In a significant judgment, Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected anticipatory bail for the father of a minor co-passenger accused of tampering with evidence by allegedly bribing doctors at Sassoon Hospital to switch his son's blood sample with that of the co-accused to save him from the legal hammerBackground about the case: Case of a high-speed road accident with a luxury Porsche car in Pune. This accident tends to result in grave injury and has brought up the alarm about rash driving. There are rumors that the under-age was sitting behind the wheel with his other co-passengers under-aged too. During the investigation by the police, so many loopholes have come into the limelight such as underage driving and dangerous speeding. The father of one of the co-passengers faced the heat when charges were raised that he paid doctors at Sassoon Hospital to exchange his son's blood sample for another individual victim of the accident. This was done so that his son would not face any legal action in the case as investigations were showing that he, too, had been traveling in the taxi when the accident occurred. Bombay High Court Observations The Bombay High Court observed prima facie evidence of the father's involvement in tampering with most important piece of evidence while rejecting the father's anticipatory bail plea. According to the court, bribing the medical professionals to thereby misreport the blood samples is a serious crime which not only causes obstructions to the process of investigation but also dilutes the legal proceedings. The court remarked that such acts are of grave severity, particularly when minors are involved, and were questioning how such tampering would defeat the very purpose of any investigation while seriously impacting the outcome of the investigation. The judge had some comments upon the actions by the father, commenting that if it is indeed true, his actions could also spell out far-reaching implications for the case because he might have wanted to cover other wrongdoers behind this. Legislative and Social Constraints Therefore, this judgment hints that the judiciary is not very lenient with the attempts of manhandling the process of court, especially matters pertaining to serious offenses like rash driving and evidence manipulation. The denial of anticipatory bail by the court denotes that in any case, where an individual attempts to thwart justice, the law will be applied, irrespective of whether he is a noble soul trying to save members of his family..
