Statement: The High Court has ordered state X to submit the case papers of the hit -and -run accident involving actor Mr Y and directed the police not to allow the actor or his family members and friends to meet witnesses or victims. Assumptions: I. The kith and Kin of an accused are likely to make an effort to tamper with the evidence or create a nuisance to help acquit the accused. II. The capacity of the wrongdoer cannot be a yardstick for deciding punishment for a crime. III. The court's immediate concern is the grievance of the victims which needs redressal.
