School Girl Injured After Conductor Signals Driver To Move While She Was Boarding The Bus: Kerala High Court Upholds Conviction U/S 308 IPC
Case: Abdul Ansar v. State of Kerala
Coram: Justice P.G. Ajithkumar
Case No.: CRL.A NO. 913 OF 2006
Court Observation: “Every prudent man should know if a person falls down from a moving bus, that would cause fatal injuries to him. If so, a licensed conductor should have sufficient knowledge about such a certain consequence while ringing the bell thereby asking the driver of the bus to move from the bus stop, without ensuring that no passenger is mounting the bus and the door is closed.
“Therefore, the 2nd accused (conductor )had a bounden duty before ringing the bell thereby giving signal to the driver to proceed to ensure that the foot-board was clear and the door is closed.”
“The purpose of employing a cleaner in a stage carriage is undoubtedly to ensure the safety of the passengers, who are boarding and alighting the bus. Therefore, it was his duty also to see that the bus is not moved ahead with any passenger on the foot-board or before the door is cleared.”
