ARMS ACT

One of my friends suddenly pulls out my licensed weapon from my pocket and fires in the air during his heated argument with a 3rd person. Can i be also booked under arms act with him. I normally carry my licensed pistol with me for my safety and his act was also sudden and spontaneous without even giving me time to react or get alert or stop him.

How to enforce arrest guidelines as per "D.K. Basu Vs. State of West Bengal." landmark judgment

Sirs,

Please inform the steps that common man can take to enforce the Supreme Court of India "D.K. Basu Vs. State of West Bengal." land mark judgment.

ie memo of arrest of accused to be prepared with 1 witness, all documents including memo of arrest to be forwarded to illaka magistrate, in notice board at district head quarters names of arrested person to be displayed, etc

I am from delhi and was having anticipatory bail but was arrested and released by the sub inspector in delhi without following the mandaory guidelines and procedures as laid down in the "D.K. Basu Vs. State of West Bengal." judgment.

several round of enquiries by district vigilance, vigilance at asaf ali road, phq have recorded the fact that the same was not complied with during arrest but they are refusing to take any departmental action, departmental proceeding, file FIR or start contempt proceeding against him

they keep on exonerating him giving different grounds like he was new so did not know arrest guidelines and procedure, during training such arrest guidelines were not informed to him, police have more important work to do then filling up papers to give to illaka magistrate, etc

Also the sub inspector has prepared the two memo of arrest and conviction slip having two different dates so now as per police record I have spent 2 days in lock up.

Kindly advice what remedy is available to me as a common man, who can not afford to spend money to at laest get some justice and force delhi police to take action against the sub inspector as per provsions of law.

regards

Section 262 & section 143 confused NI & Crpc.

NI Act, 1881

Section [143. Power of Court to try cases summarily.

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) all offences under this Chapter shall be tried by a Judicial Magistrate of the first class or by a Metropolitan Magistrate and the provisions of sections 262 to 265 (both inclusive) of the said Code shall, as far as may be, apply to such trials:


Provided that in the case of any conviction in a summary trial under this section, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate to pass a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year and an amount of fine exceeding five thousand rupees:

Criminal Procedure code, 1973

262. Procedure for summary trials.


(1) In trial under this Chapter, the procedure specified in this Code for the trial of summons-case shall be followed except as hereinafter mentioned.

(2) No sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding three months shall be passed in the case of any conviction under this Chapter.















query :

As per section 143 of the NI Act, 1881 it has been said that all the provisions of section 262 to 264 is inclusive is applicable so as per section 262 of the crpc if the case is trial under summary manner than minimum sentence is for 3 months right & as per the abovementioned section 143 of the NI act, 1881 it should not exceed 1 year so form the reading of both the section we can say that the minimum sentence should be of 3 months & maxmium of 1 year for any offence made under NI Act i am right ?

So can we also say that as per sction 262 of the crpc the trial under NI act are always a summons case ONLY ?

It has been said that under section 262 (2) of the crpc , 1973 sentence should not exceed 3 months ? so why section 143 of the NI ac say that it can be extend by the magistrate if deem fit to exten to 1 year so which will prevail whether section 262(2) of the Crpc or section 143 of the NIact, 1881.

2) As per section 2 of the crpc it has been said that any case which is not a warrant case is a summon case so as per the IPC is any offence is punishable for less than 2 years are called as a summons case right ?

Thanks.

3) as it is a criminal appeal why it has mentioned applicnt & respondent ? because it comes under the civil & not under the criminal cases & this is though appeal before the SC so why it has been written not understood ?

4)as we read the brief para on starting of the judgment known as a (Brief)

Brief
All the accused-appellants stood convicted by the Sessions Judge, Kollam by its judgment dated 16.7.2002 for various offences punishable

so that all th accused-appellant stood convicted by the SJ dated 16.7.2002 so why this many number & also on different year

K. P. Thimmappa Gowda Versus State of Karnataka




Judgement


Reportable


IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1499 OF 2004

K. P. Thimmappa Gowda .. Appellant

-versus-

State of Karnataka .. Respondent

J U D G M E N T


MARKANDEY KATJU, J.

1. This appeal has been filed against the impugned judgment dated 17.9.2004 passed by the High Court of Karnataka in Criminal Appeal No. 149 of 1999.



2. The facts of the case have been stated in the impugned judgment of the High Court and the trial court and we are not repeating the same except where necessary.



3. The trial court had acquitted the appellant in the criminal case, but the High Court reversed the judgment and convicted the appellant under Section 2376 IPC and sentenced him to imprisonment of 7 years and a fine of Rs. 10,000/-, and also sentenced him to imprisonment of 1 year under Section 417 IPC and a fine of Rs. 10,000/-, both sentences to run concurrently.



