Woman techie slaps BMTC conductor, lands in judicial custody
Woman techie slaps BMTC conductor, lands in judicial custody
It was supposed to be a short, uneventful ride on a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) Volvo bus for Swati Nigam, a techie, on Saturday. Instead it turned out to be a trip right to prison — all because she allegedly lost her temper over a very trivial issue.
It was supposed to be a short, uneventful ride on a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) Volvo bus for Swati Nigam, a techie, on Saturday. Instead it turned out to be a trip right to prison — all because she allegedly lost her temper over a very trivial issue.
Swati, a native of Uttar Pradesh who works for Accenture in the
city, was on her way to Marathalli and had boarded a Volvo (Route No.
500D) near Echo Space on the Outer Ring Road in Sarjapur. According to
the police, she asked the conductor C Manjaiah, for a ticket. Manjaiah
asked her to pay Rs 25, but since the distance was barely 4km, Swati
objected and demanded an explanation. Manjaiah explained to her that the
fare was Rs 25 if she alighted after the Marathalli Bridge, but the
fare was only Rs 15 if she got down before the bridge. He told her that
the stage changes after the bridge and that there is an increase of Rs
10 in fare for every stage.
Swati appeared satisfied with the explanation and told the
conductor that she would alight before the bridge. She asked for a Rs 15
ticket and gave the conductor a Rs 100 note. BMTC conductors suffer
from a perennial problem of lack of small change and Manjaiah appeared
no different. Manjaiah told Swati he did not have change and asked her
to get change while he attended to other passengers.
When Manjaiah returned after a trip around the bus, Swati still
didn’t have change. Manjaiah told her to pay the minimum fare of Rs 10
and to get down at the next stop. This triggered an argument between the
two. Swati refused to pay since she was, quite literally, being forced
off the bus. The conductor retorted that she should not have boarded the
bus if she didn’t have the exact fare.
According to the police, Manjaiah then broke out into Kannada, and
Swati, under the impression that he was abusing her, resorted to
violence. She slapped the conductor, hitting him on his right ear and
followed up by clawing him. The driver, realising an altercation had
broken out, locked the doors and, on the advice of other passengers,
drove to the nearest police station.
At the HAL police station, statements of both parties were recorded
as were the statements of four other passengers. The passengers blamed
Swati for starting the row and accused her of bad behaviour. A case of
assault and obstructing a government servant was registered against
Swati. Manjaiah was sent for a medical examination which confirmed an
injury to his ear and temporary loss of hearing. He also had suffered
bruises from scratching. Swati was then taken to a magistrate's house
who remanded her to 15 days judicial custody.
A depressed and disconsolate Swati was taken to Parappana Agrahara
Central prison. Jail authorities say she spent most of Saturday night
and Sunday weeping and had refused to eat.
“Passengers should cooperate with the bus crew,” said KM Auradkar,
BMTC Volvo divisional controller. “Small issues like this need to be
sorted out . We will conduct an in-house inquiry on this issue.''
A friend of Swati, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed
Manjaiah’s conduct was wholly unjustified. “When the conductor said he
had no change and Swati agreed to get down, the conductor should not
have insisted on her paying the Rs 10 minimum fare,” the friend said.
“If she had change, she would have paid Rs 15 and continued the journey.
From where will she get change? The conductor and some commuters
misbehaved with Swati and provoked her by making comments in Kannada.
She too has been assaulted. Once she is out of jail, we will register a
complaint against the conductor and the driver.''
Manjaiah, however, claims the allegations that he and the driver
had assaulted Swati were untrue and an afterthought. “If she was
assaulted on board, she should have stated it before the police or the
magistrate,” Manjaiah said.
बिन शादी के रही पत्नी की तरह, अब किया रेप का केस
बिन शादी के रही पत्नी की तरह, अब किया रेप का केस
बिन फेरे, हम तेरे। मेट्रो सिटी की तर्ज पर अब अपने शहर में भी यह चलन शुरू हो गया है।
उत्तर प्रदेश के मुरादाबाद में एक नामी कालेज के छात्र-छात्रा के बीच दो साल तक लिव-इन रिलेशन रहा और जब शादी की बात आई तो विवाद शुरू हो गया। मामला थाने पहुंचा।
छात्रा ने अपने रूममेट के खिलाफ बलात्कार का मुकदमा दर्ज कराया है। मामले को निपटाने के लिए कालेज प्रशासन के लोग भी पहुंचे, लेकिन छात्रा टस से मस नहीं हुई। युवक को पुलिस ने हिरासत में ले लिया है।
मूल रूप से सुल्तानपुर जिले की रहने वाली एक युवती मुरादाबाद के एक शिक्षण संस्थान से एमएससी कर रही है। करीब दो साल पहले वह संस्थान के दूसरे कालेज में पढ़ने वाले एमसीए फाइनल इयर के छात्र अभिषेक पाल निवासी लखनऊ के संपर्क में आई।
दोनों एक दूसरे के करीब आए और फिर मिलन विहार कालोनी के एक घर में किराए का कमरा लेकर पति-पत्नी की तरह रहने लगे।
समाज की नजरों में भी दोनों खुद को पति और पत्नी बताने लगे। लेकिन कुछ दिन पहले दोनों में टकराव शुरू हो गया। छात्रा शादी की जिद करने लगी तो छात्र ने इंकार कर दिया।
इसके बाद छात्रा ने शादी का झांसा देकर अपने साथ बलात्कार का आरोप लगाते हुए मझोला थाने में तहरीर दी। पुलिस ने छात्र को हिरासत में ले लिया।
सूचना पर संस्थान के अधिकारी भी थाने पहुंचे और समझाने का प्रयास किया, लेकिन युवती नहीं मानी। परिजनों ने भी समझाने की कोशिश की। समझौता नहीं होने पर पुलिस ने छात्रा का मेडिकल कराने की तैयारी शुरू कर दी। एसओ मझोला ने बताया कि आरोपी को हिरासत में लिया गया है। जांच की जा रही है।

बलात्कारी को फोन कर कहा, मुझसे शादी कर लो
बलात्कारी को फोन कर कहा, मुझसे शादी कर लो
मध्यप्रदेश के इंदौर शहर में एक अजीब सा मामला सामने आया जहां 18 साल की लड़की ने जिला कोर्ट में कहा कि उसकी शादी उसके दुष्कर्म के आरोपी से ही करा दी जाए।
लड़की का कहना था कि उसके मां-बाप एक अधेड़ से उसकी शादी करवा रहे हैं इससे बेहतर है कि मैं अपने दुष्कर्मी से शादी कर लूं।
इंदौर में गौरी नगर की 18 वर्षीय युवती मंगलवार को कोर्ट आई। एक वकील की मदद से फोन कर उसने अपने दुष्कर्म के आरोपी भगवान करण सिंह को बुलाया।
जब वह वहां पहुंचा तो लड़की ने पूरी बात बताई और उससे कहा कि मुझसे शादी कर लो। जब भगवान ने शादी की बात सुनी तो उसने हां कर दी।
भगवान का कहना है कि भले ही मुझ पर दुष्कर्म का आरोप लगा है लेकिन मैं इसे अपनी प्रेमिका मानता हूं। और इस तरह दोनों शादी के लिए राजी हो गए।
मां-बाप के दबाव में आकर लगाया था दुष्कर्म का आरोप
भगवान सिंह पर फरवरी 2013 में दुष्कर्म का आरोप लगा था। मामला कोर्ट में विचाराधीन है और भगवान को जमानत पर रिहा कर दिया है। मामले में पेच यह है कि अब शादी करते वक्त लड़की का कहना यह है कि उसने मां-बाप के दबाव में आकर यह आरोप लगाया था।

