Sexual harassment case: Bengaluru special court discharges H.D. Revanna from charges citing unexplained delay of over four years in lodging complaint
Delay in justice and potential abuse of power by a powerful figure are concerning.
A special court in Bengaluru has discharged H.D. Revanna, former minister and JD(S) leader, of the allegation of sexually harassing a former maid. The court found that both the complainant and prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence for the alleged offense under Section 354A (sexual harassment), citing a delay of over four years in lodging the complaint. The court also noted that the woman's claim of fear due to Revanna's political power was not substantiated, as she had previously lodged complaints against him regarding his actions related to her demolished house.
