Brinda Karat, Member, Polit Bureau of Communist Party of India (Marxist) had written the following letter to the Chief Justice of India on the observations that the CJI made into different cases yesterday. I write to you in connection with the comments reportedly made by you in two cases in open court.
The first is in in the case of a bail petition appeal by the rapist of a then minor girl student of Class 9, against the decision of the Aurangabad bench of the Maharashtra High Court which denied him bail, overturning the lower courts decision.The second case relates to the comments reportedly made in the case of a bail petition hearing of a man who had sexual intercourse with a woman on the false promise that he would marry her. Under the law, this constitutes rape.
