Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (SK)

Bangalore, Sep 22: A day after the chargesheet was filed in connection with the July 28 home stay attack in Mangalore, the high court on Friday September 21 dismissed the PIL filed by senior advocate Vasudeva seeking action against the perpetrators.

ACP T R Jaganath who is in charge of the investigations submitted the chargesheet and documents with regard to the case in the high court.

As many as 44 persons including the 24 who were arrested have been named in the chargesheet. The arrested are currently in judicial custody.

Home minister R Ashok had earlier stated that the main accused in the home stay attack will be booked under the Goonda Act but it has not been done so far.

"Paper work with regard to Goonda Act is still on. Filing of chargesheet does not mean Goonda Act will not be invoked, but it will not speed up the process either," said a police source.

    Thanks to Mr Vincy & Dr. Kiren for the info.I do not know the procedure in law or the High Court. So I was wondering as to how the PIL was dismissed and on what grounds.For a lay person , it is difficult to understand legal procedure.Every Court has its own style / paperwork. With renewed thanks.God Bless Mangalore.

    The PIL was meant for the delay in filing charge sheet and now since the charge sheet is filed by the ACP then the HC has to dismiss the PIL.
    We do not expect the concerned magistrate to simply give the bail to the accused like a case of attack and release of cows from the Omni Van.

    thanks to PIL @ HC, Charge sheet was filed. So the need for continuation PIL and a HC order not required Thats aall to it. Asha Nagori you need to wake up to 21 century and respect the human rights. By writing comical sentences you are not doing any service to humanity.

    If justice is denied in Karnataka, I request the home-stay victims to appeal to the Supreme Court.
    Make it a national issue.
    Let whole of India join the movement.
    Lets make it a national movement.
    Lets do it together.
    Lets join and overcome the EVIL.
    We are not fighting against any individual or political party.
    Its a fight against EVILS of the society.
    If need be, lets also send the appeal to the United Nations Human Rights Commission with all video proofs.
    Lets throw the EVIL out of our beloved INDIA.
    Let peace reign in INDIA.

    Home minister R Ashok had earlier stated that the main accused in the home stay attack will be booked under the Goonda Act but it has not been done so far because the main accused is their Guru Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat.

    There are cases of molestation found either by CCTV coverage or only complained by the victim. Here we have a special case from a special city Mangalore, where a complete video footage shows how the people carried out the attempt to rape or molestation. The judicial process and police investigation may be slow and cumbersome but the journalist witness and a complete non-stop video footage is a very strong evidence to prove that the case is genuine and the accused committed it in front of a camera. This case verdict will be eye opener for every educated Mangaloreans who condemn this incident as inhumane and brutal.
    There could be strong private lawyers to defend the accused who belong to a party that control the whole system in Karnataka. The party that says in public about strict actions and overnight makes transfer/promotion of the IPS cadre officers who handled this case with a modern attitude.
    The party that talks about imposing goonda act has not done so far to safeguard the accused. But there are other clauses in IPC which are sufficient to punish the guilty without invoking goonda act, provided the Mangalore police file the correct charge sheet along with witness of the journalist, statement of victims and the eye witnesses.
    We have people in Mangalore, who often say that, the accused are our boys, and they are savior of culture and traditions. There are people who support this incident on the contrary that the girl victims were dressed in western style. There are supporters to the accused who made rounds of protest march to the DC office without getting arrested for doing so without police permissions.
    The bottom line is whether we have honest judiciary and honest police. Because we often say that we have faith in the judiciary and we say this without even thinking of the judicial people, process and the system.
