A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on May 9 directed the High Court Registrar General to register a suo motu public interest case in connection with the boat accident in Tanur in Malappuram district.
The Bench, comprising Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice Shobha Annama Eppen, while issuing the order observed that it was penning the order with “shuddering heart”. The Court noted that precious lives have been lost in the boat tragedy which should never have happened and which could have been fully averted.
