Woman, child, assaulted by group of miscreants; Police accused of taking no action

October 13, 2012

Puttur, October 13: An incident of a woman and her little child being assaulted by a group of miscreants has been reported from Koltige village in Puttur taluk.

The lady has alleged that in spite of filing a complaint with the police, no action has been taken yet. A resident of Sthalamane of Koltige, Chitraprabha Rai, wife of Chikkarama Kumar, was injured along with her three and a half year old son Sankesh Kumar. Sankesh's hand has been fractured due to the assault.

Ms. Chitraprabha has alleged that Ashok Kumar, son of Laxman Gowda, Varijaakshi, Anitha, and Venugopal Gowda, all local residents, carried out the assault and threatened to finish her family off. A property dispute is reportedly the cause of the assault.

The accused had come to her house on Tuesday evening and threatened her. In spite of filing a complaint with the Sampya police, no investigation was done. The next day, the accused entered her house when her husband was away and assaulted her with a club, hurting her little son in the process, she said. Her elder son was in the neighbouring house when the incident took place and hence he was saved from the assault. The accused flaunted of political backing and threatened to finish her family off, she said. Ms. Chitraprabha has also complained that Ashok Kumar has snatched her necklace.

Since no action was taken by the police, Mr. Chikkarama Kumar appeared before mediapersons at Puttur Press Club along with his injured son and spoke about his problems.

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.
