Ramakatha singer rape case: HC rejects objection of swamiji
Bengaluru, September 11: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday rejected the objection of Raghaveshwara Bharati Swamiji of Ramachandrapura Mutt of Hosanagar that a number of evidences collected by the investigating officers in the rape case of Ramakatha singer were not submitted to the trial courts while filing FIR.
Single Bench of the HC headed by Justice R.B Budihal rejected the interim petition of the swamiji who requested the court to direct the investigating officers to produce those records before the court.
The High Court on Tuesday heard the petitions filed by the Prosecution and the victim separately questioning the trial court’s order to drop the swamiji from the rape case. During the hearing, the advocate, appearing for the swamiji, appealed to the Bench, which rejected the request. It also said that criminal review petition filed by the victim is fit for the hearing. Already, the trial court has dropped the accused from the case. Now it is not fair to request the review of the evidences, the judge said and posted the further hearing to September 17.

'Shocked' SC summons police commissioner, IO on Apr 13 in Ghaziabad rape-murder case of minor
New Delhi (PTI): Expressing deep shock, the Supreme Court on Friday intervened in the harrowing rape-murder case of a four-year-old girl in Ghaziabad and summoned the police commissioner and the investigating officer on April 13 with the case records.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi took note of the submissions of senior lawyer N Hariharan, appearing for the victim's father, a daily wager, and expressed its displeasure over the manner in which the state police had conducted the investigation so far in the case.
The CJI lambasted the state police and two private hospitals, which refused to treat the girl before she succumbed to her injuries post-alleged rape, for their "complete indifference" and "insensitive approach".
On March 16, the victim was allegedly lured away by a neighbour on the pretext of buying chocolates and when the child did not return, a search led the father to find her lying unconscious and covered in blood. She later succumbed to her injuries at a government hospital in Ghaziabad.
