Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Kerala Police v. Akhilesh S Nair (CC 2457/22) Akhilesh S Nair was acquitted of charges under Section 304A IPC (death by negligence) in connection with a 2019 incident where a cyclist struck his parked car's door and was subsequently run over by a KSRTC bus. The court found the prosecution failed to prove gross negligence, noting that witnesses merely stated the door was opened "negligently" without explaining how or why, and absent critical details about parking position and road conditions. Crucially, the court held the bus—not the car door—was the direct cause of death, lacking the necessary proximate causation required under criminal law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
