Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, Dec 21: Lawyer K S N Rajesh, who is accused in the case of sexual harassment of law student is sent to four days of police custody by the court.

The police had sought seven days of police custody of the accused in the third JMFC court of the city. However, Justice Ashwini Kore allowed to take the accused to four days of police custody.

Ashfaq Bajpe argued for accused Rajesh.

Rajesh, who has been accused of sexually harassing a law student, surrendered in the court on Monday December 20. 

It may be recalled, a case about sexual harassment was registered in the women's police station here against the advocate in question on October 18 this year. The advocate had successfully evaded arrest for about two months even though the police made some arrests, questioned many people, served lookout notice and froze his bank accounts.

    Generally Police and Lawyers join together and case will be diluted. Believing in them is a big mistake. Unless they are known to you personally.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLICE AND JUDICIAL CUSTODY Following are some of the key differences between Police and Judicial Custody: S. No. Police Custody Judicial Custody 1. The accused is held in a police station’s prison cell or the custody of an investigating agency probing into the matter. The accused is locked up in jail and is under the custody of the Magistrate. 2. The accused is under the custody of police and here the process of the first interrogation commences. In judicial custody, the accused is under the custody of the Magistrate. 3. The accused is kept in lock-up for further inquiry or investigation. The accused is kept in lock-up as per the orders of the magistrate or court for a duration above 15 days. 4. The accused lodged in police custody has to appear within 24 hours before the concerned Magistrate. The accused is kept in lockup until he/she is granted bail from the Court of Law. 5. The police custody begins as soon as the suspect is arrested by a police officer after receiving a complaint or an FIR. The judicial custody begins after the public prosecutor satisfies the court that the custody of the accused is necessary for investigation. 6. In police custody, the period is 24 hours which can be extended to a period of 15 days by the orders of an appropriate Magistrate. In the non-bailable cases punishable with life imprisonment, death, or imprisonment for a term of not less than ten years, the maximum period for detention is 90 days. However, in the bailable cases, the maximum period for detention is 60 days. 7. The security is provided by the police in the police custody. The judge/magistrate provides security in judicial custody. 8. The police officer in charge has complete control over arresting the accused or suspect/investigate in their provisional area. Judicial custody works on the orders of the court where the judge/magistrate takes a call on the case navigation. ...Tak...Takk...

    Police budge only when public pressures otherwise happy go lucky like. Why they do their job willingly unless someone force them to do it?
