Venkat v. the State of Karnataka

Judgment of the High Court of Karnataka. The substantive body of the judgment is corrupted by a character-encoding failure: apart from the digital-signature block (signatory: Shivaleela Dattatraya Udagi; location recorded as HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA), the remaining paragraphs are either illegible or rendered in an unreadable substituted character set containing unrecoverable characters. No case number, parties, advocates, prior proceedings, statutes, cited precedents, issues, holdings, or outcome could be reliably verified from the text as supplied.
