06 Sep 2019 05:02 pm
Karnataka HC issues guidelines to lower courts ask them to provide appropriate compensation to victims, as per provisions of CrPC, considering the gravity of offence and paying capacity of accused.
The Karnataka High Court has issued guidelines to trial court judges to follow in letter and spirit provisions under section 357 and 357 A of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and award appropriate compensation to victims of crime.
A division bench of Justice Ravi Malimath and Justice H P Sandesh while reversing an order of acquittal passed by the sessions court, reduced the sentence of two years imposed on the accused to six months, but increased the fine from Rs 1,000 to Rs 50,000 each. The bench while hearing the state appeal against the acquittal of Vishwanatha Devadiga and Bhavani Devadiaga said "While imposing punishment courts should not only keep in view the rights of criminals, but also the rights of victims and society at large."