4. The case of the prosecution is that on 4.1.1996 the appellant raped one Rathnamma aged 18 years, but he assured her that he would marry her and asked her to keep quiet. It is alleged that subsequently also the appellant had sex with Rathnamma several times and assured her that he would marry her. Rathnamma became pregnant, but the appellant refused to marry her. Hence an FIR was registered in the police station on 4.1.1996 against the appellant under Section 376 IPC.



5. In the trial court the appellant contended that Rathnamma was 20 years of age at the relevant time and she had admitted in her cross-examination that she had sexual intercourse with the appellant nearly 100 times. It was submitted that this showed that she was a consenting party and hence no case under Section 376 IPC is made out against the appellant. Rathnamma's mother Gowramma PW-11 stated in her evidence that Rathnamma was 18 years of age. Hence she was above 16 years of age and there could be no rape since there was consent.



6. The trial court accordingly held that there was no rape as Rathnamma was above 16 years of age and had consented to the act. Subsequently Rathnamma gave birth to a female child on 25.1.1996.



7. The trial court held that the version of Rathnamma that the appellant gagged her mouth and raped her is not believable. The fact that her child was born on 25.1.1996 means that the conception was in the month of April, 1995. This was disclosed to her parents somewhere in the month of July or August in 1995 and there was a Panchayat which failed.



8. The complaint was filed on 4.1.1996 i.e. just a few days before the birth of the child and not when the sexual act had taken place. Thus there was a delay of over months in filing the complaint which has not been properly explained.



9. For the reasons given above, the trial court disbelieved the prosecution version and acquitted the appellant.



10. In the appeal filed by the State Government the High court reversed the finding of the trial court and held that the appellant had raped Rathnamma and had promised to marry her. It was observed that since the accused had given the impression that he would honour his promise of marrying her, this fact was not disclosed by her to anybody, including her mother.



11. Admittedly, the appellant has married another woman. We are of the opinion that the appellant deserves the benefit of doubt because on careful consideration of the evidence on record, it cannot be said that the prosecution has been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.



12. In criminal cases, the rule is that the accused is entitled to the benefit of doubt. If the court is of the opinion that on the evidence two views are reasonably possible, one that the appellant is guilty, and the other that he is innocent, then the benefit of doubt goes in favour of the accused.



13. In the present case, the facts are that Rathnamma herself stated in her evidence that she had sex with the appellant on several occasions. It is also an admitted fact that the FIR against the appellant was lodged just a few days before the birth of Rathnamma's child, which means there is delay of over 8 months in lodging the FIR. The finding of the trial court, which has not been disturbed by the High Court, is that Rathnamma was about 18 years of age at the relevant time. On these facts a view is reasonably possible that Rathnamma had sex with the appellant with her consent and hence there was 5no offence under Section 376 IPC because sex with a woman above 16 years of age with her consent is not rape.



14. For the reasons given above, the appeal is allowed. The impugned judgment and order of the High court is set aside



15. Apart from the above, the appellant has stated in an affidavit filed in this Court that he has agreed to transfer two acres of land situated in Palavanahalli due to breach of promise to marry Rathnamma and she has given her consent to accept the same.



16. The appellant is directed to give/transfer two acres of land as stated in the affidavit filed before Court to Rathnamma within three months from the date of this judgment.


Question :

1) as it was a case u/s 417 (cheating) so can we say that point no. 16 exemplary cost is awarded by the court ?

2) as per point no. 3 the amount mentioned as a fine should be deposited in the goverment treasure which is not refundable right but what is the time limit ? also any fine imposed by the court but not mentioned in the judgment that till when the fine should be deposited than what will be the time limit asper IPC.

3)also as per point no. 3 it has been mentioned in the judgment that (both sentences to run concurrently) so the convicted will go for 7 years as a imprisonment & after completing the 7 years he will again go for 1 year imprisonment right or wrong pls explain me with the illustration as per this case law which has been posted above.

4)in the begining of the judgment it has been mentioned (CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1499 OF 2004) so it means the case no 1499 of the year 2004 right but where it has been said that u have to mentioned or right that it is a this no of case in that particular year. so if the year 2005 arise & the 1/1/xxxxx the judgment give by the SC judge will be 1 of 2005 right ? also this no's are written when the case s heard or when the case is closed after the final hearing & the judgment is given.

5)at last it has mentioned

................................J. (Markandey Katju)

................................J. (Gyan Sudha Misra)

so it is a judge name & if yes that it is a divisional bench judgment right because no were it has been mentioned that it is a divisonal bench judgment or full bench ?

6)as i have heard that ifthe judgment shows the fine amount than it is a decree other wise it is a judgment to became a decree the judgement copy should show the fine amount is it right ? if wrong than how to know that it is a judgment copy or a decree copy ?

Thanks do give me the answer do request
