Xavier said in court, "The petitioner had posed herself as an advocate and appeared before several courts.

She did not complete her LLB course because she failed in some subjects. Due to the poor financial condition at home, she could not complete her course. Instead, she joined as a law intern in an advocate's office at Alappuzha.She attended the courts regularly at Ramankary and Alappuzha, wearing a coat without the advocate's gown."Earlier the Alappuzha north police registered an FIR against her based on the complaint of the Secretary, Alappuzha Bar Association. The offences charged against her include offence under section 417 (cheating), 419 (cheating by impersonation) and 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property).
