Attack on health-care institutions: Kerala HC suggests depositing an amount as bail condition

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: The HC has suggested the inclusion of depositing an amount towards damage caused as a condition for granting bail to the accused in cases registered under the Kerala Healthcare Service Persons and Healthcare Service Institutions Act. Justice P V Kunhikrishnan made the observation while granting bail to Nithin Gopi, an accused in a case registered in connection with attacking doctors and destroying hospital properties in Thiruvananthapuram, on a condition of depositing Rs 10,000 towards the damage. The court observed that the preamble of the Act itself indicates its intention is prevention of damages and loss to property in healthcare institutions. Hence while granting bail, in cases where offences under the Act are alleged and if any damage is caused to the healthcare institutions by the accused, the courts should impose the condition.
