The State of Karnataka and Ors. v. Babu Chalwadi

What is this about?

Judgment text is severely corrupted (encoding/glyph-extraction failure): nearly all paragraph bodies are unreadable replacement-character noise. Only recoverable datum is the court identity, HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA, taken from the digital-signature block at para 23 ('Digitally signed by VARSHA N RASALKAR / Location: HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA'). No case number, parties, advocates, procedural history, statutes, cited cases, issues, holdings, disposition or amounts could be verified verbatim; all such fields are left empty/null rather than guessed.
