Ufm Ramabai Hanumanth Nayak Vs. State of Karnataka and Others

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-24-1999

Reported in: 2000(1)KarLJ352

ORDER1. Heard the learned Counsel Sri K.I. Bhatta for the petitioner, Sri R.V. Jayaprakash for respondents 3 to 5 and the learned High court Government Pleader who is directed to take notice on behalf of respondents 1 and 2.2. The petitioner was granted earlier 2 guntas of land in 1965. Adjacent to this land, there is a vacant small strip of land measuring 14' x 80'. As this was not useful to any other person for any purpose the same could not have been allotted or granted independently to any other person either for house or site or for any other purpose. The petitioner applied for and obtained the grant on 28-3-1984. Subsequently, the suit appears to have been filed in O.S. No. 65 of 1984 wherein the right of way was claimed over this particular piece of land as easement. The suit came to be dismissed after elaborate trial and the finding has become final. It appears that respondents 3 to 5 who claim to be the owners on the other side of the municipal land wanted to have access to th...

The State Vs. Raju Alias Nagaraja and anr.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-24-1999

Reported in: 2000CriLJ955

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. We have heard the learned SPP on merits as he has seriously assailed the correctness of the acquittal order in this case. His submission is that both the offences of kidnapping and rape stand established in so far as the evidence of the minor girl which is corroborated by the medical evidence brings home the charges against the accused. It has further been submitted that the few infirmities on the basis of which the accused has been acquitted cannot outweigh the other material on record and that interference is very necessary.2. The cases involving minors throw up delicate issues and a Court is required to take a very cautious as also a very realistic view bearing in mind the sociological consequences of the orders that a Court may pass. In a case where a minor is induced to leave the lawful guardianship, technically the offence of kidnapping would stand established and similarly, even if a minor girl voluntarily accompanies the accused and submits to sexual interc...
