The Karnataka High Court recently stayed a matter related to a complaint registred by the cat owner who accused a neighbour of keeping it in his home in Anekal near Bengaluru.

The proceedings in the matter were stayed by a bench consisting of Justice M Nagaprasanna, who reviewed the case.

According to the complaint of the cat owner, the cat, Daisy, had gone missing while playing around the walls of the neighbour houses. The woman complaint the cat was being kidnapped by a neighbour in their house, and it was captured in CCTV camera.

She registered the complaint challenging the neighbour under the Indian Penal Code sections regarding intentional insult, criminal intimidation, and insulting the modesty of a woman.

The counsel for the accused neighbour claimed it was very normal for cats to go in and out of windows, and allowing further proceedings for vague complaints would tend to clog the judicial system.

A chargesheet had also been filed by the police over this matter.

The court directed, “There shall be an interim order of stay of the further proceedings… till the disposal of the petition.”
