Thirdly the statute also enacts a ‘negative burden’ clause, which places the onus on the shoulders of accused, much in variance with the normal rule i.e., the burden of proof lies on the prosecution.”'Shocked Our Conscience': Karnataka High Court Confirms Death Sentence Of Man Who Killed Wife, Minor Children With Chopper Case Title: Byluru Thippaiah And State of KarnatakaCase No: CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 100170 OF 2020 C/W CRIMINAL REFERRED CASE NO. 100002 OF 2020Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Kar) 216The Karnataka High Court has confirmed the death sentence handed down to an accused by the trial court for murdering his wife, sister-in-law and three children below the age of 10 years, suspecting the fidelity of his wife.A division bench of Justice Suraj Govindaraj and Justice G Basavaraja said the case qualifies the test of rarest of rare cases requiring the award of the death penalty. “The atrocity of the crime resulting in five deaths including of 3 children below 10 years of age and the brutality with which the same has been committed, leaves us no option but to confirm the order of death sentence passed by the trial Court, which we do with a heavy heart,” it remarked.Registration Of Criminal Case In Absence Of Prima Facie Material To Establish Nexus With Alleged Crime Violates Article 21: Karnataka High CourtCase Title: Vipul Prakash Patil And State of Karnataka & ANRCase No: CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 104152 OF 2022Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Kar) 217The Karnataka High Court has said that in order to proceed against a person with criminal action, the complainant or prosecuting agency must show prima facie material whereby some nexus could be established to the alleged crime with a person. If such material is not available, very registration of the case against such persons would definitely amount to abuse of process of law affecting the right of a citizen enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution of India.A single judge bench of Justice V Srishananda sitting at Dharwad bench allowed the petition filed by one Vipul Prakash Patil and quashed the FIR registered under Sections 406, 420 of IPC and Section 9 of Karnataka Protection of Interest of Deposits in Financial Establishment Act.Election Campaign: Karnataka High Court Quashes 4 Yrs Old Case Against Congress MP DK Suresh Case Title: D K Suresh And State of KarnatakaCase No: CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 10599 OF 2022Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Kar) 218The Karnataka High Court has quashed a case registered in the year 2019, under sections 171H of the Indian Penal Code, and Section 133 of the Representation of People Act, against Congress MP D.K.
