Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-27-1991

Reported in: 1991(2)BomCR344

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. This Criminal Writ Petition raises issues of considerable seriousness which are also of immense public importance. It concerns the sanctity that is required to be attached to the right of privacy and the aspect of confidentiality that must be observed by public authorities entrusted with investigations, with particular accent on cases relating to women. Briefly stated, it has been pointed out to this Court that two nuns, who deserved general admiration for the fact that they were looking after a group of 20 homeless boys at an institution called 'Sneh Sadan' at Jogeshwari, were found dead on the morning of 16-11-1990 with multiple stab injuries on their bodies. The institution functioned from a small house where the conditions were so austere that robbery appeared to be the least of the likely causes for the incident. The Police Authorities took charge of the bodies and sent the same for post--mortem examination in normal course. On 18-11-1990, the incident was repo...
