Kochi Hit-&-Run Case: Why Was Key Evidence Missing As Judge Gets Interim Protection From Arrest?

The Kerala High Court granted interim protection from arrest to a sitting judge, the father of the minor accused in the Kochi hit-and-run case. The victim's lawyer questioned the absence of key video evidence during court proceedings. Consequently, the Kerala government transferred the investigation to the Crime Branch and took action against police officers. Justice SN Dhingra has raised concerns regarding legal accountability and whether the rich and powerful are held to the same standards of justice.
