As of April 4, 2025, there are no recent news reports indicating that a judge has reprimanded Karnataka police officers for bringing a murdered woman to court. However, there have been notable instances where the judiciary has criticized law enforcement in Karnataka for their handling of cases involving women:
- Belagavi Assault Case (December 2023): The Karnataka High Court took suo motu cognizance of a distressing incident in Belagavi district, where a woman was allegedly assaulted, paraded naked, and tied to an electric pole after her son eloped with a girl. The court expressed strong dissatisfaction with the police’s failure to prevent the incident and summoned the Police Commissioner to provide a detailed status report on the investigation.
- Misogynistic Remarks by Karnataka High Court Judge (September 2024): Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda of the Karnataka High Court faced criticism for making divisive and misogynistic comments during court proceedings. The Supreme Court of India took suo motu cognizance of these remarks and sought a report from the Karnataka High Court on the matter.
- Suspension of Kamasamudra Circle Inspector (July 2023): An inspector was suspended for dereliction of duty in handling an ‘honour killing’ case, where a man allegedly killed his daughter for being in a relationship with a Dalit youth. The inspector was criticized for not following proper procedures during the investigation.
