The Kerala High Court has granted anticipatory bail to an Additional Judge in connection with a luxury car crash in Cheranalloor. Justice Kauser Edappagath approved the relief while observing that the judge had demonstrated full cooperation with the investigating authorities throughout the probe.
The judge was interrogated by police for six hours as part of the investigation into the incident involving the minor son, who allegedly drove the high-end vehicle. The court's decision to grant anticipatory bail came after considering the circumstances and the judge's conduct during questioning.
Justice Edappagath's order acknowledged that the judge had maintained transparency and cooperation with the investigation process. The anticipatory bail provision protects the judge from immediate arrest in connection with the case, though it does not constitute an acquittal or absolution from the charges.
The case relates to the Cheranalloor traffic incident that had drawn significant public attention. The granting of anticipatory bail is expected to allow the judge to approach the court in case of any further developments in the investigation without fear of immediate arrest.
