Reported in: 2002CriLJ3604

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. When this appeal first came up for admission on 11 -3-2002 we heard the learned Additional S.P.P. who had advanced his submission that the act of the accused has resulted In an injury to the complainant that a sharp object was used and that even if the conviction is not under Section 307, IPC that the conviction for some lesser offence is very necessary. His submission was that in those of the cases an offence of some seriousness is alleged and merely because the trial Court finds that the offence of that gravity has not been made out, that it would not be correct for the trial Court to record an order of acquittal because that would constitute a miscarriage of justice. The learned Additional S.P.P. only submitted that the trial Courts are required in such instances to pass correct orders even if at the trial it is disclosed that the injury was a minor one and that without considering the important aspect of the law where a lesser offence is made out, recording an ...

G.R. Chandrashekara Vs. State of Karnataka

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-12-2002

Reported in: 2003CriLJ5089

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. The facts of this case are rather startling not only because it is a triple murder case but because the three victims are the wife, her mother and the sister of the wife, all three being adult women. What adds to the aspect of further concern is the fact that the wife Bhuwaneshwari was pregnant at the time when she was murdered as is evident from the medical evidence on record and it is virtually a situation in which a 4th life has been lost. Obviously, these areaspects of which any Court would take a very serious view moreso, since the prosecution alleges that the accused was at the relevant time an Army Jawan stationed somewhere in the north near Jammuthavi. From the material that is before the Court, it appears that the murders took place on the night of 20-8-1997, and the allegation as far as the accused is concerned is that, he had obtained the requisite permission from his Unit to visit his home which is at Rangasamudra village, Somwarpet Taluk. The prosecutio...
