Undertrial commits suicide in Kurukshetra jail
KURUKSHETRA: Hundreds of angry residents blocked the Kurukshetra-Yamunanagar highway after an undertrial committed suicide by hanging himself at a meditation centre of Kurukshetra jail on Tuesday morning.
Demanding action against the cops, they alleged that police had arrested Rajesh,
22, who committed suicide, without verifying the facts. The deceased, a
resident of Sonti village of Ladwa block of Kurukshetra, was facing
trial in a dowry death case of his wife. His father is also lodged in
the same jail but his mother is in Ambala jail on the same charge.
Rajesh's wife had died months back and a case of dowry harassment was
lodged against him and his parents. The deceased has left behind a
suicide note, but the jail authorities and district police did not
reveal its contents. While jail superintendent
S K Chauhan said he was not aware of the content of the note, SHO, city
police station, Malkeet Singh said, "A magistrate is looking into the
matter and the suicide note is in her custody. So we cannot say anything
about it." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Undertrial-commits-suicide-in-Kurukshetra-jail/articleshow/20191408.cms

Bride files dowry FIR on wedding day
AHMEDABAD: The scene was straight out of films for many invitees at Premilaben Patel's residence in Vinzol on Monday morning.

Ankita's mother Premilaben raised three daughters after the demise of her husband and made two ends meet by letting out half the residence and working as a tailor. Ankita, the eldest daughter got her bachelors degree after which she gave consent to marriage.
Police say Ankita's family alleges that they conceded all demands of Paresh's family in the past two years, including seeking money to build a house and for family functions. Despite limited resources, they spent considerably and prepared for a marriage party consisting of more than 500 people.
"Premilaben got the shock of her life when Paresh's mother called at 8 am and told her that she expected at least Rs 5 lakh to be given at the wedding time," said a police official.
Fed up with the drama, Ankita asked the relatives not to bend anymore to the boy's family and approached police for the mental harassment and demand of dowry. GV Gohil, inspector of Vatva police station, said that they have asked the family members of Paresh Patel to record their statements in the case. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Bride-files-dowry-FIR-on-wedding-day/articleshow/20163211.cms

6 साल से होटेल में रह रहे पति को घर में एंट्री की इजाजत
6 साल से होटेल में रह रहे पति को घर में एंट्री की इजाजत
मुंबई।। बंबई हाई कोर्ट ने एक व्यक्ति को अपने ही दो बेडरूम वाले घर में रहने की अनुमति दे दी है। उसे छह साल पहले पत्नी और रिश्तेदारों ने कथित रूप से घर से बाहर निकाल दिया था और वह एक होटेल में रहने को मजबूर था।
जस्टिस एफएम रईस और जस्टिस वीएम कनाडे की बेंच ने अपने हालिया आदेश में व्यवस्था दी कि पति बांद्रा स्थित 700 वर्ग फुट क्षेत्र में बने फ्लैट के एक बेडरूम में रहेगा, जबकि पत्नी दूसरे बेडरूम में रहेगी। जजों ने पत्नी को आदेश दिया कि दो हफ्तों के भीतर पति को घर की दूसरी चाबी सौंपी जाए। कोर्ट ने दोनों पक्षों से कहा कि वे एक दूसरे के कब्जे में बाधा पहुंचाने या हस्तक्षेप करने का प्रयास न करें। कोर्ट ने पति को रसोई और बाथरूम के इस्तेमाल की भी इजाजत दी। पत्नी ने इस आदेश पर रोक लगाने की मांग की, लेकिन अदालत ने उसकी याचिका खारिज कर दी।
पति के अनुसार, उसे 22 जुलाई 2007 को अपनी पत्नी और उसके रिश्तेदारों के हाथों उत्पीड़न का शिकार होना पड़ा और अपना फ्लैट छोड़कर जाना पड़ा। इसके बाद उसे घर वापस आने नहीं दिया गया। जब उसने फ्लैट में घुसने करने की कोशिश की तो पत्नी के भाई ने उसकी पिटाई कर दी। नतीजन 2007 से उसे एक होटल में ठहरना पड़ा। पत्नी ने इन आरोपों को खारिज करते हुए कहा कि पति उसे शारीरिक व मानसिक रूप से परेशान करता था। अगर पति को घर में रहने दिया जाता तो दिक्कतें पैदा होतीं।

Consensual sex with intention to marry is not rape: Supreme Court
Consensual sex with intention to marry is not rape: Supreme Court
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday said that if a man has consensual sex with a woman with the intention to marry her, then it cannot be termed as rape, even though the marriage does not take place.
The top court's said this while hearing a case in which an accused was charged with rape after he failed to marry the girl with whom he had consensual sex on the promise of marrying her.
"Coerced or misguided, obtained willingly or through deceit. Consent is an act of reason, accompanied by deliberation, the mind weighing, as in a balance, the good and evil on each side. There is a clear distinction between rape and consensual sex and in a case like this, the court must very carefully examine whether the accused had actually wanted to marry the victim, or had mala fide motives, and had made a false promise to this effect only to satisfy his lust, as the latter falls within the ambit of cheating or deception. There is a distinction between the mere breach of a promise, and not fulfilling a false promise," said the Supreme Court.Differentiating consensual sex and rape, the Supreme Court said, "Rape is the most morally and physically reprehensible crime in a society, as it is an assault on the body, mind and privacy of the victim. While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female.
"Rape reduces a woman to an animal, as it shakes the very core of her life. By no means can a rape victim be called an accomplice. Rape leaves a permanent scar on the life of the victim, and therefore a rape victim is placed on a higher pedestal than an injured witness. Rape is a crime against the entire society and violates the human rights of the victim.
"Being the most hated crime, rape tantamounts to a serious blow to the supreme honour of a woman, and offends both her esteem and dignity. It causes psychological and physical harm to the victim, leaving upon her indelible marks."
A lower court in Haryana had convicted the accused to undergo seven years imprisonment, which was upheld by the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The Supreme Court acquitted the person who had served three years out of the seven year sentence and ordered his release.
The Supreme Court said the girl was at that time 19 years old and had adequate intelligence and maturity to understand the significance and morality associated with the act she was consenting to. "She was conscious of the fact that her marriage may not take place owing to various considerations, including the caste factor. Hence it could not be said that she had not given her consent for having sex with the accused," the court said.

पत्नी को मनाने गए युवक को ससुराल वालों ने दिया जहर, मौत
पत्नी को मनाने गए युवक को ससुराल वालों ने दिया जहर, मौत
चंडीगढ़. मां मुझे बचा लो मेरे ससुराल वालों ने जहर खिला दिया है बस इतना कहकर 22 वर्षीय रोहित नीचे गिर गया। परिवार वाले बेटे को जीएमसीएच-32 ले गए जहां इलाज के दौरान उसने दम तोड़ दिया। मां बेटे की मौत के गम में दो दिन तक तो पूरी तरह बेहोशी की हालत में रही और जब चार दिन बाद थोड़ा होश संभाला तो उन्होंने इसकी शिकायत थाना पुलिस को दी।
मां की शिकायत पर सेक्टर-31 थाना पुलिस ने केस दर्ज कर मामले की जांच शुरू कर दी। कोमल के पिता राजू नायक और अन्य परिवार के सदस्यों पर केस दर्ज कर लिया है, अभी गिरफ्तारी नहीं हुई है। रोहित के भाई मोहित ने बताया कि वह उनकी मां सुनीता और रोहित रामदरबार में रहते हैं।
रोहित जीरकपुर में मोबाइल का काम करता था। उसने 3 साल पहले रामदरबार की ही रहने वाली कोमल के साथ लव मैरिज की थी। शादी के बाद करीब 2 साल तक उनका लड़की वालों के साथ मेल-जोल नहीं था। 3 मई को कोमल और रोहित के बीच में किसी बात को लेकर विवाद हुआ तो कोमल गुस्से में मायके चली गई थी। 11 मई रात को करीब 8 बजे रोहित, उसकी मां और अन्य रिश्तेदार कोमल के घर उसे मनाने के लिए गए थे।

