Ayurveda Doctor Molestation Case: Kerala HC dismisses bail plea of accused
Kerala High Court
Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala High Court has dismissed a criminal writ petition and bail application related to the alleged assault and molestation of a Ayurvedic doctor at her clinic. The petition sought to transfer the investigation to a higher-ranking officer, while the bail application requested anticipatory bail for the accused.
Due to the serious nature of the allegations, the court emphasized the need for custodial interrogation, stating it is essential for a thorough and unbiased investigation. The High Court highlighted the importance of the accused’s arrest to effectively gather and corroborate evidence, given the significant accusations involved.
While considering the bail plea, the court stated, “The complainant urged for arrest and custodial interrogation of the accused to effectuate meaningful investigation, in a case involving serious allegations. In such a case grant of anticipatory bail would impede the investigation. Therefore, the anticipatory bail plea at the instance of the accused cannot be considered and the same is only to be dismissed.”
