In an urgent hearing in the judge's chamber on Saturday, the Chief Justice issued the order after noticing a news report on television
The High Court of Karnataka has restricted the stream of people visiting the Belagavi assault victim.
The woman was stripped and beaten up by a few people of her village after her son eloped with a girl. Considering the trauma she is undergoing, the HC said the continuous stream of people visiting her should be restricted.
"The visit of people to the hospital to see the victim, in the circumstances, is not unusual. This Court normally would not like to restrict the freedom of movement of any citizen; however, considering the fact that the victim has suffered unbearable trauma and she has been undergoing medical treatment, in our considered opinion, the flow of visitors is likely to affect the health condition of the victim and disturb the ongoing medical treatment as well," Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale said in his order on Saturday.
