The Special Court for Criminal Cases against the former and current deputies and MLA and granted “imprisonment for the rest of his natural life” to the former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, said the crime “in this case could be interpreted as a crime committed against society where women are worshiped”. Judge Santosh Gajanan Bhat further stated that “the question of the law of the legislature is a serious aspect”.
Mr. Bhat, who described the case where the victim is the former assistance on the family farm of the accused as “David vs Goliath”, said “committing sexual offenses against servants and other women in society would despise them because of their economic condition” and “the act of committing a sexual intermediate thing would be more than murdering”.
The judge quoted Sanskrit, which says “Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha …”, “Dharma should not be destroyed so that we are not destroyed as a result” and granted the maximum sentence according to Section 376 (2)) (N) (repeated rape on the same woman) of the Indian Code. The judgment refuses to appeal against leniency by the Council of the Councilor because of his former grandfather Prime Minister and aging parents and that he does not have, among other things, a criminal predecessor.
The victim’s statement key to belief
The 480 -page judgment examines the victim’s statement and considers the deposition of several witnesses, including her sister, who worked with her and other family members, Prajwal’s Karthik driver who allegedly copied the explicit clips of the Member to confirm them and refused defense arguments.
The defense claimed that the victim had never worked on the Gannikad estate and did not belong to the Revann family in 2021, when the crime was committed. He further argued that the victim was unable to communicate the date of crimes.
However, the Court concluded that the deposition of Karthika, the victim’s sisters and the son of the victim studying at the Gannikada school for three years proved that he was working there.
In addition, the contradictory impact of defense also indicated that they accepted that he was working on the farm, the court concluded. The farm has also belonged from Bhavani Revany Brother Prakasha since 2015 and in October 2021 Suraj Revanna and the family, including Prajwal, used the same, the court concludes through several witnesses.
Regarding the data of two sexual attacks, the court concluded that the victim was a rustic village, also illiterate, although perhaps not saying accurate data, was in accordance with the time of the event, because during locking Covid-19 and four years before she filed.
The court also quotes the sister of the victim who was with her when she was abused in Basavanagudi, although the victim did not marry her then.
The nurse told the court that the third day of their visit to Basavanagudi, where the victim was raped, her sister was boring and quietly claimed that they could not do anything. The court said “will be relevant due to the fact of the victim’s behavior immediately after the incident”.
