On Monday (18th March): The Delhi High Court emphasized that custodial torture should be avoided, and custodial interrogation is meant to aid investigations, not punish suspects. It granted anticipatory bail to an accused cooperating with the investigation and at low risk of fleeing. The court also warned against using bail for financial disputes better suited to civil courts.
The Supreme Court urged Kerala and the Central government to resolve financial disputes through dialogue. Both sides agreed to meet, following the Court’s recommendation. The meeting aims to address urgent funding concerns and bridge the gap in financial management. This marks a critical opportunity for open communication and collaboration, setting important precedents for India’s federal structure.
