KUNJAN SASIDHARAN Vs. ALLI RADHA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS too is the case of a sad story of a deceived damsel.

(2.) RADHA, a young Harijan girl belonging to the Kurava community, had as her neighbour, Sasidharan. Sasidharan served in the military. Earlier acquaintance which later developed as intimacy, gave access to each other. Sasidharan had come home on leave in 1974. There were physical contacts and the resultant birth of a child. The child was born in 1975.

(3.) SASIDHARAN had a lurking apprehension about a photograph in the custody of the girl, one in which both had posed together in the rosy romantic days. That was felt to be an inconvenient document, when the man decided to shift his stand and forget the girl. A complaint was given by him about the theft of a photograph. That was inquired into, with presumably a harrowing experience for the Harijan girl. The police ultimately, however, referred the case.