निशा शर्मा के खिलाफ दहेज उत्पीड़न का केस
निशा शर्मा के खिलाफ दहेज उत्पीड़न का केस
दहेज के खिलाफ आवाज उठाकर और बरात लौटाकर निशा शर्मा ने 10 साल पहले सुर्खियां बटोरी थीं। अब वही दहेज के केस में फंस गई है। उनकी भाभी मनीषा के परिजनों ने पानीपत के समालखा थाने में उसके समेत परिजनों के खिलाफ दहेज उत्पीड़न समेत अनेक धाराओं में एफआईआर दर्ज करवाई है। इस मामले मंे निशा के भाई को पुलिस ने रेड डालकर 8 जनवरी को गिरफ्तार भी कर लिया है।
मनीषा के पिता विजय शर्मा की ओर से दर्ज करवाई गई एफआईआर के अनुसार, उन्होंने करीब 3 साल पहले अपनी बेटी की शादी सेक्टर-61 निवासी ज्ञानेश्वर शर्मा से की थी। इस शादी से उन्हें एक बच्चा भी हुआ। एफआईआर के मुताबिक, मनीषा के ससुर डी. डी. शर्मा, सास हेमलता शर्मा, पति ज्ञानेश्वर शर्मा और ननद निशा शर्मा ने 12 लाख रुपये दहेज मांगा और न ला पाने पर उसके साथ मारपीट शुरू कर दी। कई बार उन्होंने उन्हें समझाने की कोशिश भी की लेकिन उन पर कोई असर नहीं हुआ। आरोप है कि पिछले साल ठंड मंे उन्होंने स्वेटर उतरवाकर मनीषा से कई बार पूरे घर में पोंछा लगवाया और मना करने पर मारपीट की।
एफआईआर में कहा गया है कि पिछले साल मामला यहां तक बढ़ा कि मनीषा के ससुरालियों ने उसे घर से निकाल दिया। इसके बाद से वह समालखा में रहने को मजबूर हैं। अब वे मनीषा को जबरन तलाक देकर अपने बेटे ज्ञानेश्वर की दूसरी शादी कराने की योजना बना रहे हैं। इस मामले में उनकी तहरीर पर पुलिस ने निशा शर्मा समेत चारों ससुरालियों के खिलाफ धारा 498ए (स्त्री के साथ ससुरालियों द्वारा क्रूरता करना), 506 (जान से मारने की धमकी देना), 504 (गालीगलौज करना), 406 (शादी में दिए सामानों पर कब्जा करना) के आरोप में नामजद मुकदमा दर्ज कर लिया है। मुकदमे के बाद समालखा पुलिस ने 8 जनवरी को नोएडा में रेड डालकर मनीषा के पति ज्ञानेश्वर शर्मा को अरेस्ट कर लिया। उनके ससुर डी. डी. शर्मा, सास हेमलता शर्मा और ननद निशा शर्मा को फरार बताया जा रहा है। पुलिस उनकी गिरफ्तारी का प्रयास कर रही है।

मां ने अपने प्रेमी के सामने परोस दिया बेटी का जिस्म
मां ने अपने प्रेमी के सामने परोस दिया बेटी का जिस्म
बेलगाम। तमाम मंदिरों में आरती के वक्त आपने ये शब्द सुने होंगे,
"पूत कपूत सुने, पर नहीं सुनी माता कभी कुमाता।" अफसोस हमारे देश की
संकीर्ण मानसिकता और बढ़ते यौन अपराध के बीच ये बातें भी अब बेईमानी लगने
लगी हैं। हम बात कर रहे हैं कर्नाटक के बेलगाम की, जहां एक महिला ने अपनी
ही बेटी का जिस्म अपने प्रेमी के सामने परोस दिया।
जरा सोचिये उस बच्ची पर क्या बीत रही होगी, जिसकी मां ने ही उसका
बलात्कार करवा डाला। मां वो भी सौतेली नहीं, सगी मां। यह मामला बेलगाम के
चिक्कोडी तालुक का है, जहां के सिद्धापुरवाड़ी इलाके में शेभा राजू हदलगी
नाम की महिला रहती है। करीब 6 साल पहले उसका एक्स्ट्रा मेरिटल अफेयर शुरू
हुआ अप्पा साहेब नाम के एक व्यक्ति से। अप्पा साहेब लगभग हर रोज शोभा
के पास जाता और दोनों के बीच यौन संबंध स्थापित हो गये।
belgaum woman held for letting lover to rape daughter
ये सिलसिला छह सालों तक चलता रहा, और इस बीच शोभा की बेटी भी बड़ी हो गई।
घर में ये सब होता देख बेटी अपनी मां से नफरत करने लगी। लेकिन अप्पा साहेब
की नजरों से वो बच नहीं पायी। करीब डेढ़ महीने पहले 19 वर्षीय बेटी पर
अप्पा की नजर पड़ी। उसने शोभा से उसकी बेटी की डिमांड कर दी। शोभा ने बिना
झिझक उसकी बात मान ली और बेटी से अप्पा के साथ सेक्स करने को कहा। बेटी
इस बात के लिये कतई तैयार नहीं हुई। वो डरी, रोयी गिड़गिड़ाई और विरोध
किया।
करीब एक महीने पहले शोभा ने बेटी को कोल्ड ड्रिंक में नींद की गोलियां
मिलाकर दे दीं। जब बेटी बेहोशी की हालत में बिस्तर पर पड़ी थी, तभी उसने
अप्पा को कमरे के अंदर भेज दिया। यह सिलसिला हर रोज चलने लगा। दोनों ने
मिलकर उसे डराया-धमकाया और घर में बंद कर दिया। हर रोज बिस्तर पर हवस का
शिकार होने वाली उस वह बेटी तीन दिन पहले मौका पाकर घर से निकल आयी और उसने
पड़ोस में रहने वाली अपनी दूर की चाची को व्यथा सुनायी। चाची ने पुलिस का
सहारा लिया और पुलिस ने तत्परता दिखाते हुए शोभा को गिरफ्तार कर लिया।
अप्पा साहेब अभी फरार है।

Daughter-in-law's false complaint drives elderly couple to suicide
Daughter-in-law's false complaint drives elderly couple to suicide
CHENNAI: An elderly couple killed themselves after their daughter-in-law lodged a complaint against them after a petty quarrel at Ponappakam near Thiruvallur.
Police said Nakshatiram, 65, and Jothi, 60, used to live with their son Raj alias Adhisayam, 43, daughter-in-law Chitra, 40, and granddaughter Mayanthi, 13.
On Saturday evening Mayanthi was having a bath and splashed water on her grandmother by mistake for which Jothi chided her. But Chitra, who got angry with Jothi for chastising Mayanthi, started a quarrel. Nakshatram intervened and managed to calm the two women.
Chitra, not wanting to let go of the matter, approached police saying her father-in-law had tried to misbehave with her. Police went to the house in the evening and carried out enquires.
On Sunday morning, Raj noticed his parents were sleeping till late and went to wake them up, but was shocked to find them frothing from the mouth. He alerted his neighbours who rushed them to the Thiruvallur Government Hospital, where they were declared brought dead. Investigation revealed that the couple had consumed poison mixed with curd.
As the news of the death spread, villagers gathered and asked Raj and Chitra to leave the village as they had brought disrepute. They alleged that the elderly couple had committed suicide upset over Chitra's false complaint. Police reached the spot managed to pacify the angry mob. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Daughter-in-laws-false-complaint-drives-elderly-couple-to-suicide/articleshow/20143131.cms

