Kerala High Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Judge in Son’s Fatal Car Crash Case
The Kerala High Court granted anticipatory bail to an Additional District and Sessions Judge whose minor son allegedly drove a luxury Mercedes-Benz car that fatally struck a 55-year-old man in Cheranalloor on October 25, 2026. The judge, named as an accused due to vehicle ownership, cooperated with the investigation and was interrogated for several hours. The victim's family has expressed dissatisfaction and plans to challenge the bail order. Meanwhile, courts are reviewing appeals related to bail granted to the juvenile driver and seeking data on similar cases involving juveniles under culpable homicide charges.