Man clubs wife to death, hangs himself
Man clubs wife to death, hangs himself
BANGALORE: A 64-year-old man clubbed his wife to death with a stick used to prepare ragi balls and then hanged himself in their residence near Mahalakshmi Layout on Tuesday morning. She was a private financier and entrepreneur and the couple often fought over her chit fund dealings and brusque way of recovering money.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a heated argument broke out between D Nanjappa Dasappa and Shashikala in the morning and he hit her on the head. "Shashikala, in her fifties, sustained serious skull injuries and died on the spot. Nanjappa panicked and hanged himself," deputy commissioner of police (North) Sandeep Patil said.
The couple is survived by son Manjunath and two married daughters, Devika and Dhanalakshmi.
Moolah rage?
Nanjappa Dasappa didn't like his wife Shashikala doing the money-lending business. And Shashikala allegedly taunted her husband that the family was prosperous, thanks to her business.
He spoke to daughter before ending life
Manjunath Nanjappa teaches mathematics at Christ University.
Nanjappa is a former ITI employee. Close relatives told police that Nanjappa didn't like his wife being in the money-lending business. He was upset about the way she recovered money from debtors and chit fund deals with women in the neighbourhood and said it was unbecoming of their family. Shashikala also allegedly taunted her husband on how her business had made the family prosperous and he did not contribute anything, police were told.
Devika was in tears when she recalled her father's phone call around 10.30am. "His trembling voice told me something was wrong and I rushed home to the tragedy," she said. Manjunath and his younger sister, Dhanalakshmi, shocked by the events, refused to say anything.
Sugandhini Malatesh, their neighbour in Srikanteshwaranagar, said the old couple fought often but the clashes never reached this level. "They lived on the first floor and rented out the ground floor," she said.
According to Manjunath's wife Pavithra, her in-laws had asked her to visit her mother's home in Peenya in the morning. "They were arguing and after my husband left around 8am, I took my three-year-old son to my parents' house. I came to know about the tragedy only when my husband called me about it," she said.
The last words
Minutes before ending his life, Nanjappa called Devika, who works with a private hospital in Malleswaram. "I have kept all the gold inside a bag and you take it all. I may not call you again ever," he said, before ending the call.
Devika thought her father may have been miffed after one of his usual scraps with her mother and rushed home to check if all was well. When she reached the house around 11am, she saw the main door slightly open. She was shocked to find her mother lying dead in the hall and father hanging from the ceiling fan in the bedroom.
There was blood splattered all over the hall and the ragi ball stick too had blood stains. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Man-clubs-wife-to-death-hangs-himself/articleshow/21499519.cms

High court alert on 498A
High court alert on 498A
The high court on Thursday observed that
some women were abusing IPC Section 498A to harass those the clause
aims to protect them from — husbands and in-laws.
Justice K.S.
Ahluwalia made the observation while quashing criminal charges against
Mita Bhaduri and her husband Tapan, who were fearing arrest in
connection with a case under section 498A (cruelty by husband or
relatives of husband) lodged by her sister-in-law Maumita Maitra.
“The proceedings
against the petitioners (Mita and Tapan) will be an abuse of the process
of law. The FIR, along with all proceedings against the petitioners, is
quashed,” Justice Ahluwalia said in his three-page order.
Quoting a Supreme
Court ruling, Justice Ahluwalia said: “The ultimate object of justice is
to find out the truth and punish the guilty and protect the innocent.
The tendency of implicating all immediate relations is also not
uncommon. The courts have to be extremely careful and cautious while
dealing with these complaints and must take pragmatic matrimonial
cases.”
Legal experts in
the city welcomed Justice Ahluwalia’s view, which they said had
highlighted the tendency of a section of women and their family members
to misuse article 498A and lodge false complaints against in-laws.
“If a woman lodges
a complaint of torture against her husband or any of her in-laws within
seven years of marriage, police will have to arrest the accused first.
No investigation is needed to arrest the accused or family members. Many
women misuse the law to falsely implicate their husbands and in-laws,”
said lawyer and former mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya.
Maumita, a
resident of Khardah, on the northern fringes of the city, had married
Atanu in December 2002. The couple, who had been living at Atanu’s house
in Sodepur, have two daughters — Arunima, 7, and Archisha, 5.
In December 2012, Maumita had lodged a complaint of torture against her husband, sister-in-law Mita and her husband Tapan.
Mita and Tapan —
the couple got married in 1983 — live at Sinthee, around 12km from
Atanu’s house. They moved a petition in the high court, seeking quashing
of the proceedings against them.
The couple’s
lawyer Debabrata Chatterjee submitted: “Maumita had complained that she
had been regularly subjected to mental and physical torture by my
clients. Is it possible? Mita and her husband have their own family. Why
will they go to Sodepur regularly and torture Maumita?”
The judge
observed: “It’s a fact that Mita and Tapan lived far way from the
complainant’s house. The sister, who got married 19 years before her
brother’s wedding, had nothing to do with the brother’s matrimonial
affairs.”

Shooting begins for '498A - The Misuse'
Shooting begins for '498A - The Misuse'
Sameer Sinha will begin shooting his bilingual, '498A — The Misuse' , with Romit Raj, Kanchana Moitra, Moubani Sorcar and Sania Chaudhury
In recent times, some online forums had debated the need of a film that speaks about the misuse of IPC-498 A. The latest news is that a bilingual film on this subject is being made out of Kolkata. Titled "498A — The Misuse", the film will highlight the way some women in urban India are taking refuge in the law to harass men. The film will be made in Hindi and English and will be shot in Kolkata and Pune. Starring Romit Raj in the lead, the film also marks the non-Bengali language film debut of Kanchana Moitra and Moubani Sorcar.
Incidentally, the Supreme Court, reacting to a writ filed in 2005 (Sushilkumar Sharma v/s Union of India), had termed misuse of 498A as legal terrorism. It is this menace that director Sameer Sinha wants to highlight through the film.
While the laws were formulated to actually help oppressed women of rural India, today there is a large section of men who are harassed by the misuse of the laws by women in urban India. What does a man do if he is falsely implicated by 498A? What happens to a man if he is trapped in a bad marriage? While doing the research, I found that there are thousands of victims who have never been addressed. It's an academic subject and has hardly been addressed by anyone. Our film is about what a man or his family ought to do if he finds himself in such a situation," Sameer says.
Incidentally, the story is about a young couple (Romit and Sania Chaudhury) who fall in love. But once the marriage turns bitter , Romit wants to come out of the marriage . But Sania misuses 498A to trap Romit. The film is about how Romit tries to come out of the mess. "I wanted someone who is fresh but has worked in the industry. In this film, Moubani is playing Romit's saviour. While I had auditioned a lot of girls in Kolkata, it was only Moubani who fit the bill at the screen test. Sania, who is from Kolkata and is now working in Telugu film industry, plays Romit's wife. I liked Kanchana's work in "Bye Bye Bangkok" and, hence, cast her. Through the film, I want to tell the youth that it's good to know the person well before taking the plunge. Otherwise, the legal system is such that it might unnecessarily make one pay a heavy price for it." Says Kanchana, who plays a psychopath in the film, "Some of my friends from the film industry have been victims of the misuse of this law. I have seen how they've suffered silently. Since this film will convey a very serious message, I was more than eager to be a part of this venture. In the movie, I play a loner, who has a negative influence on her sister and helps her to legally plot against her brother-in-law . I am comfortable speaking Hindi and with a language coach on board, I see no problems doing this bilingual movie."
Shooting for the film will begin in Kolkata on April 17. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/news-interviews/Shooting-begins-for-498A--The-Misuse/articleshow/7881860.cms?intenttarget=no