Easy divorce a threat to family ties
Easy divorce a threat to family ties
The proposal to introduce 'irretrievable breakdown of marriage' as a
ground for divorce is aimed at giving a spouse the right to walk out of a
wrecked marriage.
But allowing one of the parties to take a decision to end a relationship which is basically contractual, might lead to victimisation of the other party. It is indeed traumatic for a spouse to be forced to continue in a practically non-existent marriage but dissolving such a relationship without the consent of the other spouse, who might not be at fault, could amount to injustice.
The incorporation of this additional ground for divorce in the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act would, for the first time, allow a spouse to unilaterally seek dissolution of an unhappy marriage on the ground that it cannot be salvaged. At present, this is allowed only on faults of adultery, cruelty and desertion by the other party. There is no doubt that divorce based primarily on fault cannot deal with incompatible marriages but such situations are by and large taken care of by the provision permitting divorce with mutual consent.
The proposal might harm the institution of marriage and lead to victimisation of women. It empowers a court to allow an application for dissolution of a broken marriage if the parties had been living apart for three or more years.
However, there is a proposal for giving wives the exclusive right to oppose such petitions filed by husbands. Though this might benefit a certain class of women, it would hardly mean anything to a majority of women in the country.
There have been instances of women being turned out of matrimonial homes for a variety of reasons, especially for not bringing adequate dowry. Such cases seldom get reported, in the hope in the hope of reconciliation. Husbands, in such cases, would have an advantage with wives having nothing on record to repel the argument of irretrievable breakdown of marriage by him.
Thus, the benefits of the proposed amendments, in the absence of more safeguards, are outweighed by the dangers they pose. More so, when the existing provisions have already been able to substantially deal with the problem. A spouse can seek divorce on the ground of desertion if the other has abandoned him or her for over two years.
Mutual consent is the answer to the argument that a non-existent relationship should not be kept alive on paper. If a marriage breaks down, the parties to the marriage should jointly take a decision. Leaving the decision to one of them would make all other provisions of divorce virtually meaningless. A party would claim that the marriage has broken down rather than try to prove fault of the other party. The courts have already expanded the meaning of cruelty to include almost everything- denying sex, abusing, not staying with the husband and even refusing to cook food for the husband.
A case of irretrievable breakdown would squarely fall within the meaning of desertion and cruelty but a party at fault cannot seek divorce on these grounds. With irretrievable breakdown being added when desertion was already a ground for divorce, the former would have to be interpreted in a liberal manner.
In what could shed light on the problems in store, the Supreme Court in 2006 dissolved a marriage on the ground of irretrievable breakdown using its extraordinary powers of going beyond law under Article 142. Ironically, the husband, who knew the girl closely before deciding to marry, claimed that their marriage had broken down due to the basic difference in their social status and inability of the wife to adjust to a middle class life. Doesn't this make all inter-class marriages vulnerable?
'No fault divorce' would only increase the divorce rate in the country. This would have been fine if starting a new life was easy. This is not so in a country where most marriages are arranged.
Backing family ties, Justice Krishna Iyer, in a judgment in 1978, stressed that the erotic doctrine of 'sip every flower and change every hour' and the philosophy of philandering self-fulfilment had to be combated on a militant basis.
Media trial unites the jurists of our time
The media is virtually on trial before the Supreme Court for its 'excesses'. A Constitution bench of the SC is considering an application seeking guidelines for the media on reporting of matters that are subjudice. But there is a stark contrast between the aggression with which critics react to, what is often termed as, trial by media and the non-adversarial nature of the trial of the media before the court.
Eminent lawyer Fali S Nariman, appearing for none other than the applicant company itself, set the tone for the hearing by stating at the outset that the court was empowered to frame normative guidelines but not guidelines which could be enforced as a law.
He was followed by Soli J Sorabjee, G E Vahanvati and Rajeev Dhawan, all of whom defended media freedom. Many more are likely to follow as the hearing progresses.
Initially many journalists were apprehensive but their concerns have now taken a backseat with the legal stalwarts of our time taking up cudgels for the media.
The SC, being a court of record, has certain inherent powers and could well decide to frame guidelines for the media on its own. But it is presently considering guidelines on an application filed by a company.
A reading of the application which is being heard by the Constitution bench, however, shows that it had been filed on the directions of the court itself.
House for Mr Nariman has a rich foundation
Solicitor General Rohington Nariman couldn't have been allotted a better official bungalow in the national capital. Nariman has been given the bungalow which once housed the first Solicitor General of India, C K Daphtary.
The address - 3, Krishna Menon Marg - also makes him a neighbor of Chief Justice S H Kapadia.
Daphtary, who features in the Bar Council of India's list of legends, was appointed the first Solicitor General in 1951 and was subsequently made the Attorney General in 1963.
The bungalow was recently vacated by former defence minister George Fernandes, who had been living there since 1998.
'Hindu link' to terror law
A controversial proposal by the government to include a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) within the definition of a person in the existing antiterror law has been opposed by Parliamentarians.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs has taken exception to insertion of section 2(i)(eb) to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act to define "person" as an individual, a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), a company, a firm etc. The government, which proposes to amend the law to deal with terror funds, stressed that the definition was consistent with the definition in the Income Tax Act.
The committee, however, pointed out that incorporation of HUF in the Income Tax Act was meant to give some tax relief to people falling in the category. The committee said a person should mean what it does in common parlance as well as in criminal law.

Men seek equality, say divorce laws treat husbands as ATMs
Men seek equality, say divorce laws treat husbands as ATMs
Men seek equality, say divorce laws treat husbands as ATMs
The latest decision of the Union cabinet to
amend divorce laws has been opposed by organisations which say they work
to protect the rights of men.
These organisations claim that divorce laws favour the interests of women and reduce men to being ATMs, good enough to extract money any time.
“The new law should not make marriage a property transfer bureau and turn husbands into free ATM money. Everywhere around the world, in case of divorce, the property of both spouses is divided. But here it is being suggested that only the husband’s property must be divided,” said Niladri Das of Save Family Foundation, a Delhi-based organisation.
This foundation was one of the organisations called by the Parliamentary Committee headed by Union minister Jayanthi Natarajn, which looked into the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010.
The foundation claims to have an active membership of 5,000 people, and has a network spread across the country through 40 NGOs.
The organisation claimed that it has been getting panic calls from men who want to understand the nuances and the financial implications of the amendment.
“Several men are calling to seek suggestions on whether they should sell off their property. Some who are planning to buy a house are confused whether they should go ahead or not,” Das said.
Alimony issues
He also objected to other clauses in the proposed amendment, such as the duration of marriage as a determinant for computing the amount of alimony to a woman.
“Across the world, the duration of marriage is taken into account to finalise the amount of alimony. But in our country, whether it is a month or 20 years, the matter is treated as the same,” he added.
Das said they have been highlighting these issues at several forums and will continue to do so.
Organisation members demanded that the revised comprehensive Bill should be gender neutral, with sufficient inbuilt safeguards to prevent misuse against any gender.
The words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ should be replaced by ‘spouse’ in the Bill, a member of Save Family Foundation said.

Father seeks euthanasia for son
Father seeks euthanasia for son
MADURAI: A coolie in Kanyakumari district has sought permission for euthanasia of his infant son, who has been suffering from an unknown disorder since his birth.
Dennis Kumar of Vandavillai near Marthandam, in his petition to the Kanyakumari district collector has said that he was married to Sujatha, two years ago. When she became pregnant, he had wanted the best treatment for his wife and child and consulted a private nursing home in Marthandam. He had taken his wife for regular check-ups and the doctors had claimed that everything was well.
On June 4, 2011 when he took his wife to the hospital, the staff there told him that she would deliver only on June 7 and sent them home. However, she started bleeding heavily on the night of June 4 and he had to rush her to the hospital. As the doctors were not present at the hospital during that time, the nurses there had allegedly told him to clean his wife's bleeding and he had complied. When the doctor came at 4am, the woman was rushed to the delivery room, where she delivered a baby boy. They had kept the mother and infant in the hospital for a few days before discharging them. Fifteen days later, when he took the infant to hospital for a check-up, the doctor had told him that the infant was looking unhealthy and asked the mother to feed him well. But, the child developed fits in the hospital itself and the doctor had asked Kumar to admit him.
However, Kumar said that he had lost confidence in the doctors and refused to admit the child there but had sought a letter of reference to another hospital, based on which he took his son to Thiruvananthapuram. The doctors in the hospital there told him that the child seemed to have suffered from the lack of glucose during birth after an MRI scan.
He prayed that he be given permission for euthanasia for his infant son who was suffering for the past 11 months, as his movements were restricted due to his unsteady neck. The man claimed that he had spent more than Rs five lakh on his son's medical expenses and was unable to spend more. Euthanasia would put him and his son out of misery, he claimed.
Kumar has also sent similar petitions to the chief minister's special cell. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/madurai/Father-seeks-euthanasia-for-son/articleshow/20098633.cms

