State by Gandhinagar Police Station Vs. Shivaji

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-03-2003

Reported in: 2004(3)KarLJ668

M.F. Saldhanha J.1. We have heard the learned Government Pleader on merits. The charge against the accused is one under Section 392 of the IPC and the facts of the case disclose that this is an obnoxious and antisocial offence insofar as the gold chain belonging to P.W. 1 was snatched from his neck at about 6.30 p.m. on 19-10-2002 on the Temple Road near Sibara Gate. The learned Government Pleader is right when he points out that this is one of the cases which would have resulted in a separate conviction because P.Ws. 1 and 2 who are uncle and nephew were travelling on a motor-cycle and they had stopped the motor-cycle because of a conversation between the P.W. 1 and the accused. The accused was known to them. He was seen by them because it was in the day time and there would have been absolutely no doubt about the fact that the Court could have convicted the accused because the police have recovered the gold chain from the accused. Unfortunately, on the crucial evidence of recovery th...

State of Karnataka Vs. N.R. Anthony Raj

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-03-2003

Reported in: 2004CriLJ2252; 2004(2)KarLJ346

1. We have heard the learned Government Pleader on merits. His first submission is that the entrustment in respect of which the offence has taken place relates to an amount of Rs. 19,005/- which is the amount collected by the sale of the tickets and this has nothing to do with the original tickets entrusted by the Corporation to the conductor. The Trial Court has wrongly proceeded on the footing that due to some procedural errors, the entrustment of the tickets has not been established. Learned Government Pleader is right when he points out that the offence alleged is in respect of the sale proceeds and not damages.2. The next submission canvassed by him is that where the rules required that the amount in question had to be deposited with the Corporation when the bus had returned after its journey to Bombay and if the same is not deposited, that it constitutes misappropriation of the amount is also technically correct. His submission is that even though the accused had deposited the fu...

The appeal is by the claimant against dismissal of his claim for compensation for the injuries suffered by him in a motor accident that occurred on 12.11.1994. The claim was presented on 23.04.1997.
