INTERPOL ABUSE MONITOR 👁️👁️’s Post

Excited to share our latest article (https://lnkd.in/gbpwa6-e), where we explore the significant shift in India's new criminal laws, which now place greater emphasis on deterrence and retribution rather than reformative justice. While some progressive changes like community service for petty offences have been introduced, there are growing concerns about the harsher punishments, especially for crimes against women, children, and terrorism. This shift raises important questions about the balance between justice, fairness, and the potential for arbitrary enforcement. We would love to hear your thoughts on this evolving landscape of criminal justice.

The Calcutta High Court, in its recent ruling, declared that referring to an unfamiliar woman as ‘darling’ constitutes an offensive act and qualifies as a sexually colored remark under Section 354A(i) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). This section specifically addresses and penalizes sexually colored remarks. Single-judge Justice Jay Sengupta at the Port Blair bench affirmed the conviction of Janak Ram, who, while intoxicated and apprehended, addressed a female police officer with the question, “kya darling, challan karne aayi hai kya?” (Hey darling, have you come to impose a fine?). Janak Ram was the appellant/convict in this case, while the lady police officer served as the complainant. Justice Sengupta referenced Section 354A of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains to outraging the modesty of a woman, and emphasized that this provision encompasses the penalization of the use of sexually colored remarks. . .

Indira Jaising, a prominent lawyer, has raised concerns about the implementation of the new criminal laws in India. Transitional Laws: Jaising questioned if the laws are still under development, implying a lack of clarity and potential for changes. Fresh Look by New Government: She believes a new government should re-evaluate the laws to ensure they deliver justice for both victims and accused. Increased Litigation: Jaising warns that the new laws might lead to a 30% rise in criminal litigation, overwhelming the already burdened judicial system. Her comments highlight the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of the recently implemented criminal justice reforms in India. for further reference you can refer to the attachment link. https://lnkd.in/g32pWStG Garima Gunjan Shaik Raffi Satyam Gautam 🇮🇳 Pushpita Mitra Yashodhara Pattanaik

Honourable Supreme Court of India has held that where a woman does not “consent” to the sexual acts then the offence of rape has occurred. It is held that Section 90 of the Indian Penal Code,1860 does not define the term “consent”, however a “consent” based on a “misconception of fact” is not consent in the eye of the law, hence sexual act without consent is Deemed Rape.   Abhijit Mishra #supremecourt #highcourt #law #legal #lawyer #crime #criminal #police #prosecutor #prosecution #litigation #India

~ State of Mizoram v. Lalramliana and Anr Justice Kaushik Goswami explained that the offence of penetrative sexual assault is established the moment there is any degree of insertion, even if it is a superficial insertion which may not necessarily cause injuries or bruises to the victim’s body. The Court observed while dealing with a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act), wherein a man was accused of inserting his finger into a 13-year-old's vagina. A trial court had earlier acquitted the accused after noting a medical officer’s report that there were no genital injuries on the victim to indicate that she had been subjected to penetrative sexual assault. The Court also observed that a 13-year-old girl would not ordinarily lie about being subjected to such sexual assault and that her version of events can be relied upon without further corroboration if it appears trustworthy, credible, unblemished of sterling quality and if it inspires confidence. The High Court proceeded to set aside the trial court’s decision to acquit the accused by giving him the benefit of the doubt. However, the High Court did not proceed to convict the accused upon noticing that the trial court had framed charges wrongly. Instead of framing a charge for aggravated penetrative sexual assault (punishable with a minimum sentence of 20 years in jail) under Section 5 (n) (sexual assault by a relative or a person living in the same shared household) of the POCSO Act, the trial court had cited a charge of penetrative sexual assault under Sec 4 (which is punishable with a minimum sentence of 10 years in jail). Therefore, the High Court remanded the matter back to the trial court; The trial court was ordered to conclude the trial in 3 months. #gauhati #pocso #minor #supremecourtofindia #indianjudiciary #lawyer #advocate #vakeelsaab #lawnmaintenance #legalknowledge #judiciary #lawexam #judiciaryexams #indianconstitution #lawstudent #legaleducation #streetdogsofindia #constitutionofindia #highcourt #legalupdates #legalnews #legalfacts #legalservices #indianlawupdates #streetdogs #indianlaw #lawstudent #law #lawschool #supremecourt #students

The phrase “Justice delayed is justice denied” is often used to emphasize the importance of timely and efficient delivery of justice. But what if the person has to wait for a longer period of time just to attain justice? While talking about new criminal law reform bills, Delhi High Court Advocate Naginder Benipal said that the provision of time-bound investigation and trial in the new laws will pave the way for timely justice. As per the new provisions in criminal laws, charge sheets will now have to be filed in 180 days and the magistrate will have to take cognisance of it in 14 days. More to this, a woman can lodge e-FIRs, cognisance of which will be taken and arrangements have been made to provide a reply at her home within two days. More to that, victims can now go to any police station and lodge a zero FIR and it will have to be compulsorily transferred to the police station concerned within 24 hours. A police officer has been designated in every district and police station to prepare a list of the arrested people and inform their relatives Notably, the three new criminal laws replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, 1860; the Code of Criminal Procedure Act, 1898; and the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, respectively. . .