17-year-old girl attacks another for refusing to marry her, held
17-year-old girl attacks another for refusing to marry her, held
BHIWANI: This borders on the bizarre. A 17-year-old girl was arrested for allegedly attacking another girl, also a minor, with a knife when she turned down her marriage proposal, in a village near here.
Police said that both the girls were classmates and the accused was held on the complaint of the victim's parents.
The accused girl, who has been sent to a juvenile home in Hisar, had also threatened to commit suicide if the latter didn't marry her, police said.
The cops failed to placate the accused minor girl even with the help of counsellors, said a senior police officer. She has been booked on charges of assault and suicide bid threat.
Both the girls are studying in government senior secondary girls' school in Sanwar village. They passed Class XI exams recently and were promoted to Class XII.
Probe revealed that the girls have been close friends for the last three years and spent most of the time together in school and after it too, said the officer.
However, trouble began when the accused insisted on marrying the other girl. Shocked at her proposal, the victim girl revealed the matter to her parents, who tried to sort out the matter by counselling her.
But she refused to listen to their pleas and attacked the victim girl with a knife, causing injury, when the latter was alone at her house on Monday.
The terrified girl, along with her parents, approached Bond police on Wednesday evening and lodged a complaint against her.
Bond police station SHO Daya Singh said that the accused minor has been booked for assaulting her classmate and for threatening to commit suicide. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/17-year-old-girl-attacks-another-for-refusing-to-marry-her-held/articleshow/20115470.cms

HC comes to aid of parents harassed by daughters-in-law
HC comes to aid of parents harassed by daughters-in-law
The Delhi High Court on Thursday spelt relief to a large number of aged parents tormented by their daughters-in-law, eyeing matrimonial property after separation from their husbands. The court ruled that a daughter-in-law cannot claim the right to live in a property owned by her in-laws or to inherit if her husband has moved out.
“One cannot shy away from the hard-hitting reality that it is not always the daughter-in-law who is berated but at times the in-laws who are at the receiving end of the daughter-in-law’s cantankerousness (crankiness). It should not be consigned to oblivion that the parents-in-law have every right to live in peace in their own property and the right to property vested in them cannot be snatched away and used as a tool to harass them,” said Justice Kailash Gambhir.
“The daughter-in-law has no right to stay in the said property especially after the exit of her husband from the property," Justice Gambhir added.
Many harassed parents — whose daughters-in-law continue to live with them even after separation from their sons with an eye on the property and maintenance, even when the son has left their home — can draw relief from this judgment.
The remarks came while delivered judgement in a suit filed by a mother-in-law Radha seeking a direction to her son and daughter-in-law to vacate her house.
Her son Suraj had married Renuka on April 27, 2009. But soon serious differences arose between them after which Suraj moved out.
Radha complained of harassment at Renuka's hands. Renuka too filed a complaint of domestic violence, claimed maintenance and a decree declaring the matrimonial house as her sole and exclusive property. Perusing the files, the judge came to the conclusion that the property was owned by her mother-in-law and could not be treated as a joint family property.

Her son Suraj had married Renuka on April 27, 2009. But soon serious differences arose between them after which Suraj moved out.
Radha complained of harassment at Renuka's hands. Renuka too filed a complaint of domestic violence, claimed maintenance and a decree declaring the matrimonial house as her sole and exclusive property. Perusing the files, the judge came to the conclusion that the property was owned by her mother-in-law and could not be treated as a joint family property.

Noida: Man hangs self after argument with wife
Noida: Man hangs self after argument with wife
GREATER NOIDA: A marketing manager of a private garment factory committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling fan in his Greater Noida residence on Wednesday evening. Police said that a note has been recovered and the suicide was prompted by a fight the 38-year-old man had with his wife earlier in the day.
Police have identified the deceased as Satyender, a native of Bihar who lived in Sector Sigma 1 of Greater Noida. He had been married since 1994. Police said he had an argument with his wife around 5pm following which he asked her to leave the house. "She didn't want to extend the argument, so went to a neighbour's house. After 20 minutes she returned and found the house locked. She tried calling her husband on his phone, but there was no response," said a senior police officer.

High court chief justice for new law on live-in relationships
High court chief justice for new law on live-in relationships
Chief Justice of Orissa high court C Nagappan
on Thursday said live-in relationships must be recognized by the law
and it is important to understand that the society is changing.
"Introducing a new law for live-in relationships is difficult and
complex but the legal system must accommodate them," he said at a
seminar on 'Live-in relationship and rights of maintenance' at University Law College here.
Citing past judgment of the Supreme Court, justice Nagappan said,
"Live-in relationship is not an offence, rather it is a fundamental
right of personal liberty. But at the same time we cannot build a safe
and secure society on the basis of such relationships. There is no
commitment, very less responsibility and very easy to breakup. Live in
relationships can be best described as a perfect rehearsal of married
life."
He added that there are provisions in Domestic Violence Act for the male partner to take responsibility of the woman but the Supreme Court
has laid down some conditions for it, including that the couple must be
of legal age to marry, they must make it clear that they are living as
spouses and they must be voluntarily cohabited.
High court
judge Justice M M Das, cited 'loss of faith', 'suspicion' and growing
'insecurity' among youngsters as main reasons for which more and more
people want to be in live-in relationships these days. "Today's
youngsters think it's better to be in a live-in relationship than
getting divorced after a few days of marriage. Live-in relationship has
become a pre-condition before marriage and unfortunately we don't have
any legislation to protect the relationship."
Among others director of GITAM, Y Satyanarayan, dean of Rajiv Gandhi
Institute of Intellectual Property Law, K Bibhuti, vice chancellor of
Utkal University P K Sahoo and principal of University Law College A K
Azad were present on the occasion. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/High-court-chief-justice-for-new-law-on-live-in-relationships/articleshow/20100960.cms

गैंग रेप का आरोप लगाने वाली महिला निकली 'फ्रॉड'
गैंग रेप का आरोप लगाने वाली महिला निकली 'फ्रॉड'
नई दिल्ली. बीते साल 16 दिसंबर को नई दिल्ली में चलती बस में हुए गैंगरेप के मामले की सुनवाई सोमवार से फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट में शुरू हो गई है। इस केस के बाद देश भर में महिलाओं की सुरक्षा और सम्मान को लेकर काफी बहस हुई और हंगामा भी हुआ, लेकिन बलात्कार की घटनाएं रुक नहीं रही हैं। (इलाहाबाद में वीसी पर छेड़छाड़ का केस)
लेकिन इन सबके बीच चंडीगढ़ की घटना ने सभी को हैरान कर दिया है। पंजाब
पुलिस ने दावा किया है कि गैंग रेप का आरोप लगाने वाली महिला ने आरोपियों को जानबूझकर फंसाया
है। समाचार एजेंसी 'पीटीआई' ने बठिंडा के एसएसपी रबचरण बरार के हवाले से
कहा है कि गैंग रेप की शिकार महिला के खिलाफ साल भर पहले पंजाब के फजिल्का
में हत्या की कोशिश का एक मामला दर्ज है और वह फिलहाल बेल पर थी।
एसएसपी ने कहा कि गैंग रेप की शिकार महिला नर्स है और इससे पहले
बठिंडा में काम कर रही थी जहां वह एक सुनील नाम के शख्स से संपर्क में आई
जो विवाहित है। दोनों के बीच रिश्ते बने। इसी बीच, सुनील की पत्नी का
एचआईवी टेस्ट पोजिटिव आया। सुनील की पत्नी ने अपने पति और इस महिला के
खिलाफ शिकायत दर्ज कराई। सुनील अब भी जेल में बंद है जबकि यह महिला जमानत
पर बाहर आ गई है।
महिला के आरोपों के मुतातिबक शुक्रवार को चंडीगढ़ के सेक्टर-43 बस
स्टैंड से उसे अगवा किया गया और दो दिन तक बंधक बनाकर रखा गया। उसका अश्लील
वीडियो भी बनाया गया। रविवार शाम 5.45 बजे उसे बठिंडा-डबवाली रोड पर कार
से फेंक दिया गया। एक व्यक्ति ने उसे सड़क पर बेहोश देखा और बठिंडा के
सिविल अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया। लड़की की हालत खतरे से बाहर बताई जाती है।
लेकिन जब भी उसे होश आ रहा है, वह सिहर उठती है। (पढ़े़ : अस्पताल का ताजा हाल, चश्मदीद का बयान!)
लड़की ने बताया कि कार में एक महिला और दो पुरुष थे। एक व्यक्ति ने
इंजेक्शन लगाकर उसे बेहोश कर दिया। जब उसे होश आया तो उसने खुद को एक कमरे
में पाया। एक व्यक्ति उसका अश्लील वीडियो बना रहा था। पुलिस ने बताया कि बेहोशी की हालत में छात्रा के साथ कई लोगों ने दुष्कर्म किया। उसे बार-बार बेहोश कर उसके साथ गैंगरेप किया गया।
मोगा के लंडेके गांव की 26 वर्षीय छात्रा ने शुक्रवार दोपहर सेक्टर-43
बस स्टैंड के बाहर एक कार वाले से मुकुट अस्पताल का पता पूछा था। उस
व्यक्ति ने उसे बातों-बातों में अपनी कार में धकेल दिया। लड़की चिल्लाई।
लेकिन, जब तक कोई उसकी आवाज सुनता, आरोपी कार को तेजी से भगा ले गया।

