| New Delhi, July 25: Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju believes that cases cannot be decided on the basis on law alone and at times there is need to apply commonsense to extricate the truth from the web of legal intricacies.
The other day the court headed by Justice Katju was hearing a case involving the rape of a minor. Even as the counsel for the accused forcefully presented his arguments, Justice Katju asked him how his defence could stand the scrutiny of commonsense.
Which mother would go to town levelling false allegation that her minor daughter has been raped, knowing well that it would jeopardize her child's future? Having raised this question, Justice Katju still set the accused free of the charge of rape as medical evidence gave him an unequivocal clean chit. (IANS) |
