The accident took place late night on October 25 in Cheranallur area of Kochi. The judge’s 17-year-old son was driving the Mercedes.
The Kerala High Court has granted anticipatory bail to the judge father of the minor accused in the Mercedes-Benz road accident. Additional Sessions Judge Kavita Gangadharan on Thursday rejected the petition filed by the victim’s family.
The court said that no evidence was found that the accused is not cooperating in the investigation. His father Judge is a judicial officer and has cooperated in the investigation. It is not necessary to take them into custody and interrogate them.
On the decision of the High Court, the victim’s daughter Bhadrakirti said while talking to a news channel – This decision is like stabbing a knife in my chest. The family hoped that we would get some justice, but it did not happen.
The accident took place late night on October 25 in Cheranallur area of Kochi. The judge’s minor son, while driving a Mercedes at high speed, hit 55-year-old Jayabalakrishnan from behind who was riding a scooter. He died in the accident.
The judge had taken the father of the minor accused to the police camp in Ernakulam for questioning on Thursday (29 October).
Minor’s father made judge an accused
The Mercedes with which the minor accused hit the scooter was registered in the name of his judge father. Due to this, on the instructions of the Kerala High Court, the police registered a case against the judge under Section 199A of the Motor Vehicle Act and made him an accused in the case.
The judge had said in the High Court that I did not know that the son had left the house with a car. I went to sleep at 1:28 pm. I got information about the accident over the phone at 2:14 pm.