Cops bust gang of matchmaking crooks who conned 15 families
Cops bust gang of matchmaking crooks who conned 15 families
The Borivali police have busted a gang that cons families of lakhs by posing as matchmakers. The police arrested two members of the gang, Kalpana Patel (42) and Asha Patel (45), who posed as a matchmaker and the mother of the prospective bride, respectively. Jyoti Patel (22), who posed as the bride, is absconding. The gang is believed to have duped 14 families in Gujarat and one in Maharashtra of over Rs 50 lakh using this method.
About two months ago, complainant Bharat Dave (30) and his family got in touch with Kalpana Patel, who lived at Gorai. Dave had been told that she was a matchmaker and would find a suitable bride for him from within the community.
Kalpana promised Bharat's family the perfect bride and introduced them to Asha, saying that she had a daughter who would be suitable for Bharat. Bharat and his family subsequently met Jyoti's fake one, and the two parties decided to go ahead with the wedding. On March 18 Jyoti, alias Khushboo, and Bharat wed at Bandra court.
Just a day after the wedding, Kalpana and Asha stole Rs 1 lakh from Bharat's home and escaped to Valsad. Bharat, unaware of the theft, took Jyoti out shopping. When they returned home, Jyoti told Bharat that she had forgotten a package in one of the shops and would go back to get it. She put all her new jewellery in her purse and left the house, never to return.
After waiting a long time for her to return, Bharat finally lodged a complaint with the Borivali police. Investigations led the cops to Valsad, where they learnt that the gang had duped 14 families. With the help of the local police and the suspects' cell phone locations, the police tracked down Kalpana and Asha, arrested them and charged them with cheating and theft. The rest of the gang, including Jyoti, managed to give cops the slip.
Additonal Commission of Police (north region) Sunil Paraskar said, "Till now we have only arrested two people. We are on the trail of the rest and will nab them soon."

Rape accused kills self after ‘victim’ admits false charges
Rape accused kills self after ‘victim’ admits false charges
A man facing a rape trial committed suicide in Indore days after the complainant reportedly admitted that he had only tried to hold her hand after a fight over money.
Roopkishore, 53, was found dead in his home in Palasia locality on Sunday, four days after the woman, 33, admitted during trial that she had falsely charged him with rape to avoid repaying the money her husband owed him.
The woman, who is Roopkishore's tenant, had accused him of raping her on December 26. The police booked him under Section 376 of the IPC and arrested him.
In his defence, Roopkishore, a moneylender, said he had lent some money to the woman's husband for buying a vehicle, and she had framed him to avoid repaying it.
After spending over two months in jail, Roopkishore was released on bail on March 8. During the next hearing on March 13, the woman admitted that the rape charge was false.
On Sunday, Roopkishore left his home in Shubhlabh Residency, where he lived with his wife and daughter. He was found hanging in his other house in Ganeshdham Colony.
Roopkishore reportedly left a suicide note blaming his tenant and her husband.
ACP Ramji Shrivastava said the police were yet to verify the suicide note. He said the suicide note was not found on his body, it was handed over by Roopkishore's family members. He said the police would submit the note to the court.

दूल्हा करता रहा इंतजार, आठ लाख लेकर परिवार सहित गायब हुई दुल्हन
दूल्हा करता रहा इंतजार, आठ लाख लेकर परिवार सहित गायब हुई दुल्हन
उदयपुर। सागवाड़ा (डूंगरपुर) के ओबरी कस्बे से रविवार को उदयपुर के सेक्टर 14 पहुंची बारात में एकबारगी हंगामा हो गया जब पता चला कि दुल्हन पक्ष से वहां कोई आया ही नहीं। दूल्हे के पिता कुबेर कांत पुरोहित ने थाने में दुल्हन के पिता जयदेव शर्मा के खिलाफ धोखाधड़ी का मामला दर्ज कराया है।
कुबेर कांत ने बताया कि उनके बेटे मिलन की शादी जयदेव की बेटी पल्लवी से 12 मई को तय हुई थी। छह महीने पहले सगाई हुई थी।
पिछले सप्ताह लड़की वालों को दस्तूर के आठ तोला वजनी सोने के जेवर और 40 हजार रुपए के कपड़े दिए थे। शनिवार रात बातचीत में लड़की के पिता ने तीतरड़ी स्थित भट्ट मेवाड़ा ब्राह्मण समाज के छात्रावास में बारातियों के स्वागत और नाश्ते की व्यवस्था होना बताया। इसके बाद जयदेव और परिवार के लोगों के मोबाइल स्विच ऑफ हो गए। सुबह बारात छात्रावास पहुंची। जलपान के बाद लड़की के घर सूचना कराई तो वहां ताला मिला। वधू पक्ष का कुछ पता नहीं चलने पर कुबेर कांत शाम चार बजे बारात लेकर लौट गए।

बारात को घर बुलाकर फ रार होने वाले परिवार ने पुत्री के विवाह के लिए वर पक्ष से 4.25 लाख की नकदी, आभूषण सहित कुल आठ लाख रुपए का सामान लिया। इतना खर्चा करने के बावजूद बारात बैरंग लौटने से दूल्हे का परिवार गहरे सदमे में है। उसके बीमार पिता की अभी संभल नहीं पाए हैं। घर पर ताला लगाकर दुल्हन के साथ भागे पूरे परिवार का अभी पता नहीं चल पाया है।
इधर,परिवार के साथ भागी दुल्हन की शादीशुदा बहन के पति ने भी सागवाड़ा थाने में धोखाधड़ी का मामला दर्ज करवाया है। उससे भी दुल्हन का पिता डेढ़ लाख रुपए नकद उधार ले गया, वहीं उसकी पत्नी करीब आठ तोला सोना साथ ले गई।
उल्लेखनीय है कि दुल्हन का पिता जयदेव शर्मा दुल्हन व अपनी तीन शादीशुदा पुत्रियों व परिवार के साथ शादी से ठीक पहले गायब हो गया। इस परिवार की मोबाइल के अनुसार लोकेशन जयपुर में होने की जानकारी पर पुलिस ने वहां दबिश दी, लेकिन उनका कोई पता नहीं लगा।

Woman asked to pay Rs 1.25L for implicating dalit in rape case
JABALPUR: Falsely implicated in a rape case and proved innocent later, Ramlal Akhande, a 32-year-old primary school teacher from Paretha, Burhanpur could be the first dalit male to receive compensation under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (prevention of atrocities) Act 1989 in a rape frame up.
Akhande got richer by Rs 1.25 lakh last week after a DNA report of the complainant Vaijyanti Yaduvanshi turned out to be negative bellying the allegations. The false charge, according to the police was intended to mount pressure on Akhande by the woman whose husband is serving a life sentence for raping his 14 year-old niece five months ago.
Meanwhile, the police has registered a case under SC/ST Act 3 (2) (2) and 3 (1) (9) and section 182, 211 and 195 of the Indian Penal Code against Vajyanati and her two accomplices.