पत्नी की किचकिच पर हुआ तलाक तो नहीं मिलेगा गुजारा भत्ता
पत्नी की किचकिच पर हुआ तलाक तो नहीं मिलेगा गुजारा भत्ता
दिल्ली (ब्यूरो)। यदि आप अपनी पत्नी की चिकचिक और अन्य कारणों से
परेशान हैं तो आप को यह खबर जरूर राहत देगी। जिसमें मुंबई की एक जिला अदालत
ने एक ऐतिहासिक फैसला सुनाते हुए पत्नी को गुजारा भत्ता देने से इंकार कर
दिया है। कोर्ट ने घरेलू हिंसा कानून के बढ़ते दुरुपयोग के तहत यह फैसला
सुनाया है।
सूत्रों के अनुसार, 28 अगस्त को अपने दिए गए फैसले में अपर सत्र न्यायाधीश
एपी रघुवंशी ने माना कि घरेलू हिंसा अधिनियम, 2005 के तहत पत्नी किसी राहत
की हकदार नहीं है। मुंबई में अनिल और राधा (परिवर्तित नाम) की 29 अप्रैल,
2002 को हिंदू रीति-रिवाज से शादी हुई थी। विवाह के 15 महीने बाद पति ने
हिंदू विवाह अधिनियम, 1955 की धारा 13(1) के तहत क्रूरता के आधार पर
बांद्रा में तलाक की याचिका दर्ज की।
याचिका में अनिल ने अपनी पत्नी पर झगड़ा करने औऱ अशिष्ट व्यवहार करने का
आरोप लगाया। अनिल का कहना था कि पत्नी के बुरे बर्ताव के कारण ही उनके
संबंधों में दूरी आई। उसके बाद कोर्ट ने काउंसलरों ने इन दोनों को मनाने की
कोशिश की। इस दौरान अनिल का पत्नी राधा ने माना कि वह पति के साथ बुरे
व्यवहार करती है।
हालांकि दोनों संबंध सुधार के तहत फिर अपनी गृहस्थी में जुट गए। लेकिन कुछ
दिनों के बाद ही अनिल की पत्नी राधा ने उसके मायके से मिले सभी जेवरों को
अपने कब्जे में लेकर गुजारे-भत्ते के लिए आवेदन करने के साथ घरेलू हिंसा
अधिनियम के तहत शिकायत दर्ज करा दी। यही नहीं, उसने पति के खिलाफ थाने में
भी मामला दर्ज करा दिया। उसने आरोप भी लगाया कि अनिल ने उसकी मां से डेढ़
लाख रुपये लिए हैं। इस पर मजिस्ट्रेट कोर्ट ने पत्नी और बच्चे को प्रति माह

Marathi actor Smitha Gondkar files a case against husband
Marathi actor Smitha Gondkar files a case against husband
Marathi actor SmithaGondkar is fighting a legal battle against her husband, a corporator based in Mumbai. Smitha, who has films like 'MumbaichaDabewala', 'Satya-More Than Human' and 'Hip Hip Hurrah' to her credit reveals that she has been subjected to emotional trauma for some time now.
"I have been going through terrible times for more than a year now. I was shocked when I received a call from a woman claiming to be the first wife of my husband SiddharthBanthiya. I was scared of the humiliation I would have to suffer if I spoke out. I was scared of upsetting my professional career as well." Smitha says that she finally mustered up courage and decided to fight through this "injustice". "Siddharth has fooled me and I don't want others to face what I have been subjected to," she said.
The actress has filed a case against her husband in the women's grievance redressal cell accusing him of bigamy. Smitha says that the emotional upheaval has taken a toll on her career. "I have been lucky to have supportive parents. I am trying to focus on my work. I will be married only to work now," she adds confirming that she has some projects lined up.
However, when TOI contacted Siddharth, he claimed he was never married to Smitha. "We were close but were never married. She also wants annulment of marriage but there are no documents to prove that we were married. She is harassing me for money and wants an out of court settlement." Smitha says she will continue to fight her case in court because "no money can bring my self respect and image back." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/marathi/news-interviews/Marathi-actor-Smitha-Gondkar-files-a-case-against-husband/articleshow/20859560.cms

Matka king murder case: Six including wife, son convicted
Matka king murder case: Six including wife, son convicted
MUMBAI: A sessions court on Friday convicted six accused in the murder case of matka-king Suresh Bhagat, including his wife and son.
According to prosecution, the motive behind the murder was that Bhagat's wife Jaya and son Hitesh wanted to usurp his property and take over his multi-crore gambling business.
Bhagat, along with five others, was killed, in pursuance to a conspiracy, on Alibaug-Pen road on June 13, 2008, when a truck collided with his Scorpio.
Later, police found that the accident had been orchestrated by his wife and others, for taking over the matka business, and they had hired Suhas Roge to do the job.
The Mumbai crime branch had arrested eight persons - Suhas Roge, Harish Mandvekar, Kiran Amle, Shaikh Azimuddin, Pravin Shetty, Jaya Bhagat, Hitesh Bhagat and Kiran Pujari - in connection with the case and booked them under Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
However, in April 2009, the special MCOCA court dropped the stringent Act after the defence lawyers argued that there were no previous cases against their client - which is an important ingredient for applying MCOCA in the case.
Later, Kiran Pujari and Shaikh Azimuddin sought to become approvers in the case and the court directed a magistrate to record their confessions.
Pujari, in his confession, said that he had met Jaya at her residence and Roge had suggested eliminating Bhagat. He said that Jaya had allegedly said that Bhagat was going to destroy the matka business, and to this, Roge suggested that a more "permanent" arrangement should be made.
Chief public prosecutor Kalpana Chavan told the court that this was a cold blooded murder and examined 80 witnesses to prove the case.
However, what bolstered the prosecution case was the statement of confession by Pujari and Sheikh.
Sessions judge S G Shete convicted six accused for murder and criminal conspiracy and the quantum of sentence is likely to be handed over on July 29. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Matka-king-murder-case-Six-including-wife-son-convicted/articleshow/21366680.cms

