The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday permitted the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to submit the final report before the competent magistrate on the probe conducted into the complaint by a woman in the sex CD scandal, alleging that former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi had raped her when she had approached him for a government job when he was a Cabinet Minister.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the interim order while disposing of an application filed by the SIT seeking court’s permission to file the final report, prepared by the investigation officer (IO), before the competent magistrate.
