Two collisions, both fatal, but Ahmedabad cops take different legal routes
1 2 3 Ahmedabad: Two crashes. Two sets of lives lost. Yet the legal paths taken by the police in each case are strikingly disparate. It could mean the difference between languishing in jail for a decade or just two years. Within three days of each other, a municipal truck driver in Jamalpur killed one man, while a teen motorist in Nehrunagar killed two scooter riders. But the charges they face under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita tell two very different stories. On Aug 7, E Division traffic police booked a municipal garbage truck driver for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The FIR says 51-year-old Yasin Barafwala died after the truck, allegedly speeding through Jamalpur Pagathia, ploughed into several parked vehicles before hitting him. The driver, Rahul Parmar, did not have a valid licence and drove recklessly. He was charged under the new BNS provision, replacing IPC Section 304 Part II, where the accused is believed to have acted with knowledge that their conduct was likely to cause death. Conviction could mean up to 10 years behind bars. By contrast, on Aug 10, N Division traffic police booked 20-year-old Rohan Soni under the lesser charge of causing death by negligent driving after his speeding car fatally struck two scooter riders in Nehrunagar. This provision, akin to IPC Section 304A, applies when death results from rash or negligent acts without knowledge of likely fatal consequences. It carries a maximum of two years' imprisonment, or a fine, or both.

Yet the differing charges mean the potential prison terms for the accused vary dramatically — from a decade to just two years. While E Division treated the truck driver's actions as "showing knowledge of likely fatal consequences", N Division charged Soni with only "negligence" , despite witness accounts, CCTV footage and his past record of traffic violations.

Man pulling hands of a woman not offence sans evidence of criminal intention: HC
1 2 Madurai: A man pulling the hands of a woman would not constitute an offence of outraging her modesty without clear evidence about his criminal intention, Madras high court has observed. Justice R N Manjula made the observations while acquitting a man who had been sentenced by a trial court to undergo three years of imprisonment for pulling the hands of a mentally retarded woman in Madurai district. Noting that the act of the accused should be coupled with criminal intention to constitute an offence, the judge said if he pulled the woman away from the centre of a road or to avoid any other accident, that cannot be considered as commission of an offence of outraging modesty. "Without any detailed and clear evidence about the intention, it cannot be presumed automatically from any generalised or vague statements given in the evidence. Such vague or generalised statements will only earn a benefit of doubt in favour of the accused as regards his criminal intention to commit the offence," said the judge. The case pertains to an appeal preferred by Murugesan (appellant) challenging the conviction and sentence imposed on him by the III additional district and sessions court (PCR) in Madurai. The case of the prosecution was that a mentally retarded unmarried woman belonging to the scheduled caste community was grazing cattle in Madurai district in May 2015. The appellant, belonging to Hindu maravar community, abused her by mentioning her caste and pulled her hands. Based on the complaint of the woman's mother, police had registered a case against him. The trial court framed charges against Murugesan under sections of SC/ST Act and 354 (Assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC. In 2018, the trial court convicted and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years. If, however, acquitted him for offences punishable under SC/ST Act. Challenging the trial court's order, he filed the present appeal in 2018. Justice Manjula observed that the trial court has recorded that the victim cannot be examined, as she was not able to answer the question put forth by the court. The mother of the victim came to know about this incident after an eyewitness informed that the appellant had pulled the hands of the victim. "The evidence of the eyewitness is contradictory and the conviction of the appellant without any corroboration, is not correct. In the absence of any other evidence as to incidental conversation, it is not known whether the accused had pulled the hands of the victim with the only intention of outraging her modesty," the judge said. She also held that the prosecution had miserably failed to prove the intention, and the trial court did not appreciate the same properly. She then set aside the order of the trial court and acquitted Murugesan from all charges. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