Shinde daughter moves SC for change in divorce rules
Shinde daughter moves SC for change in divorce rules
Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's daughter has set into motion a debate over the right of a woman to walk out of a traumatic marriage against her husband's will.
In a writ petition before the Supreme Court, Smriti Shinde has challenged the constitutional validity of a provision in the Hindu Marriage Act which, according to her, permits a man to " defeat the right" of his wife to seek divorce by withholding his consent.
A bench presided over by Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan on Wednesday issued notice to the Centre on Smriti's petition in which she contended that the provision was violating the rights of women under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution.
Pointing out that gender justice could not be achieved by treating unequals as equals, she submitted that the government was bound to make special provisions for women. A woman should not be compelled to obtain her husband's consent to maintain a petition for divorce initially filed with mutual consent, she argued.
Smriti, whose attempt to seek divorce by mutual consent was frustrated with her husband changing his mind, contended that law should not compel a woman to remain bound to a marriage even if she was emotionally and mentally unable to cope up with it.
She said a woman in the Indian sociocultural milieu would go for divorce only when continuance in marriage would be more traumatic than the consequences of being a divorcee. She has also attempted to revive the demand for having ' irretrievable breakdown of marriage' as a ground for dissolving marriages.
The Supreme Court, while deciding a divorce case in 2006, had also asked the government to seriously consider an amendment to the Hindu Marriage Act to include irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a ground for grant of divorce.
The government, however, had probably decided against any change in the existing provision for divorce.
Smriti got married in 1993 and has two children. She has been living separately from her husband since January 2005. The couple filed a petition for divorce by mutual consent in May 2007 and the family court granted a divorce in 2007. But the husband never turned up before the court.
The Bombay High Court set aside the decree of divorce holding that nonappearance of the husband showed that his consent did not continue. The Supreme Court was also of the same view and dismissed an appeal by her.

MOTHER KILLED HER 2 KIDS, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE: POLICE
MOTHER KILLED HER 2 KIDS, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE: POLICE
Why should Law gives custody of kids to Mother?
Srinagar, July 27: The police Saturday made a shocking revelation that two children who were found throat slit in their Bemina apartment earlier this week were killed by their mother.
“Investigation points fingers towards the mother of the children who were found murdered in Bemina. She is the prime suspect and according to prima-facie evidences, she is behind this gruesome crime. But we are waiting for the FSL reports,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ashiq Hussain Bukhari told reporters at a press conference.
“But there are some technicalities like we still have to match her fingerprints with the weapon found at the spot with which she slit throats of her children and later also cut her throat,” he added.
Pertinently, the two children of a Molvi were found brutally murdered while his wife was critically wounded Wednesday morning. Aaliya Iftikhar (5) and Muhammad Hashim (3) and their mother Naseema (40) wife of Molvi Muhammad Iftikhar Lone were found lying in pool of blood in their apartment next to Masjid Noor Iqbalabad Bemina soon after morning prayers.
The SSP ruled out involvement of any outsider in the killings saying: “There’s no involvement of outsiders in the murder as clues point towards her alone.”
He also spoke about some Tantrik, whom she would visit. “She is a resident of Gurez and was under influence of a Tantrik. She had recently met the Tantrik at Gurez and after the meeting she used to say that she was fed up with her life and was supposed to meet some Faqir on Wednesday,” he said.
When asked about the mental condition of the accused, Bukhari said: “So far the medical test of the woman has not been conducted and it will be premature to say anything about it. But at hospital when she regained conscious she tried to kill herself again.”
To mention, the gory incident occurred when the Imam Iftikhar Ahmad was out for Fajr prayers. On reaching home, he found his family in a pool of blood.
Iftikhar, hails from Gurez in north Kashmir and had shifted to Iqbalabad’s Noor Masjid around three months ago. Earlier, he used to lead prayers at a Masjid in Nowgam area of the City.

Navy 'whistleblower' wife 'framed', held
Navy 'whistleblower' wife 'framed', held
NEW DELHIi: Days after a 25-year-old woman alleged wife-swapping and harassment at the naval base in Kochi — headquarters of Southern Naval Command — Delhi Police, in a sudden move, have arrested the complainant, claiming she was involved in a case of forgery "while applying for a credit card from State Bank of India (SBI)".
The Kochi Harbour police had registered cases against some senior naval officers on basis of the compliant that her husband used to force her to go to bed with seniors and that wife-swapping among the officers was rampant at the base.
DCP (South) BS Jaiswal told TOI they acted on Saturday after receiving a complaint from SBI's Delhi IIT branch that the woman — who had recently taken admission in a language course at Jawaharlal Nehru University — had submitted forged documents to the bank to acquire a credit card.
"She had used the documents of her husband to acquire it. We have registered a case under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery) and 511 (attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment) and arrested her,'' he said. He added that since the woman used Navy emblems, a separate section under the Emblem and Name (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, has been added to the case.
The complaint stated that the woman was caught on camera while applying for the card. "The Navy too has sent a report stating that indeed forged items were used. Hence, we registered a case based on strong evidence,'' said an investigating officer.
According to Kamini Jaiswal, the victim's lawyer, this is a clear incident of "victimization". Kamini said, "She was picked up from her rented residence at Jia Sarai and not even allowed to wear her slippers. She has been slapped all this while. Now, she has been arrested for a fault she never committed. This action has been taken because I had just prepared a petition for transferring the investigations from Kerala to Delhi.''
She said her client had been informing her about repeated threats received by her and warnings of dire consequences if she did not withdraw her complaint in which she has named senior naval officers.
The JNU unit of Students' Federation of India was camping outside the Vasant Vihar police station till late Saturday night to protest against the arrest.
The Kochi Harbour police has booked one commodore, four lieutenants, including the husband, three of his relatives, a captain and his wife under sections of law relating to domestic violence, attempted sexual abuse, coercion for sexual abuse, torture and unlawful custody. But the Navy has described her charges against the senior officers as "unfair" and a "personal matter that was being publicized''.
The woman, who had gone to Kochi from New Delhi a year ago following her husband's transfer there, had said the evening parties being held at the naval base regularly were venues for immoral interactions among the participants and that her husband used to force her to sleep with senior officers after such parties.
The husband, first accused according to the FIR, told the Harbour police that his wife was mentally disturbed but he could not produce any evidence to back his claim. The Navy claimed the woman was "dragging her 'estranged' husband's colleagues - who had tried to resolve the issues dogging the couple's personal life - into the vortex of their unhappy relationship." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Navy-whistleblower-wife-framed-held/articleshow/21413562.cms

