Dr. Abdul Khader Thidil v. State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Kerala quashed an additional charge sheet filed against a medical doctor accused of fabricating medical records to shield alleged offenders under the SC/ST (POA) Act. The court held that the prosecution failed to prove the requisite mens rea since the original accused were acquitted and the factual basis of the petition was repelled by other trial court judgments.
What did the court decide?
The B charge sheet and all proceedings arising therefrom (C.P No.59/2015) against the petitioner stood quashed.
