Smt. H.T. Srimathi Rao Vs. Prafulla and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Feb-08-2002

Reported in: AIR2002Kant255

ORDERM.P. Saldanha, J.1. I have heard the petitioner's learned advocate on merits as also the learned advocate who represents the contesting caveators. A strong plea is advanced to the Court that if it can be demonstrated that the petitioner possessed or came to possess certain rights by virtue of the Will that the petitioner should not be non-suited only on the ground of gross delay or the principles of limitation. The real issue is far deeper insofar as the petitioner had filed the impleading application in the year 1994 at which point of time itself, that application was hopelessly belated because the original plaintiff had passed away in the year 1991. That application itself could not have ever been granted by the Court unless the Court was satisfied in some exceptional circumstances that there was valid ground for condonation of delay. What has thereafter aggravated of the position is that the petitioner filed an application for condonation of delay after a lapse of another 7 yea...

Reported in: 2002CriLJ2510; 2002(3)KarLJ570

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the learned State Public Prosecutor and the learned Advocate who represents respondents 1 to 4.2. The principal ground on which the learned State Public Prosecutor has assailed the order of acquittal is that this is a case in which there are as many as 5 witnesses who deposed to the assault in question out of whom two, namely, P.Ws. 1 and 2 are injured and despite this, the learned Magistrate has acquitted the accused only on the ground of the inter se infirmities or inconsistencies. The submission that is canvassed is that the incident was of a short duration, that the parties knew each other, that they are virtually related, that unfortunately due to some dispute the incident took place and that there is therefore no question of mistaken identity etc. Consequently, what he submits is that even if the Court were to take a relatively lenient view for the aforesaid reasons that the order of acquittal is technically incorrect.3. Learned Advocate who repr...
