Krishna Alias Krishnan Vs. State of Karnataka

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-12-2000

Reported in: 2001CriLJ2696; ILR2000KAR4845; 2001(1)KarLJ24

1. This appeal preferred by one Krishna alias Krishnan, a 23 year old resident of Ramachandrapura, Bangalore raises an interesting point of law which we shall summarise. In a case where the predominant allegation is one of rape of a young girl and the entire evidence is led to establish this charge and the prosecution also alleges that since the girl was found dead that the more serious offence of murder is also attributable to him, the question arises as to whether the heads of evidence which may establish the offence of rape conclusively could also be relied upon by the prosecution for purposes of establishing the more serious charge of murder. The deceased, Kumari Girija was only nine years old and was effectively a child. It is alleged that the accused who lived close by had misbehaved with this girl about a month prior to the incident and that he was admonished by the girl's grandmother Muniyamma. On 24-7-1994 Girija was watching T.V. in the company of P.W. 3-Sulochana at about 2 ...

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. This appeal has been preferred by the State of Karnataka and the short point involved is the question as to whether the Trial Court was justified in convicting the accused who was originally charged having committed an offence punishable under Section 326, Indian Penal Code for the lesser offence under Section 335, Indian Penal Code. The incident is within a narrow ambit insofar as it is alleged that on the afternoon of 21-6-1991, the complainant stopped a bullock cart in which the accusedwas taking some timber. According to the complainant, he found that one of the trees on his land had been cut and he maintains that he saw the timber from that tree being carried in the bullock cart which was why he insisted on stopping it and he told the accused that the timber must be brought to the complainant's house. Because of this, some altercations took place whereupon the accused gave two blows to the complainant on his arm as a result of which, he sustained a fracture. Th...
