Mahalakshmi vs State Of Tamilnadu on 14 July, 2011

25.In such circumstances, the trial Court must consider all the aspects in a proper prospective with great care and caution. At this juncture, I have considered the decision relied upon by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in Satya Narayan Tiwari and another V. State of Uttar Pradesh reported in 2010 AIR SCW 7144, wherein, the Apex Court has that crimes against women are not ordinary crimes committed in a fit of anger or for property. They are social crimes. They disrupt the entire social fabric. Hence, they call for harash punishment. Unfortunately, what is happeneing in our society is that out of lust for money, people are often demanding dowry and after extracting as much money as they can they kill the wife and marry again and then again they commit the murder of their wife for the same purpose. This is because of total commercialization of our society and lust for money which induces people to commit murder of the wife. The time has come when we have to stamp out this evil from our society, with an iron hand.

(21) In the present case the depravity of the convicts Vinod, Angoori Devi and Shalu, particularly of the convict Manoj who were St. vs. Manoj Kumar Etc., FIR No.383/07, PS Nangloi Page No. 275 under a moral and legal obligation to provide emotional, psychological and financial security to Anita (wife of Manoj), was not only confined to the unabated domestic violence which they had been inflicting upon Anita during the period of subsistence of the marriage (between Manoj and Anita), but also got compounded by the fact that they were throughout exploiting Anita financially by usurping her salary and it is Manoj who ultimately became the cause of her death when he mercilessly and brutally inflicted repeated blows on her body with a blunt object/ Thapi, one of which blows was on the forehead as a result of which Anita immediately slipped into Coma and expired. What further aggravates his conduct is the fact that instead of providing her with immediate medical attention and first aid by rushing her to the nearest hospital he rather chose to take her to RML Hospital which is more than 45 minutes away from her house thereby ensuring her death.
