Patna High Court Dismisses Plea Seeking Infrastructure Upgrades at Hasanpur Railway Siding Due to Lack of Specific Challenge

A Single Judge Bench of the Patna High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by wholesale food grain traders seeking directions to the Railways for infrastructure improvements, such as sheds and lighting, at the Hasanpur Road railway siding. The Court held that general directions for infrastructure development cannot be issued under writ jurisdiction without challenging a specific order or action of the railway authorities. The Bench observed that the petitioners, who cited difficulties in loading and unloading goods as grounds for the request, failed to provide sufficient evidence of fundamental rights infringement to warrant judicial interference.

Kerala High Court permits police to register case against judge following fatal accident involving his minor son

The Kerala High Court has granted permission to the police to register a case against an Additional District and Sessions Judge in connection with a fatal road accident involving his minor son. The incident occurred near Cheranalloor, resulting in the death of a 55-year-old man, Jayabalakrishnan, after his two-wheeler was struck by a Mercedes-Benz registered to the judge. Police had previously booked the minor under Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by negligence and later under Section 105 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The High Court's administrative order follows allegations from the victim's family regarding preferential treatment and demands for accountability.

Ernakulam Juvenile Justice Board grants bail to minor in fatal road accident case

The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in Ernakulam has granted bail to a 17-year-old minor involved in a fatal accident in Cheranalloor, Kochi. The incident occurred when the Mercedes-Benz driven by the minor struck a scooter, resulting in the death of 55-year-old Jayabalakrishnan. The Cheranalloor police initially registered a case under Sections 281 and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for rash driving and causing death by negligence. Following public protest, Section 105 of the BNS, regarding culpable homicide not amounting to murder, was added to the case. The minor was subsequently produced before the JJB, which granted bail in the matter.

Gujarat High Court dismisses father's habeas corpus plea for custody of minor daughter

A division bench of the Gujarat High Court refused to entertain a habeas corpus petition filed by a father seeking the production of his minor daughter, who was residing with her mother. The court held that the mother's custody of the two-year-old child could not be termed illegal. Noting that the dispute involved complex facts and conflicting allegations—including the wife's claims regarding the husband's excessive use of ChatGPT affecting their marital relationship—the court ruled that such custody matters must be determined by a competent court through a thorough inquiry. The plea was dismissed, with liberty granted to the parties to pursue appropriate alternative legal remedies for permanent or interim custody.

Allahabad High Court quashes dismissal where employer failed to provide documents and produce original inquiry record

The Allahabad High Court has set aside the dismissal of a Punjab National Bank employee, ruling that disciplinary proceedings are vitiated if an employer denies access to relevant documents and fails to produce the original inquiry record despite judicial orders. The Court observed that the Bank failed to establish that a fair opportunity of defense was granted and that the absence of the original record prevented verification of the inquiry's fairness. Further, because the employee had reached superannuation during the pendency of the petition, the Court held that a fresh inquiry could not be ordered under the applicable service rules. The Bank was directed to treat the petitioner as in continuous service until superannuation, re-fix his pay, calculate retiral benefits, and pay 50% of back wages within three months.