'लीगल टेररिजम बन गया है दहेज कानून'
'लीगल टेररिजम बन गया है दहेज कानून'
राजेश चौधरी ।। नई दिल्ली
दहेज उत्पीड़न से संबंधित कानून का हाल के दिनों में जबर्दस्त दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। लोगों के अधिकारों का गंभीर उल्लंघन हो रहा है। कई बार धारा-498ए के जरिए उगाही तक की जाती है। कोर्ट को पता है कि यह लीगल टेररिजम की तरह है।
ये टिप्पणी अदालत ने दहेज उत्पीड़न के एक मामले में सास, ससुर, ननद, देवर और देवर की महिला फ्रेंड को आरोपमुक्त करते हुए की। अडिशनल सेशन जज कामिनी लॉ ने कहा कि सेक्शन 498ए (दहेज उत्पीड़न) उगाही, करप्शन और मानवाधिकार के उल्लंघन का जरिया बन गया है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इसे कानूनी आतंकवाद (लीगल टेररिजम) की संज्ञा देते हुए कहा था कि इसका दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। यह कानून बदला लेने और वसूली के लिए नहीं, गलत लोगों को सजा दिलाने के लिए है। कई बार पीड़िता गुमराह होकर तथ्यों को बढ़ा-चढ़ाकर पेश करती है। इससे जिन लोगों का कोई लेना-देना नहीं होता, उन्हें भी आरोपी बना दिया जाता है। जैसे इस मामले में किया गया। कोर्ट ने कहा कि शिकायतकर्ता महिला शादी के बाद 12 दिन ही ससुराल में रही और इस दौरान उसने सभी को फंसाने की कोशिश की। उसने देवर की महिला दोस्त को भी नहीं छोड़ा। भला देवर की दोस्त दहेज के लिए कैसे इंट्रेस्टेड हो सकती है।
जज कामिनी लॉ ने कहा कि निजी मकसद पूरा करने के लिए अदालतें प्लैटफॉर्म नहीं बन सकतीं। यह कोर्ट की ड्यूटी है कि वह सुनिश्चित करे कि पति की गलती के कारण उसके रिश्तेदारों को न फंसाया जा सके।

Left alone, man, woman will go for sex: Judge
Left alone, man, woman will go for sex: Judge
CHENNAI: "A man and woman, if left alone, will always go for sexual intercourse." This is what a Kancheepuram judge said while awarding life imprisonment to a murder accused last year. The judge's loose comments have drawn the ire of the Madras high court, which not only acquitted the accused but also decried the judge for arriving at "judicial conclusions purely based on surmises and conjunctures."
In the March 13, 2012 order sentencing Kattu Raja, a factory watchman, for murdering a co-worker, the district and sessions judge-II of Kancheepuram had said: "A man and woman, if left alone, will always go for sexual intercourse. In this case, the accused and the deceased might have been left alone. At that time, the accused would have advanced sexual overtures towards the deceased. She might have refused. Still there might have been sexual intercourse between them. Again, the accused would have invited her for sexual intercourse, which she would have refused. This would have resulted in an ill-feeling."
The order was quoted by the HC division bench of Justice K N Basha and Justice S Nagamuthu while acquitting Raja of all charges on April 30. Flaying the sessions judge for such loose comments, the bench said: "These observations of the trial court are based merely on conjectures. It is not understood as to how the court could come to a judicial conclusion that a man and woman, if left alone, will always go for sexual intercourse."
Police arrested Raja in connection with the murder of Mageshwari of Karanithangal village, near Chennai, in June 2008. While Raja was a watchman in the factory, Mageshwari was working on production line and they were "seen moving closely frequently" by others.
The Kancheepuram sessions court found him guilty of the offence on the basis of the circumstantial evidence such as his proximity to the victim, his disappearance from the work spot for a few days after the murder and his confession to police admitting to the crime.
The division bench, however, rejected the trial court's findings and said too much importance had been attached to the circumstantial evidence. "This is a case based on circumstantial evidence. It is a well established principle of law that in a case where the prosecution relies on circumstantial evidence, the circumstances projected should be proved beyond reasonable doubts."
Expressing shock at the trial court's reliance on confessions of Raja, the bench said, "The trial court has extracted the entire confession and in the concluding portion it says his confession had corroborated the evidence of other prosecution witnesses. This observation is really shocking. The court has relied entirely on the confession to come to the conclusion that the accused had illicit intimacy with the deceased. The court has relied on the confession by quoting it extensively, forgetting for a moment that Section 25 of the Evidence Act bars its admissibility."
Setting aside the life term and ordering Raja's release, the bench said: "Absolutely there is no evidence against Raja to prove any circumstances, even remotely pointing to the guilt of the accused. Mere suspicion based on surmises and conjunctures will not take the place of proof." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Left-alone-man-woman-will-go-for-sex-Judge/articleshow/20039616.cms

Fathers make a case for visitation rights
Fathers make a case for visitation rights

Don’t deny the child the love of one parent, they plead.
With the increasing number of divorce cases in India also comes the increasing issues of child custody and visitation rights.
Recently, the City witnessed a protest
demonstration where a few distraught men from men’s rights organisations
demanded gender neutral laws. These men appealed to the judiciary for
co- parenting and shared parenting so that their children could grow up
in a fair environment with the affection of both parents.
Come any vacation or, for that matter,
the time allotted by the court for fathers who do not have custody of
their children, these men allege they are being traumatised and denied
visitation rights by their estranged spouses.
Speaking about his estranged wife’s
reluctance to comply with the High Court’s order to allow him to visit
his five-year-old daughter every alternate week, the convener of Save
India Family Foundation (SIFF), Shah Ali, said, “Initially, I used to
meet my daughter in the car parking at my wife’s residence. After a few
weeks, she started denying me the right of meeting my child. Whenever I
go according to the time allotted by the court, my daughter looks at me
like a stranger. For no fault of hers, my daughter is denied the love of
her parents. This is contempt of court and to file another memorandum
is a time consuming process.”
What seems to be happening in cases
where spouses are not given joint custody is “parental alienation”,
where the custodial parent tries to deny the non-custodial parent the
court-ordered contract with the child.
Advocate Vishwa Janani said, “Most of
the children are comfortable with their mothers. Considering the fact
that even if the mother is working, the court gives custody of the child
to her. However, we cannot deny the father’s affection for the child. I
recall a case where a father was given visitation rights to meet his
12-year-old daughter every fortnight at the court premises. This father
used to eagerly look forward to meet his daughter. Since his daughter
loved math, he would get her a lot of puzzle games and the duo would
spend those two hours happily. This process continued for a couple of
times. After a while, the daughter was reluctant to meet her father,
which made it evident that she was tutored by her mother or mother’s
relatives. In such cases, what happens is the mother gets insecure after
the divorce and does not want to lose her child. She will look for ways
to avoid sending her child to the father.”
However, contempt of court gives the
non-custodial parent the right to seek help. If the visitation order is
violated, the court will decide whether the contempt was intentional or
not, then an order can be filed, said the advocate.
“The fathers should express their love
towards their children from the beginning and not only when the wife
files an application for custody. He should not speak against the mother
or her relatives to the child. Both the parents should realise that
because of their animosity, the child’s mental health can be affected.http://postnoon.com/2013/02/19/fathers-make-a-case-for-visitation-rights/109504
Protest against anti-family clauses in Hindu Marriage Bill
Protest against anti-family clauses in Hindu Marriage Bill
LUCKNOW: Army Against Dowry Law Misuse in India (AADMI) has demanded roll back of the alleged anti-family clauses in the upcoming bill which proposes to introduce "Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage" as a ground for divorce in the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act.
AADMI members, who also took out a protest march, said though the proposal is a welcome step, it has three controversial clauses which are totally anti-family and anti-husband. It points out that in the bill wherever exercising the rights has been mentioned, the person who can do it has been mentioned as "wife" instead of "spouse" which clearly indicates that the bill denies to extend its cover to husband. It is very clear that after marriage, a wife can get out of it at any point of time seeking divorce from her husband whereas no such legal provision has been given to a husband till date.
The bill says that along with allowing divorce, absolute rights will be given to the aggrieved wife on 50 per cent of husband's marital property. However, it does not mention division of wife's belongings and property at her maternal house, said the members. Also, the Bill does not deal with matters like custody of the children, visitation rights etc. Union cabinet has approved this bill with some amendments and at present it is with the "Group of Ministers" for approval before being tabled in the parliament.
AADMI demands include withdrawal of controversial clause and to make the bill gender neutral. Children must be given access to both biological parents in case of divorce or separation, government must first put an end to all false cases related to marital problems against men and the children should also have an equal share of the alimony amount given to the wife by the husband. They said while making amendments in the current laws, the government must also take into account a man's financial responsibilities towards his parents and also the family liabilities should be deducted before sanctioning the alimony figure to the wife.

