Sheejish v. Union of India & Ors.Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Ker) 210The Kerala High Court dismissed a plea by a lawyer seeking a direction to be issued to the Southern Railways for permitting a stop for the 'Vande Bharat Train Service' at Tirur Railway Station at Malappuram District.It was alleged by the petitioner that despite Malappuram being a densely populated area, with a large number of people depending on train services for travel, a stop had not been allotted for the district. It was also averred that an earlier proposal to allot a stop at Tirur did not fructify, without any specific reason.Dismissing the plea which alleged that the failure to allot a stop at Tirur Railway Station was an injustice to the people of Malappuram District, the Division Bench comprising Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas and Justice C. Jayachandran observed that there was no public interest espoused in the present writ petition.'Bond' Not Sufficient Security For Releasing Accident Vehicle Not Having Third Party Insurance: Kerala High Court Explains Motor Vehicle RulesCase Title: State of Kerala v. Sanith Jan and State of Kerala v. ArunCitation: 2023 LiveLaw (Ker) 211The Kerala High Court recently elaborated upon the nature of security contemplated under Rule 391A of the Kerala Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 (hereinafter 'Rules, 1989') for the purposes of releasing a vehicle involved in an accident if it was not covered by a valid policy of insurance against third party risks at the time of the accident.Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas held that,"the word 'sufficient security' in Rule 391A of the Rules means a security from which the amount, when awarded, can easily be recovered, that too without any further litigation".Elaborating on the same further, the single Judge added,"Ideally, a cash deposit or a bank guarantee or fixed deposit receipts or other modes of security from which the amount when awarded, can easily be recovered, should be the nature of security to be furnished under Rule 391A. Executing a bond for the amount directed cannot, in the circumstances, be treated as sufficient security".Church Feud: Kerala High Court Grants Police Protection To Orthodox Vicars Against Jacobite Faction, For Performing Rites In Six ChurchesCase Title: St. Mary's Orthodox Church & Anr....
