Reported in: 2004CriLJ329; ILR2003KAR3958

Saldanha, J.1. When Criminal Appeal No. 105/2003 was argued for admission by the learned Addl. SPP, we found that in respect of discharge of the other two accused that the State had filed Criminal Revision Petition and since both the proceedings arose out of a common order, we directed that Office to produce the papers in Criminal Revision Petition also. We have heard the learned Addl. SPP on merits in both the cases. 2. The principal submission canvassed is that these accused persons are habitual offenders, that the offence are not only serious in so far as they are punishable with heavy jail sentences, but more importantly the nature of the offence is such that it must be categorised as anti-social offences, which undermines the law and order situation. In this background, we do agree with the learned Addl. SPP, when he submits that it is very necessary that the Law Enforcement Machinery and the Courts must take a very rigorous view of this category of offences and those who indulge ...

Reported in: 2003CriLJ4762

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. We have heard the learned Addl. SPP on I. A. I. as also on merits. As far as I. A. I. is concerned for the reasons set out the delay is condoned. I. A. I. is allowed.2. Coming to the merits of the case, obviously the State has filed an appeal against acquittal because the allegation is to the effect that the complainant Shanthamma was a 19 years old girl, that she had been raped and that she had also been assaulted. The trial Court has acquitted the accused and having regard to the nature of the charge, the order has been challenged through the present appeal.3. We need to again reiterate the fact that undoubtedly, attacks on the dignity of females of whatever age is something of utmost seriousness which the courts will visit with exemplary punishments in the social interest. It is also necessary for us to reiterate the fact that where the attack is on the modesty of the female or where it is a sexual attack that the law itself prescribes for deterrent punishment. ...

Reported in: ILR2004KAR3670

ORDERA.V. Srinivasa Reddy, J.1. In these revisions preferred by the tenants, the legality and correctness of the order of the court-below passed in H.R.C. Nos. 10700/91 and H.R.C. No 10701/91 are called in question. By the common order passed in them, the Court-below allowed the eviction petitions filed under Section 21(1)(h) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961 ('the repealed Act' for short) and rejected the petitions filed under Section 21 (1)(a)(c)(d) of the repealed Act. No revision is preferred against the dismissal of the eviction petitions filed on grounds other than Clause (h) by the alleged legal representatives of the deceased landlord. I use the term 'alleged' because the petitioners very hotly dispute the claim of the present respondent in these revision petitions that she is the true legal representative of the deceased landlord.2. But before I proceed to decide the revision petitions on merits, I must dispose of plethora of IAs filed by the parties during the pendency ...