Misuse of Domestic Violence Act
Misuse of Domestic Violence Act
The domestic violence act hereinafter referred as dv act which was
incorporated in the year 2005, The main purpose of this act is to
prevent woman only woman from domestic violence, from the bare reading
of the definition of the act we can see that the term “aggrieved person”
includes only women, means only the men can be prosecuted not the
woman, In the 21st century we treat women at par with men and there have
been many incidences where a women are involved in insult, humiliation,
verbal and emotional abuse to men. It is not a rare possibility that
women are indulging in domestic violence against men but this is a
reality, our constitution guarantees equality, means men and women must
be equally treated, then why in dv act there are provisions for women
only and not for men, why women are protected and why there is
presumption that men is the only gender which can do cruelty, domestic
violence on women, why not vice-versa.
The dv act has given an undue advantage to the
women and it is the most lethal weapon which women can use against men
to extort, exploit, and threaten men community just like terrorism. The
dv act has provisions like right to residence regardless of legal right
on the property, maintenance. The provision in law makes the law easily
vulnerable to misuse. which is a fact statistics have shown that only 2%
of all the cases have resulted in conviction and 98% of the cases are
deemed to be fake and there is no provision in dv act if a fake case is
lodged then there is no provision for punishment for the women. For the
name of protection of women the prosecution of innocent men is against
the rule of law, A women can misuse the law very easily like for
example A man can be booked under the DV
act if she feels that she has been insulted. Insult is a relative term,
which is totally left to her discretion. Interestingly, if she insults
and abuses him verbally or even physically, he does not have any legal
recourse in this law, even the minor differences in matrimonial ties
could invoke the provisions of DV act, moreover the procedure of law is
governed by CRPC that means a man even making a very light insult to a
women is treated like a criminal. if the case is false the reputation of
man and his family is tainted and there are no steps or legal
protection available to men to protect his reputation . In other words
this law treats men like sitting ducks.
For taking easy divorce and maintenance the DV
act is the first weapon used by the women even if she is not subjected
to any such type of domestic violence, even if the matter is sub-judice
the men are obliged to pay maintenance to women, this means that
punishment for men start as soon as false complaint is lodged, which is
against the principles of natural justice where there is presumption of
innocence.
The fact is DV act has failed to attend the
problems faced by women and men on subject of domestic violence, the law
is often misused then to be used. The need of the society is to make
more gender neutral laws which treat men and women equally in the cases
of domestic violence and not to induce fear in the minds of innocent
people like most of the men and give an extortion tool to the other
gender. The DV act is gender biased on the face of it, The DV act needs
to be amended with more gender neutral provisions to prevent its misuse
and to achieve gender equality and fair justice.

PANAJI: Goa Citizens Welfare trust has formed Dadleancho Ekvott, a cell to protect "innocent men" from harassment from false complaints against them.
Chairman Michael Ferns said in a statement that the trust is all for the protection of women and children but many a times, men are victimized based on false and concocted complaints. "Some anti-social elements are misusing the protection given to women by filing false complaints of abuse torture and harassment of innocent people".
"As I have first hand experience of such harassment, we are setting up a cell to protect men from false cases," Ferns said adding that "we will help any innocent man whose name has been tarnished with false charges".
He also demanded that the police investigate into complaints in detail before arresting "innocent" individuals and tarnishing the reputation of men who are not involved in such cases. Such men need to fight for justice, he added.

"Some anti-social elements are misusing the protection given to women by filing false complaints of abuse torture and harassment of innocent people".
"As I have first hand experience of such harassment, we are setting up a cell to protect men from false cases," Ferns said adding that "we will help any innocent man whose name has been tarnished with false charges".
He also demanded that the police investigate into complaints in detail before arresting "innocent" individuals and tarnishing the reputation of men who are not involved in such cases. Such men need to fight for justice, he added.

'लीगल टेररिजम बन गया है दहेज कानून'
'लीगल टेररिजम बन गया है दहेज कानून'
राजेश चौधरी ।। नई दिल्ली
दहेज उत्पीड़न से संबंधित कानून का हाल के दिनों में जबर्दस्त दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। लोगों के अधिकारों का गंभीर उल्लंघन हो रहा है। कई बार धारा-498ए के जरिए उगाही तक की जाती है। कोर्ट को पता है कि यह लीगल टेररिजम की तरह है।
ये टिप्पणी अदालत ने दहेज उत्पीड़न के एक मामले में सास, ससुर, ननद, देवर और देवर की महिला फ्रेंड को आरोपमुक्त करते हुए की। अडिशनल सेशन जज कामिनी लॉ ने कहा कि सेक्शन 498ए (दहेज उत्पीड़न) उगाही, करप्शन और मानवाधिकार के उल्लंघन का जरिया बन गया है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इसे कानूनी आतंकवाद (लीगल टेररिजम) की संज्ञा देते हुए कहा था कि इसका दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। यह कानून बदला लेने और वसूली के लिए नहीं, गलत लोगों को सजा दिलाने के लिए है। कई बार पीड़िता गुमराह होकर तथ्यों को बढ़ा-चढ़ाकर पेश करती है। इससे जिन लोगों का कोई लेना-देना नहीं होता, उन्हें भी आरोपी बना दिया जाता है। जैसे इस मामले में किया गया। कोर्ट ने कहा कि शिकायतकर्ता महिला शादी के बाद 12 दिन ही ससुराल में रही और इस दौरान उसने सभी को फंसाने की कोशिश की। उसने देवर की महिला दोस्त को भी नहीं छोड़ा। भला देवर की दोस्त दहेज के लिए कैसे इंट्रेस्टेड हो सकती है।
जज कामिनी लॉ ने कहा कि निजी मकसद पूरा करने के लिए अदालतें प्लैटफॉर्म नहीं बन सकतीं। यह कोर्ट की ड्यूटी है कि वह सुनिश्चित करे कि पति की गलती के कारण उसके रिश्तेदारों को न फंसाया जा सके।

रसोई गैस के झगड़े में पत्नी ने पति को गोली मारी
रसोई गैस के झगड़े में पत्नी ने पति को गोली मारी
इंदौर।। रसोई गैस के झगड़े में 19 साल की एक महिला ने अपने पति को गोली मार दी। गोलीबारी की इस घटना में पति बुरी तरह घायल हो गया है। पुलिस ने इस महिला को गिरफ्तार कर लिया है।
पुलिस सूत्रों ने बताया कि खजराना इलाके में नाजिया उर्फ सोनू (19) ने अपने पति आसिफ (29) को उसके अवैध देसी कट्टे से गोली मारकर बुरी तरह घायल कर दिया। सूत्रों ने बताया कि मियां-बीवी के बीच 19 फरवरी की रात रसोई गैस खत्म होने की बात पर जमकर झगड़ा हुआ। इस दौरान आगबबूला नाजिया ने अपने पति का देशी कट्टा उठाया और उस पर गोली दाग दी।
उन्होंने बताया कि गोलीबारी की सूचना के बाद मौके पर पहुंची पुलिस ने महिला को गिरफ्तार कर लिया। उसके बुरी तरह घायल पति को अस्पताल भी भर्ती कराया गया है। अस्पताल में उसकी हालत गंभीर बनी हुई है। सूत्रों ने आरोपी से शुरुआती पूछताछ के हवाले से बताया कि उसका पति उसके साथ आए दिन मारपीट व गाली-गलौज करता था और वह उसके बुरे बर्ताव से बेहद परेशान थी। पुलिस ने मामला दर्ज कर लिया है।

