Daughter of Cheranalloor accident victim files review petition before Kerala High Court

KOCHI Bhadrakeerthi R.J., daughter of Jayabalakrishnan who died after a luxury car reportedly driven by the minor son of a judicial officer rammed his two-wheeler at Cheranalloor here on October 25, has filed a criminal review petition before the Kerala High Court, challenging an order passed on November 5 by the Ernakulam Additional District and Sessions Judge (Children’s Court) granting bail to the minor in conflict with law (CCL).

In her petition, she submitted that the impugned judgment of the children’s court is ex facie illegal, perverse, and vitiated by a complete non-application of mind to the mandatory statutory exceptions embedded in the proviso to S.12(1) of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015.
