On the other hand, Senior Advocate CV Nagesh, appearing for Revanna, pointed out that the prosecution had not merely asked for cancellation of bail but were challenging the order that granted bail.
He said that the charge of kidnapping could not be sustained as the victim was not a minor. He added that the charge of abduction too did not hold as there was no element of deceit.
“She was a maid servant in the house. She was called. There was no deceit, no threat..no detention,” he said.
He further stated that was no whisper that the domestic help, the victim of rape and sexual assault in the Prajwal Revanna case, was abducted at the behest of HD Revanna or his wife.
The Court after hearing the parties reserved its order.
Revanna is also accused in a sexual assault case and he has was granted bail in that too though the same was not heard today.
