Hello
Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas disposed the case filed by the mother under Parents Patria that allows the court to take up the role of a guardian
The petitioner, who approached the family court in 2011, has now crossed the age of 60.
The petitioner in the case – the accused, was alleged to have sexually assaulted the minor while she was studying in Plus Two class, by picking her up from her school in his car and touching her inappropriately.
The HC has also sought an explanation from the government and the Excise Crime Branch over the case.
The right to bail cannot be denied merely because of the sentiments of the community being against the accused, the court said.
The high court had in June barred the government from making any payment to the state-owned company in connection with the project.
The court asked the Travancore Devaswom Board commissioner to hold discussions with the health secretary and take a decision on the matter.

Though there are previous court orders allowing marriage registeration and issue the certificate if the parties appear through video conferencing, they still have to approach the court to get it done.
The petitioners moved the court as the devotees of the Muthupilakkadu Sree Parthasarathy temple. In their plea, they stated that they were keenly interested in the welfare of the temple and its proper administration.
