Another ‘glorious’ statement by another SC judge
People haven’t forgotten the advice given last year by Justice Katju of Supreme Court to husbands “Do what the wife tells you and never question her authority.” . Now another ‘sage’ advice comes the way of Indian husbands from another SC judge Deepak Verma. However, one would expect more logic from an SC judge who says “restrictions on independence are like dividends”… it is difficult to fathom how is restriction on independence is a dividend in itself. It is more a tax than dividend. Since the judge has talked in financial terms to explain marriage, let us try to understand a bit deeper what he has said. In financial terms, a dividend is paid on an investment. In this case, the SC judge’s statement implies without doubt that the dividend is being given by husband to wife. So far so … [Read more...] about Another ‘glorious’ statement by another SC judge
Divorce made easier, or rather possible – but watch out!
This recent news about making "irretrievable breakdown of marriage" a ground for divorce has led to many people talking about how beneficial it will be for the separated couples who cannot get divorce under Hindu Marriage Act as it currently exists. The only problem is the definition of irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Most likely, it will not be granted for less than 5 years of separation. Then again, it will be need to be proved to the satisfaction of the court. Given the time taken by Indian courts, who is to say how many more years it might take once a divorce application is filed on this new proposed ground. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Govt-to-consider-making-it-easier-to-get-divorce/articleshow/6029884.cms NEW DELHI: Sparring couples may now have a way out … [Read more...] about Divorce made easier, or rather possible – but watch out!
And who could have thought of this?
I don’t know how the newspaper terms this as a significant judgment in a divorce case, since the HC judgment is specific to the particular case as given in news below. The important part I think is that though HC judgment was completely against the allegations, there are no costs at all (leave exemplary) ordered, or any strictures passed for bringing frivolous and vexatious cases to courts. http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_father-disallowing-children-to-watch-tv-is-not-cruelty-bombay-hc_1393090 Mumbai: In a significant judgment in a divorce case, the Bombay high court has held that decision of a father disallowing children from watching television programmes continuously and forcing them to go to bed early could not be termed as "cruelty".

Being prosecuted is no bar for getting job as judge
All people facing prosecution and then facing problems in getting private jobs due to some overzealous (read stupid) HR departments can use this Mumbai HC judgment in their favour. Sue the particular company for Rs 1 Crore at least for denying the job opportunity not based on merit, but on frivolous reasons. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics/nation/Candidate-facing-prosecution-cant-be-denied-post-of-Judge-HC/articleshow/6019675.cms MUMBAI: In an important order, the Bombay High Court has held that a candidate who has been selected for the post of a Magistrate or a Judge cannot be denied the appointment merely because he is facing prosecution.