धारा 498-ए अप्राकृतिक व अन्यायपूर्ण!
धारा 498-ए अप्राकृतिक व अन्यायपूर्ण!
"केवल एफआईआर में नाम लिखवा देने मात्र के आधार पर ही पति-पक्ष के लोगों के विरुद्ध धारा-498ए के तहत मुकदमा नहीं चलाया जाना चाहिये"-सुप्रीम कोर्ट
डॉ. पुरुषोत्तम मीणा 'निरंकुश'
भारत की सबसे बड़ी अदालत, अर्थात्
सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा अनेकों बार इस बात पर चिन्ता प्रकट की जा चुकी है कि
भारतीय दण्ड संहिता की धारा 498-ए का जमकर दुरुपयोग हो रहा है। जिसका सबसे
बड़ा सबूत ये भी है कि इस धारा के तहत तर्ज किये जाने वाले मुकदमों में सजा
पाने वालों की संख्या मात्र दो फीसदी है! यही नहीं इस धारा के तहत मुकदमा
दर्ज करवाने के बाद समझौता करने का भी कोई प्रावधान नहीं हैं! ऐसे में इस
कानूनी व्यवस्था के तहत एक बार मुकदमा अर्थात् एफआईआर दर्ज करवाने के बाद
वर पक्ष को मुकदमें का सामना करने के अलावा अन्य कोई रास्ता नहीं बचता है।
जिसकी शुरुआत होती है, वरपक्ष के लोगों के पुलिस के हत्थे चढने से और
वरपक्ष के जिस किसी भी सदस्य का भी, वधुपक्ष की ओर से धारा 498ए के तहत
एफआईआर में नाम लिखवा दिया जाता है, उन सबको बिना ये देखे कि उन्होंने कोई
अपराध किया भी है या नहीं उनकी गिरफ्तारी करना पुलिस अपना परमकर्त्तव्य
समझती है!
ऐसे मामलों में आमतौर पर पुलिस पूरी
मुस्तेदी दिखाती देखी जाती है। जिसकी मूल में मेरी राय में दो बड़े कारण
हैं-पहला तो यह कि यह कानून न्यायशास्त्र के इस मौलिक सिद्धान्त का सरेआम
उल्लंघन करता है कि आरोप लगाने के बाद आरोपों को सिद्ध करने का दायित्व
अभियोजन या वादी पर नहीं डालकर आरोपी को कहता है कि "वह अपने आपको निर्दोष सिद्ध करे।"
जिसके चलते पुलिस को इस बात से कोई लेना-देना नहीं रहता कि बाद में चलकर
यदि कोई आरोपी छूट भी जाता है तो इसके बारे में उससे कोई सवाल-जवाब किये
जाने की समस्या नहीं होगी। वैसे भी पुलिस से कोई सवाल-जवाब किये भी कहॉं
जाते हैं?
दूसरा बड़ा कारण यह है कि ऐसे मामलों में पुलिस को अपना रौद्र रूप दिखाने का पूरा अवसर मिलता है और सारी दुनिया जानती है कि रौद्र रूप दिखाते ही सामने वाला निरीह प्राणी थर-थर कांपने लगता है! पुलिस व्यवस्था तो वैसे ही अंग्रेजी राज्य के जमाने की अमानवीय परम्पराओं और कानूनों पर आधारित है! जहॉं पर पुलिस को लोगों की रक्षक बनाने के बजाय, लोगों को डंडा मारने वाली ताकत के रूप में जाना और पहचाना जाता है! ऐसे में यदि कानून ये कहता हो कि 498ए में किसी को भी बन्द कर दो, यह चिन्ता कतई मत करो कि वह निर्दोष है या नहीं! क्योंकि पकड़े गये व्यक्ति को खुद को ही सिद्ध करना होगा कि वह दोषी नहीं है। अर्थात् अरोपी को अपने आपको निर्दोष सिद्ध करने के लिये स्वयं ही साक्ष्य जुटाने होंगे। ऐसे में पुलिस को पति-पक्ष के लोगों का तेल निकालने का पूरा-पूरा मौका मिल जाता है।
अनेक बार तो खुद पुलिस एफआईआर को फड़वाकर, अपनी सलाह पर पत्नीपक्ष के लोगों से ऐसी एफआईआर लिखवाती है, जिसमें पति-पक्ष के सभी छोटे बड़े लोगों के नाम लिखे जाते हैं। जिनमें-पति, सास, सास की सास, ननद-ननदोई, श्वसुर, श्वसुर के पिता, जेठ-जेठानियॉं, देवर-देवरानिया, जेठ-जेठानियों और देवर-देवरानिया के पुत्र-पुत्रियों तक के नाम लिखवाये जाते हैं। अनेक मामलों में तो भानजे-भानजियों तक के नाम घसीटे जाते हैं। पुलिस ऐसा इसलिये करती है, क्योंकि जब इतने सारे लोगों के नाम आरोपी के रूप में एफआईआर में लिखवाये जाते हैं तो उनको गिरफ्तार करके या गिरफ्तारी का भय दिखाकर अच्छी-खायी रिश्वत वसूलना आसान हो जाता है और अपनी तथाकथित जॉंच के दौरान ऐसे आलतू-फालतू-झूठे नामों को रिश्वत लेकर मुकदमे से हटा दिया जाता है। जिससे अदालत को भी अहसास कराने का नाटक किया जाता है कि पुलिस कितनी सही जॉंच करती है कि पहली ही नजर में निर्दोष दिखने वालों के नाम हटा दिये गये हैं।
ऐसे में सुप्रीम कोर्ट के न्यायाधीश द्वय टीएस ठाकुर और ज्ञानसुधा मिश्रा की बेंच का हाल ही में सुनाया गया यह निर्णय कि "केवल एफआईआर में नाम लिखवा देने मात्र के आधार पर ही पति-पक्ष के लोगों के विरुद्ध धारा-498ए के तहत मुकदमा नहीं चलाया जाना चाहिये", स्वागत योग्य है| यद्यपि यह इस समस्या का स्थायी समाधान नहीं है। जब तक इस कानून में से आरोपी के ऊपर स्वयं अपने आपको निर्दोष सिद्ध करने का भार है, तब तक पति-पक्ष के लोगों के ऊपर होने वाले अन्याय को रोक पाना असम्भव है, क्योंकि यह व्यवस्था न्याय का गला घोंटने वाली, अप्राकृतिक और अन्यायपूर्ण कुव्यवस्था है!

Man kills himself over dowry complaint
Man kills himself over dowry complaint
BANGALORE: Tirumallesh Reddy, a 29-year-old borewell drilling company employee, allegedly committed suicide in his office in Yelahanka New Town on Saturday morning.
Reddy was a resident of Chikkabanavara and worked for a company owned by his relative Lakshman Reddy near Mother Dairy Circle in Yelakanka. Tirumallesh had been separated from his wife Lakshmi for the past 18 months and she was staying in a rented house in the city. About ten days ago, she went to her parents' house in Andhra Pradesh to file a dowry harassment case against him with the Andhra police. Police had called him for the inquiry.
Police found he married Lakshmi, a relative, eight years ago. When they found the complaint could not attract a dowry harassment case, they asked the couple to settle the issue in court and tried to mediate a settlement. Tirumallesh was depressed and scared after his wife filed the complaint and this drove him to suicide, police said.
Before taking the extreme step, Reddy called company owner Lakshman and told him about a new customer who had asked about the company's services. He also told him he'd return to the office after going to Jakkur. Soon after, his mobile and office telephones went silent. Suspecting something amiss, Lakshman suspected something amiss and sent his nephew to look for Tirumallesh at his office
