Domestic Violence
Justice B Vijayasen Reddy on Friday wondered how a pending offence of domestic violence case makes a person most wanted criminal. If that was the case all the persons against whom 498-A IPC cases were pending would be branded as most wanted criminals. The judge directed the police to remove the name of petitioner from the ‘Most Wanted Criminal’ list. The petitioner challenged the action of authorities in including his name as most wanted criminal in the Crime Investigation Department list. The counsel for the petitioner complained that the petitioner was falsely implicated in the domestic violence case and that the complainant’s father influenced the police to add the petitioner’s name in the list. He told the court that petitioner lost his job in a multinational company and that he was now unable find a job in other companies. The judge disapproved the behaviour of police and held such action was arbitrary and unreasonable. He then passed interim order for removal of petitioner name from list and directed the police to file its counter.
