A Kerala court acquitted actor Dileep in the 2017 actress assault case, invoking the Latin maxim Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum. The verdict emphasised that justice must prevail solely on evidence, regardless of pressure or allegations.
The Kerala High Court criticized the Travancore Devaswom Board and state police for granting VIP treatment to actor Dileep during his visit to Sabarimala, questioning the privileges he received at the expense of other devotees. The court directed measures for equitable access to darshan for all, especially vulnerable individuals, during the festival.
The Kerala High Court Today rejected the State Prosecution’s appeal to revoke actor Dileep’s bail in the 2017 actress assault case. The court clarified that the trial judge’s rulings wouldn’t affect the main trial. Dileep is accused of orchestrating the assault in retaliation for a personal matter. The prosecution alleged witness coercion and evidence tampering. Despite facing additional allegations, Dileep secured bail.
