State and another Case Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Kar) 432 The Karnataka High Court recently denied bail to a man who allegedly raped a 16-year-old Muslim girl as it noted that even if the girl had consented to a physical relationship, her consent becomes irrelevant as she is a minor.

Order41 Rule 33 CPC: Karnataka High Court Enhances Motor Accident Compensation Payable To Injured In Appeal By Insurance Company Case Title: NATIONAL INSURANCE CO LTD v. ALWIN LOBO Case No: M.F.A.NO.8449/2015 Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Kar) 434 The Karnataka High Court has said that in an appeal against compensation filed by an Insurance Company in a Motor Accident case, the appellate court can invoke Order 41 Rule 33 of CPC to enhance compensation, if injustice is caused to the victim or deceased due to compensation awarded by the Claims Tribunal. Order 41 Rule 33 of CPC deals with the power of the Court of Appeal to pass an appropriate order in a case regardless of the fact that the appeal is only with respect to a part of the decree or that the appeal is filed only by some of the parties. In other words, the Appellate Court can pass an order as it deems it fit regardless of the scope of the appeal.

However, the court allowed the petition filed by an alleged member of the Campus Front of India (which is also a part of the PFI), and quashed the criminal proceedings against him as the prosecution failed to obtain prior sanction from the state government for taking cognizance of offence under Section 153(A) .