Wife's unsubstantiated allegation of infidelity against hubby
Wife's unsubstantiated allegation of infidelity against hubby
Unsubstantiated allegations made by wife in a court of law during divorce proceedings about her husband's extramarital relations amounts to cruelty, the Bombay High Court has ruled, while allowing dissolution of marriage on these grounds.
The ruling was delivered recently by a bench which quashed a Pune family court order of July 11 dismissing a divorce petition filed by a man on the grounds of cruelty.
Hearing an appeal of husband against the impugned order, justices G S Patel and O S Oka allowed dissolution of marriage between Mahesh and Mohini Paigude.
The husband had filed a petition in the family court seeking a decree of divorce on the grounds of cruelty. One of the grounds pressed by him was an unsubstantiated allegation made by his wife that he was having extramarital relationship.
The High Court held that making such unsubstantiated allegations amounts to causing mental cruelty to the husband.
"Therefore, we have no manner of doubt that unsubstantiated allegations made by the respondent wife in paragraph 6 of the written statement amounts to assault on character and reputation of the Appellant and the same constitutes a mental cruelty which entitles the Appellant to claim a decree of divorce," the judges noted.
The High Court observed that the finding of this aspect has been recorded in paragraph 16 of the impugned judgment. "In fact, in paragraph 16, the learned family court Judge has accepted that there are baseless allegations in the written statement. However, the learned Judge has observed that the Appellant has no grievance about it."
"Perhaps the said finding is based on incorrect reading of the statement made by husband in cross-examination that he was demanding divorce mainly on two grounds (refusal of the Respondent to maintain sexual relationship with him and that she used to threaten that she would commit suicide if he had sexual relations with her)."
"The observation of the judge that the allegation in the statement is not torturous and, therefore, does not amount to cruelty, is completely erroneous," the bench noted.
"As we have already held, not only had the wife failed to substantiate allegation but in cross-examination, she has made it clear that she was entertaining a doubt about the character of appellant," the judges said.

Navy wife swapping scandal: Complainant arrested for fraud
Navy wife swapping scandal: Complainant arrested for fraud
The woman, whose complaint of wife swapping rocked the naval base in Kochi in April, was on Saturday arrested by Delhi police for allegedly committing a forgery by procuring a credit card in the name of her estranged husband.
Police arrested Sujata Sahoo from her residence in South Delhi under sections 420 (cheating), 468 and 471 (forgery) and Emblem and Name (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, a Delhi police spokesman said.
Kamini Jaiswal, counsel for Sahoo in the wife swapping case, has denied the charges and said it was an attempt to malign her client.
She accused the Delhi police of torturing Sahoo.
Jaiswal said that her client was dragged from her house and beaten.
"As a result of this, she has received injuries and the police have not been ensuring a proper medical check-up," Jaiswal alleged.
She said that her client had been informing her about the repeated threats received by her and warnings about dire consequences if she did not withdraw her complaint, in which she has named senior naval officials.
According to Delhi police, Sahoo was arrested from Jia Sarai after State Bank of India's IIT branch complained that she was trying to procure a credit card in the name of her estranged husband, Ravi Kant, using his forged PAN card and employment letter of the Indian Navy.
The bank, according to Delhi police, has videographed everything pertaining to the alleged procurement of the credit card.
Defence Minister A K Antony had promised to take strong action if anybody was found guilty in the alleged wife swapping case.
Sahoo had also filed a case of dowry harassment under Section 489A against her husband and the case has been transferred to Kochi.

False cases behind Delhi's tag of rape capital: Court
False cases behind Delhi's tag of rape capital: Court
False cases are the reasons behind labelling of Delhi as 'rape capital'; a court in Delhi has held while acquitting a 75-year-old man of the charge of sexually assaulting his maid after the woman turned hostile.
The court said after the December 16 gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus lead to the creation of an atmosphere that "the mere statement of a lady that she has been raped, came to be taken as gospel truth, the accused arrested and chargesheeted".
"This lead to an unprecedented surge in filing of false rape cases...It is these false cases which play havoc with the crime statistics, leading to the labelling of Delhi as a 'rape capital'," Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat said, while acquitting Bhopal Sharma of the charge of sexually assaulting his maid.
The court observed that as acquittals in such cases are hardly ever reported, the falsely implicated persons lose their honour, dignity and status in the society and though these cannot be restored, "these victims" can be compensated so that they can start life afresh.
It also noted that "it is a matter of intense regret that even the frail, sick and aged persons are not spared from the false allegations of rape".
According to the prosecution, Sharma and his neighbour Anita had become friends when they met in a hospital where his ailing wife was admitted. After his wife's death, Anita had arranged for the woman, who was in her 30s, to work as a maid in his home.
The maid in her complaint had said a few days after she started working at Sharma's house in July 2012; he had raped her and after the incident, had promised to marry her.
Thereafter, he continued to have sexual relations with her on the pretext of marrying her, the maid had alleged, adding that she lodged the police complaint on October 11, 2012 after Sharma expressed his unwillingness to keep his promise.
However, during the trial, the woman turned hostile and said she had levelled false allegations on the advice of Anita and another person Kuldeep.
While acquitting Sharma, the judge noted that the maid, a divorcee, had levelled the allegation of rape against the senior citizen on the behest of her neighbour Anita and Kuldeep in order to usurp the man's property.
Expressing the need for courts to be empowered to award compensation to victims of false rape cases, the judge also lamented that media turns a blind eye to acquittals in such cases.
"Nobody bothers to see in how many cases the accused in fact are convicted. Media turns a blind eye towards acquittals. The acquittal of an accused is not noticed at all and he continues to be labelled as a 'rapist' even after his honourable acquittal.
"Their lost honour, dignity and status in the society cannot be restored but they can be compensated so that they are able to start life afresh. The courts need to be empowered to award compensation to men acquitted in false rape cases," the court said.
The judge also said right from the first day when accused was produced before him, he had wondered, "How such a frail old man, who cannot even stand straight, would rape a young lady in her mid-30's, having lot more strength than the accused?"

पति पर बेवफाई के झूठे आरोप क्रूरता हैं, पति तलाक मांगने का हकदार: हाईकोर्ट
पति पर बेवफाई के झूठे आरोप क्रूरता हैं, पति तलाक मांगने का हकदार: हाईकोर्ट
यदि कोई महिला अपने पति पर झूठा आरोप लगाती है कि विवाह के बाद भी उसके किसी पराई औरत के साथ संबंध हैं तो पति इन आरोपों के आधार पर तलाक की मांग कर सकता है. यही नहीं, इस तरह के आरोप मानसिक क्रूरता कहलाएंगे. बंबई हाई कोर्ट ने एक मामले में अपना फैसला सुनाते हुए ऐसा कहा है.
बंबई हाईकोर्ट ने अदालत की कार्यवाही के दौरान पत्नी द्वारा अपने पति पर विवाहोत्तर संबंधों के बेबुनियाद आरोप लगाने को क्रूरता करार देते हुए पति को इस आधार पर तलाक की मंज़ूरी दे दी.

