The Karnataka High Court refused to quash criminal proceedings in a female foeticide case, with Justice M Nagaprasanna stating such acts are a “moral blight and constitutional affront,” stressing strict action against those enabling illegal sex determination and foetus termination.
The Karnataka High Court ruled that the offence under Section 15 of the POCSO Act applies not only to transmitting child pornographic material but also to storing such material when there is potential for its transmission. The Court made this observation while hearing a plea seeking to quash criminal proceedings under Section 67B of the Information Technology Act and Section 15 of the POCSO Act.
The Karnataka High Court has issued notice to Google and two Sri Lankan news portals on a plea by Sri Lankan Supreme Court judge Justice AHM Dilip Nawaz seeking removal of allegedly defamatory articles. The judge invoked Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, arguing that the right to life and reputation also protects foreigners.
