No anticipatory bail to Prince Tuli, Parents relieved

Nagpur News: A sessions court on Saturday rejected the anticipatory bail application of Prince Tuli but granted him protection from arrest for two weeks for approaching the Bombay High Court.
Mookhey had accused Tulli, a resident of Nagpur, of cruelty, criminal breach of trust, and unnatural sex in a complaint filed with Amboli Police on July 3. Tuli’s parents and sister were also booked.
The court, however, granted anticipatory bail to Tuli’s parents and sister, after their lawyer managed to prove that they had cooperated with the investigation.
The court transferred the investigation to the Bandra Police, after Mookhey approached the police commissioner alleging the investigating officer from Amboli Police Station was favouring the accused, as his family home was in Nagpur.
Mookhey had told the court that some videos of the couple was in Tuli’s possession, and expressed apprehension that he might make those public.
Mookhey’s counsel also referred to a second FIR that Mookhey filed against Tuli on August 18, citing a newspaper interview in which he allegedly ‘defamed’ her.

'Amended Marriage Laws Bill 2010 will harm interest of husbands'

NAGPUR: Not happy with Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill 2010 tabled in Parliament on August 26, men's rights activist Rajesh Vakharia of 'Save Indian Family Foundation', Nagpur chapter, says that the law is against the principles of natural justice. "Statements in support of this law were grossly misleading and downright incorrect," says Vakharia.

He feels that only lawyers will welcome such a law which gives power to law enforcement systems. "When the government planned to amend Criminal Procedure Code to reduce arrests under Section 498A to stop its misuse, lawyers protested against this move claiming they will not be able to make big money from bail fees from men and their families," says Vakharia.

Vakharia's view is that if the bill is passed by Parliament, then husbands will lose their hard-earned property if their marriage breaks. They will face false cases under Section 498A, Domestic Violence Act, Section 125 CrPC, etc. and get extorted further.

They may also lose custody of their children to their estranged wife and will become bankrupt if their wife decides to leave or if they are unhappy in the marriage.

"All I want is that the law minister should call for an open debate on the pros and cons of this law," he says.

Lawyer felicitated for contribution in cause of men

ALLAHABAD: A High Court lawyer Arvind Kumar Pandey was felicitated by a section of lawyers for receiving an award at fifth National Men's Rights Conference held in Nagpur recently, for outstanding contribution in championing the cause of men in national and International arena, during a programme organized at Indian Coffee House on Saturday.

Addressing the lawyers, Arivind Kumar Pandey said, "Biased criminal laws have spoiled the lives of many men charged under the Dowry Act. The laws like Domestic Violence Act, IPC 498 a, and Maintenance Act, to name a few are heavily tilted in favour of women and have done more harm than producing good effects."

The Men's Rights National conference, held at Pench Tiger Reserve in Nagpur was attended by more than 150 men's rights activists, who represented 40,000 activists spread across India and other parts of the globe.

This year's national conference was held under the aegis of Nagpur Chapter of Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), now being run by Rajesh Vakharia. Few prominent International Men's Rights Associations like Marital Justice from United Kingdom and INSAAF from USA besides Men's Rights activists from Germany, Singapore, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Middle East, Japan and Russia also attended the conference.

Informing about the resolutions passed at fifth Men's Rights conference Arvind Kumar Pandey, who attended the conference as a writer and blogger said, "The first resolution was aimed at formation of Men's Welfare Ministry while the next resolution aimed at reducing the number of men involved in hazardous professions and another important resolution dealt with creation of gender-neutral treatment in legal aspects. Recognition of the rights of fathers, making shared parenting necessary in wake of separation was another major demand made on the occasion. The activists were unanimous in rejecting the highly biased Marriage Law Amendment Bill, 2010, and demanded its roll back. Lastly, the need to make huge investment in areas of Men's health was deeply felt."

The felicitation ceremony at Coffee House, Allahabad, was attended by advocates including Neeraj Shukla, Sampanna Kumar Srivastava, Ashish Nigam, Satyadhar Dubey, Arvind Kushwaha, Pintu Jaiswal, Shubhranshu Pandey, Arun Prakash Srivastava, Mohit Kesarwani and few others.