Joyous divorce: Time for pre-nuptial arrangements?
Joyous divorce: Time for pre-nuptial arrangements?
The UPA Government’s determination to give divorced women a share in the inherited and inheritable property of their ex-husbands is a direct and blatant assault on the Hindu family and the sanctity of marriage, as it incentivises divorce by giving women a sense of false empowerment that comes from unearned wealth appropriated by unjust means.
The move is tantamount to daylight robbery of old parents and grandparents of a man whose wife may wish to leave him for any reason (including desire to marry another man), as property earned and owned by parents and grandparents can – instead of supporting them in their old age and retirement – be literally extorted by the courts and given to conniving young women after merely a month of marriage.
The move is faulty on many grounds and deserves robust response from society and all political parties. To begin with, since it is aimed at the Hindu community alone, it deserves to be challenged on grounds of religious assault and discrimination, which violates the basic tenets of the Indian Constitution. Secondly, it discriminates against the male gender by assuming that all divorce stems from the fault of men, another violation of Constitutional provisions. Thirdly, it opens a third party – parents and grandparents – to expropriation of their wealth when they are not a party to the divorce.
All these moves are bad in law and bad in intent. A disturbing aspect of the Cabinet decision is that it legitimises the mindless prattle of rootless women activists to destroy the institution of marriage, which is sacred in Hindu tradition, and reduces it to a contract in which one party benefits unduly if it departs. This, combined with a peculiar judicial ‘fashion’ (since it does not rest on law) to treat live-in relationships at par with marriage, has completely compromised the basic stability and integrity sanctity of the Hindu family.
Inheriting the ancestral property by divorced women
If an extra-legal tie like a live-in relationship, is itself the result of women’s empowerment and quest for freedom from social norms, is treated at par with marriage because a judge feels it is right, on what basis does the judiciary refuse to recognise a socially entrenched institution like the Khap Panchayat? Why should the rulings of Khap Panchayats – either against inter-caste or intra-gotra marriages or female foeticide or dowry – be deemed illegal and unworthy of judicial respect?
If Khap Panchayats are not recognised in law, neither are live-in relationships. Alternately, if live-in relations are akin to marriage, Khap Panchayats are akin to courts of law! Here it bears mentioning that the Supreme Court erred grievously when it ruled that illegitimate children have a right to ancestral property. This is morally wrong and needs to be undone; such children have a right to parental property alone.
Moreover, since a man cannot demand that his father give him a share of his (father’s) wealth or property while the father is still alive, how can this allegedly inheritable property be given to a wife quitting the marriage? It is quite insane. If a man intends to bequeath his property to someone else, can the courts take that right away?
Marriage laws to be made more women-friendly
The foundational issue that needs resolving here is the issue of women’s equality. Are female citizens of India equal to males, as envisaged by the Constitution, or are they incurable dependants who can never support themselves and whose upkeep, once transferred from the father/brother on marriage, must never revert to the woman herself or to her natal family. Hence the punitive provisions against (Hindu) husbands, to the extent of bleeding his entire family.
Ironically, this move is the exact reverse of the Muslim Women’s (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986 – by a Congress Government – which pushed the responsibility for destitute divorced women back on their natal families, even if they were in no position to assume such a burden, and absolved rich husbands of the duty to pay alimony to their abandoned wives.
Several issues are involved here, and deserve careful reasoning, as the measure will most impact middle classes that struggle hard to earn modest affluence, mostly in the form of a dwelling and some savings. First, the Government’s move to make divorce easier by introducing the ground of irretrievable breakdown as a reason to exit a marriage is welcome, but is negated by setting a three year deadline for ending marriages, when six months should be adequate. This offers both parties the opportunity to make a quick break and avoid the bitterness that accumulates through prolonged judicial proceedings.
Then, since the Government now believes that marriage is a contract, contract-style rules should be applied to a marriage. Since it will now be only between the two persons, who alone are responsible for its success or failure, third parties cannot be cited as reasons for breakdown of the marriage, and certainly their property/assets cannot be extracted by a departing wife. It bears mentioning that by giving judges the discretion to decide what compensation a divorcing wife is due from the wealth of her in-laws, the Government has opened a door for rampant judicial corruption. This should be closed without further ado.
Then, as in the case of contracts, length of tenure should be a deciding factor in settling the issue of compensation, if any. Here, first and foremost, a woman must be fully entitled to get back the shridhan she received at the time of marriage, and there can be no negotiation on this score. Yet here – in a classic instance of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing – the Government and the Judiciary have been stressing upon holding both sides guilty in cases of dowry harassment! This absurd logic has inhibited parents of girls from making a list of gifts given to girls at the time of marriage, with the result that they have no legal recourse when the marriage goes sour and they are thrown out of their matrimonial homes when their parents cannot fulfill unreasonable demands. Clearly, ‘progressive thinking’ works against weak women and empowers the undeserving.
To return to the issue of compensation, it must be related to the length of a marriage, which is a standard practice in the West (from where our ‘progressives’ derive their inspiration) where pre-nuptial contracts determine the compensation due to a women according to the length a marriage survives. There is usually nothing for a marriage that does not last five years. Moreover, any sharing of assets must be based on property/wealth earned or created by the couple during the duration of the marriage only, and cannot legitimately extend to cover property/wealth created by either before marriage.
If pre-marital assets are to be brought into the division, then this must be gender-neutral and a man married to a richer woman must get equal access to her and her family’s wealth. Then, while the rights of children, if any, are undeniable, there is no case for alimony for working women. The courts are aware that there have been several cases of affluent working women giving up their jobs when the marriage broke down in order to claim robust alimony as the price of consenting to divorce. This trend will be reinforced under the present proposed changes in divorce law, which will encourage women to take punitive action against their in-laws on the slightest pretext.
It is noteworthy that the rights of children to inherit ancestral property is sacrosanct in Hindu law; what the new law proposes is the deprive parents of a divorced man while they are still alive. It is pertinent that in many countries, such as Britain, all inherited property is excluded from divorce settlements. Regarding ‘inheritable’ property, it is pertinent that parents may need their assets for the marriage of other children, to support themselves, or pay for costly medical treatment of themselves or some member of the family.

Extorting such property amounts to a virtual death sentence for aged parents and grandparents as a women unwilling to bear the responsibility of running a home and a marriage may find divorce an easy route to financial betterment. There remains the issue of remarriage of either or both parties. If a marriage breaks down after a few years and the man remarries, he will have another wife and children to look after, and this marriage may last the rest of his life. A wife of a few years can clearly not walk away with the bulk of his income and estate.
If the woman takes a handsome settlement, wins child custody and child support, and remarries, can the law ensure that the child of that marriage alone benefits from the settlement, and that the new husband and family does not take a share of it? The proposed legislation is an oxymoron; the sooner Parliament nixes it, the better. There is, however, an urgent case for legalising pre-nuptial agreements.

