HC says high speed alone doesn't prove rash or negligent driving

Discharges accused

- SHEKHAR SINGH @ NEW DELHI

THE Delhi High Court has ruled that driving at a high speed cannot automatically be deemed as rash and negligent behavior and stressed that speed alone is insufficient to establish culpability unless supported by concrete evidence of reckless conduct.

Justice Saurabh Banerjee made the observation while discharging a man accused of driving at high speed and fatally hitting two pedestrians.
