Rajendra Yadav vs State Of U.P. Thru. Secretary Panchayat ... on 3 July, 2010

The question is as to whether if a person takes life of another person by killing him, can it be taken as offence involving moral turpitude. The matter was considered by the Apex Court in Pavan Kumar Vs. State of Haryana and others, JT 1996(5) Sc 155, and it was held that moral turpitude is an expression which is used in legal as also societal parlance and describes the conduct which is inherently base, vile deprave or having any connection showing depravity. Killing a person per see may not come within the periphery of "moral turpitude" but subjecting a woman to cruelty or killing her for, or in connection with demand of dowry, would certainly bean offence involving moral turpitude. The person who was convicted under Section 295 Indian Penal Code on its own would not involve moral turpitude depriving him the opportunity to serve the State unless the facts and circumstances which led to the conviction met the requirements of the policy decision. In this case, a person was not convicted of an offence under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code but it was observed that killing a person itself is not sufficient to establish that such an act involves moral turpitude.

10. The judgment of the trial Court shows that, it relied on the judgment in the case of Pavan Kumar and others Vs. State of Haryana, reported in AIR 1998 SC 958 to state that, dowry demand need not be the amount agreed by the parties at the time of marriage and even subsequent demands are included in the definition of the word "dowry".

Manishbhai Parsotambhai Savsani & 9 vs State Of Gujarat & on 13 November, 2014

13. So far as the other applicants are concerned I find no case against them,  except general and sweeping allegations.  It may not be out of place to mention  that over a period of time the courts have noticed the tendency of the married  woman roping in all the relatives of her husband only with a view to harass all  of them though they may not be even remotely involved in the offence alleged.  It   is   because  of   the   growing   tendency  to   involve   innocent  persons   that   the  Supreme Court in the case of Pavan Kumar Vs. State of Haryana - AIR 1998 SC  Page 5 of 6 R/CR.MA/11042/2014 CAV JUDGMENT ­958 has cautioned the courts to act with circumspection. In the words of the  Supreme Court - "Often innocent persons are also trapped or brought in with  ulterior motives and therefore, this places an arduous duty   on the court to  separate such investigation from the offenders.  Hence, the courts have to deal  such   cases   with   circumspection,   sift   through   the   evidence   with   caution,  scrutinize the circumstances with utmost caution."