कुंडा के शहीद DSP की पत्नी ने सुसराल वालों को कोर्ट में खींचा और भी...
कुंडा के शहीद DSP की पत्नी ने सुसराल वालों को कोर्ट में खींचा और भी...
कुंडा के डीएसपी जिया उल हक की हत्या के चार महीने बाद उनकी पत्नी परवीन आजाद और घरवालों के बीच पैसों को लेकर एक नया विवाद खड़ा हो गया है. डीएसपी जिया उल हक की पत्नी परवीन आजाद को डीएसपी की मौत के बाद उत्तर प्रदेश पुलिस में शामिल किया गया है. अब परवीन ने देवरिया की सिविल कोर्ट में अपने ससुराल वालों शमशुल हक और आजरा खातून के खिलाफ केस दर्ज कराया है. परवीन ने जिया उल हक की चल-अचल संपत्ति दावा ठोंका है. इस मामले में 11 जुलाई को कोर्ट में केस दर्ज किया गया है और 26 जुलाई को सुनवाई होगी.
शहीद डीएसपी के पिता शमशुल हक का कहना है, ‘जिया ने 2009 में दो एलआईसी पॉलिसी ली थीं और अपने माता-पिता को नॉमिनी बनाया था. सभी औपचारिकताएं पूरी करने के बाद एलआईसी ने 27 जून को दोनों पॉलिसी की रकम 9 लाख और 3.20 लाख के भुगतान के लिए पत्र भेजा. हालांकि एलआईसी अधिकारी ने उन्हें जानकारी दी कि परवीन ने 25 जून को एलआईसी में आपत्ति पत्र दिया है, जिसमें उन्होंने दावा किया है कि पॉलिसी धारक की पत्नी होने के नाते क्लेम उन्हें मिलना चाहिए.’
परवीन की आपत्ति को संज्ञान में लेते हुए एलआईसी ने उन्हें 45 दिन के अंदर उन्हें खुद को नॉमिनी साबित करने और उससे जुड़े डॉक्यूमेंट जमा करने के लिए कहा है. इस तरह से खुद को जिया उल हक की नॉमिनी साबित करने के लिए परवीन ने 11 जुलाई को कोर्ट में मामला दर्ज करवा दिया.
शमशुल हक ने बताया कि उन्हें 26 जुलाई को कोर्ट में पेश होने का नोटिस मिला है. उन्होंने कहा कि परवीन इन दोनों पॉलिसी का क्लेम नहीं कर सकती क्योंकि परवीन की उनके बेटे से शादी 2012 में हुई, जबकि एलआईसी पॉलिसी 2009 में ली गई थी.
मृत्यु के 40 दिन बाद धार्मिक अनुष्ठान में शामिल होने के बाद परवीन जुफर तोला छोड़कर लखनऊ में बस गई हैं. वे उत्तर प्रदेश पुलिस में ऑफिसर ऑन स्पेशल ड्यूटी पर तैनात हैं और उतनी ही तनख्वाह पा रही हैं जितनी शहीद डीएसपी को मिलती थी. यही नहीं उन्हें सरकारी आदेशानुसार इतनी ही रकम पेंशन के रूप में भी मिल रही है. डीएसपी के पिता ने आरोप लगाया कि परवीन उनसे कोई संपर्क नहीं रखती. उन्होंने बताया कि परवीन ने जिस दिन केस दर्ज कराया सिर्फ उसी दिन उनके घर पर आयी थीं.

महिला सांसद पर दिग्विजय का 'विवादित' बयान
महिला सांसद पर दिग्विजय का 'विवादित' बयान
When congress party talks about Women's everything is accepted because they create all biased laws to harass husband....
मीनाक्षी कांग्रेस पार्टी में सचिव हैं और राहुल गाँधी के विश्वस्त लोगों में मानी जाती हैं.
दिग्विजय सिंह ने मीनाक्षी नटराजन की तारीफ़ करते हुए कहा, " मैं राजनीति का पुराना जौहरी हूँ. मीनाक्षी जी का काम देख कर मैं यह कह सकता हूँ कि वह 100 टका टंच माल हैं."
उनके इस बयान में '100 टका टंच माल' वाले हिस्से पर विवाद शुरू हो गया. इस पर मीनाक्षी नटराजन ने कहा है कि दिग्विजय की टिप्पणी से उन्हें बुरा नहीं लगा है.
उन्होंने कहा, "उनके बयान को पूरे परिप्रेक्ष्य में देखा जाना चाहिए. उन्होंने मेरे काम की तारीफ की है. मुझे इस बयान से कोई आपत्ति नहीं है."
क्लिक करें दिग्विजय सिंह ने ख़ुद को राजनीति का "पुराना जौहरी" बताया. सभा में मौजूद लोगों ने तालियाँ बजाकर उनका समर्थन किया. इससे पहले दिग्विजय सिंह ने मीनाक्षी नटराजन को मेहनती, ईमानदार, और समाज सेवक बताया.
उन्होंने कहा, "मैंने उन्हें 100 टका सोने का माल
कहा था, यह लोगों की सोच पर निर्भर है कि वह इसे किस तरह से देखते हैं. मैं
अपने बयान को वापस नहीं लूँगा. मैं मीनाक्षी जी की तारीफ़ कर रहा था."
क्लिक करें कांग्रेस महासचिव दिग्विजय सिंह ने कहा, "जिन लोगों ने मेरे बयान को ग़लत तरीके से पेश किया है मैं उनके ख़िलाफ़ मानहानि का दावा करूँगा."
बयान दिए जाते समय मीनाक्षी नटराजन ख़ुद मंच पर मौजूद थीं. उन्होंने अपनी तारीफ़ सुनकर हँसते हुए हाथ उठाकर ताली बजाई.
इससे पहले वह नरेंद्र मोदी को लेकर अपने बयानों की वजह से सुर्ख़ियों में रहे.
फिर क्लिक करें भारतीय जनता पार्टी के नेता राघव जी के अप्राकृतिक यौन संबंधों की सीडी मीडिया में आने के बाद नौ जुलाई को उन्होंने ट्वीट किया था – “भोपाल में नारे लग रहे हैं – बच्चा बच्चा राम का, राघवजी के काम का !”
बाद में बीबीसी हिंदी के फ़ेसबुक पन्ने पर लाइव चैट के दौरान उन्होंने कहा कि राघवजी मेरे इष्टदेव हैं. उन्होंने यह भी कहा था कि वह सोच समझ कर बोलते हैं.
अल क़ायदा के पूर्व नेता ओसामा बिन लादेन को "ओसामा जी" कहने की वजह से भारतीय मीडिया में उनकी काफी आलोचना हुई थी.
भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ आन्दोलन करने वाले अन्ना हज़ारे को दिग्विजय सिंह ने आरएसएस का एजेंट बताया था.

Man commits suicide after new bride decamps with valuables
Man commits suicide after new bride decamps with valuables
NAGPUR: The
young woman went about it like any other fraud committed by her, when
she duped a city man into marrying her and then made away with lakhs in valuables and cash. However, she and her accomplice must never have thought that their deeds would claim somebody's life.
Bajeria resident Kailash Parihar, 31, consumed poison three days after his marriage on Saturday, when he realized that his newly-wed wife is a thief and had fled with all the valuables purchased during the marriage with her alleged brother.
The brother-sister duo had introduced themselves as Monty and Puja Jaiswal, hailing from Gujarat. Over the past one-and-a-half years, Monty and Puja used to have lunch at the eatery near the railway station, where Parihar's mother worked, and had become friendly with her.
In the first week of July, the Jaiswal siblings told her that they had come to the city after their parents passed away three years earlier. "The duo told the elderly woman that they used to stay at an uncle's house but were thrown out after the family's daughter ran away with all the valuables with her lover. Monty said that he was looking for a suitable boy for Puja's marriage before going back to Gujarat," said social worker Sunil Balpande, who has been helping the Parihar family file a police complaint.
Parihar's mother was also in search of a suitable girl for him, and proposed Kailash as a groom for Puja. After a few meetings, the marriage was scheduled on July 18 with full zeal at the Parihar residence.
Under an impression that Puja came from a poor family, Kailash's relatives and mother gifted many gold ornaments and other valuables to her on the wedding. A day after the reception on July 19, Monty told Kailash that he wanted to buy some clothes for Puja before he left for Gujarat.
On Saturday, July 20, Kailash took Puja and Monty to a garment shop in Sitabuldi market. After selecting a range of expensive clothes, Kailash went to pay the bill at the cash counter on the ground floor. When Monty didn't come down for a minutes, Puja too went to find her brother, promising to come back within minutes.
However, the due did not return even after an hour. Kailash tried calling Monty's cellphone but it was not reachable. He realized that he had been duped when the shop keeper told him that the duo had been buying clothes from him for the past four years.
Unable to overcome the shock that he had been cheated, Kailash consumed poison the same night. He succumbed during treatment on July 23.
Balpande claimed that initially police had refused to take the police complaint and sent Kailash's mother away, as they did not believe her version of events. Later, after Parihar's death and pressure from Balpande, police are finally investigating the complaint to file a case.

