Limitation For Initiation Of Domestic Violence Proceedings: Revisiting The Ratio In Kamatchi

No ambiguity: Section 351 of BNS is a non-bailable offence in Tamil Nadu

Supreme Court again discouraging DV Act proceedings after a valid divorce compromise

Corroboration of testimony of child witness before a conviction is required

Prosecution has proved the case through hostile witness

The facts of the present case can be brought under exception I of Section 300 of IPC and thus is punishable u/s. 304(I) of IPC and not u/s. 302 of IPC

Recall: 70(2) CrPC: Only Revision lies against order issuing against NBW and not Crl.O.P jurisdiction [Editor’s note inside]

POCSO: Victim’s testimony before the Court is clear and cogent and almost the same as per the statement recorded u/s. 164 Cr.P.C and there has been no exaggeration or any inconsistency

Discrepancy in the use of the complainant’s fingers (two or five) to pick up the demanded money from his pocket has some bearing while considering the entire evidence

Rejecting the petition filed under section 156(3) CrPC does not prevent the police to register FIR inasmuch the poser of registering FIR flows from section 154 CrPC

Acquittal: Defence of the accused is that the deceased accidentally drowned and the post-mortem report did not suggest homicide

Alibi: Quash: The service certificate is not a disputed one thus the High Court can quash the criminal proceedings on the fact of alibi based on that certificate
