Kerala Lawyers Object to Supreme Court View
Lawyers practicing before the Kerala High Court have moved a resolution regarding the ongoing Supreme Court case concerning High Courts entertaining anticipatory bail pleas ahead of sessions courts.
The Supreme Court had expressed concern over the "regular practice" of the Kerala High Court entertaining anticipatory bail pleas without asking the person to first approach the sessions court.
A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta of the apex said that this does not happen in any other Court.
The court appointed Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra as amicus curiae in the matter.
