Sullia: Housewife killed by lover

February 22, 2011

Mangalore, February 23: In a tragic incident, a woman was killed by her paramour at Kuthumotte in Ubaradka Mithur on Monday late night.

Police arrested Karunakara Patali (39), who allegedly hit Arunashri (39) on her head with a wooden stick. It was said that the duo was living together for the last seven years.

Patali was an alcoholic and was quarreling with Arunashri quite often besides torturing her physically. It is also said that he was suspecting her chastity.

It is said that Arunashri was the daughter of Ganapayya Gowda of Sonangeri and was married to Kallapalli Arun Kumar.

She later had an affair with Karunakara, who was running a travel agency, and after divorce with Arun Kumar, was living with him. Karunakara was too a divorcee. It is also learnt that though the court had asked Karunakara to pay for his first wife and child, he was not paying it.

He was also involved in the sale of tiger pelt. There were several cases against him, police said.

It is said that Arunashri's child from her first marriage was staying with the couple and the second child from Karunakara, Charishma, is a LKG student. Arunashri was reportedly pregnant, when she pressurised Karunkara to marry her. However, it is learnt that he had lied to her that he has not got the divorce from his first marriage.

It is said that Karunakara suspected her and fought with her daily and that he had assaulted her couple of months ago after which she had to be taken to the hospital. On Monday night, when he realised that she had died, he tried to project it as a suicide case by removing all the blood stains.

Supreme Court raps Karnataka HC judge over ‘Pakistan’ and ‘undergarment’ remarks

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer.

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court.

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.