Now, a helpline for harassed men
Now, a helpline for harassed men
KOZHIKODE: A legal aid centre formed by victims of dowry law (IPC498A) and other anti-men laws is launching a helpline for clients. The JanamithramJanakeeyaNeethiVedi, launched three years ago, promises that the service will be available round the clock from August 11.
The facility, offering legal aid and steps to tackle fabricated cases, will be launched in Malayalam in the first phase. The helpline numbers will be 9387469083 and 9142930682.
Vedi president M A Ibrahim Ravuthar said the increasing instances of misuse of laws, anti-men directives of family courts and the new amendment to Hindu Marriage Act had forced the 5,000-member-strong organization to launch the helpline. "The number of educated women misusing IPC section 498A to harass their husbands and other relatives is on the rise. We are looking to help such people," he said.
The genuineness of cases will be verified with the help of organization members in the respective districts. Legal aid to face fabricated cases will be provided to only those whose claims are found to be genuine in the verification process.
"The organization will also seek to work like mediators for the speedy disposal of cases. We have already contacted similar organisations in other states to work together. The helpline can benefit even those who don't know whom to approach for help,'' Ravuthur said.
"We will also provide legal aid with the help of police and state legal services authority,'' he added. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kozhikode/Now-a-helpline-for-harassed-men/articleshow/21290465.cms?fb_action_ids=185487584954514&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map={%22185487584954514%22%3A282026641937032}&action_type_map={%22185487584954514%22%3A%22og.likes%22}&action_ref_map=[]

Woman accused of murdering a doctor 'couriers' his severed private part to wife
The gruesome murder of a 42-year-old government doctor in Kanpur has taken a bizarre turn with the woman accused of the crime now being suspected of having couriered the victim's severed private part to his wife, police said on Tuesday.
The main accused woman in the case, who is yet to be traced, was present with the victim in the hotel where he was later found murdered, police said. Kanpur (rural) SP KS Singh said that en route to delivering the package, the courier saw blood stains on it and contacted the police who seized the parcel after seeing its contents. Police is sending the organ to a forensic laboratory in Lucknow for a DNA test, he said.
Meanwhile, the deceased's brother has filed an FIR against an unknown doctor, hotel manager Anup Srivastav, and three other hotel employees, they said.
Satish Chandra, posted at Amrodha Primary Health Centre in Kanpur Dehat area, was found dead on Sunday at a hotel in the Rania area. Infuriated over the shocking incident, doctors in government hospitals on Monday called a strike and demanded justice for the victim. They demanded immediate arrest of all the accused and security for themselves, police said.
The doctors, who had taken part in the strike called by the PMM Association, have all resumed work from Tuesday, Kanpur Dehat CMO Karan Singh said. But they have warned that if the accused are not arrested immediately, all services at hospitals, barring emergency duties, would be suspended.
According to police, Chandra's post-mortem report mentions excessive bleeding caused by a cut from a sharp weapon as the reason for death. The features described by the courier company employees match with that of the accused woman. She was in her mid-twenties and wearing a salwar kameez, he said.

'New law for live-in partners up to judiciary'
'New law for live-in partners up to judiciary'
GURGAON: Even as city police officers do not want to comment officially on the trend of live-in relationships and its legal implications and about the recent spate of rape allegations against former live-in partners, some of them, talking off the record, are of the opinion that it is a wrong way to seek revenge after a relationship has gone sour.
Police investigating such cases have found that most of these allegations start after the partners have decided to end their relationship. Police have also found that in all the cases, it is the female partner who seeks legal action.
Such a case is filed under the same section as rape, that is, Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code.
Experts say while introducing a new law for live-in relationships is difficult and complex, it is time the judiciary looked into the issues arising from a live-in relationship.
"The Supreme Court in various judgments has held that consensual sex between two adults can't be termed rape. But the younger generation thought that was a green light for live-in relationships, that they need not marryl; 'indulge in sexual gratification'; and then walk out any time without taking any responsibility. This may not be a correct impression," said Harish Malhotra, a Gurgaon-based lawyer.
In some cases, the Supreme Court has held that the consent obtained by false promise of marriage is no consent, and therefore it is rape.
"If any unmarried couple of the right legal age is "involved in sexual gratification", this will be considered a valid marriage and they could be termed "husband and wife", the Madras High Court has ruled in a judgment that gives a new twist to the concept of premarital sex," added Malhotra.
The court said if a bachelor has completed 21 years of age and an unmarried woman 18 years, they have acquired the freedom of choice guaranteed by the Constitution. "Consequently, if any couple chooses to consummate their sexual cravings, then that act becomes a total commitment with adherence to all consequences that may follow, except on certain exceptional considerations," he added.
The June 17, 2013 Madras high court verdict
The petitioner A, a Hindu, and respondent OH, a Muslim, lived under one roof, had sexual relations, and had two children between 1994 and 1999. There was documentary proof that OH was the father of at least the second of such children. There was also proof that OH had applied for a "family card" for himself, A and the two children. However, A's marriage to OH was not registered in the Islamic marriage register, the Nikah book. In 1999, OH deserted A and her two minor children.
In 2000, she filed for maintenance of Rs 5,000 per month from him for herself and the two children, claiming that he earned Rs 25,000 per month from his business. OH denied that A was his wife, said she was a "dubious" woman, who was his coworker, and that there was no documentary proof of religious solemnization of marriage between them.
The family court judge observed that though the two children belonged to the respondent and were each entitled to a maintenance of Rs 500 per month from OH, and while A was entitled to Rs 1,000 per month from OH towards litigation expenses, A was not the wife of OH in the absence of documentary proof supporting their marriage.
However, when A filed a revision petition against this order of the family court, Justice CS Karnan at the Madras high court held that customary rites are not necessary to solemnize a valid marriage, and as long as there is no legal bar to A and OH's marriage, while they have also had children together, A's status has been elevated to 'wife' of OH.
Justice Karnan then went on to hold that if a man and a woman of marriageable age have a sexual relationship and the woman becomes pregnant, the couple will be treated as a husband and wife. Even when there is no pregnancy but strong documentary proof of sexual relationship, the couple will still be treated as married. If after having a sexual relationship the couple decides to separate, the husband can only marry another woman after a decree of divorce from the wife. Either part in such couples can approach a family court for declaration of valid marriage.
Karnan directed OH to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs 500 to A, applicable from September 2000, and the arrears of such maintenance until May 2013 within three months. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/New-law-for-live-in-partners-up-to-judiciary/articleshow/21289236.cms
