Karnataka HC issues Family Court Guidelines for interim Child Custody, reiterates Shared Parenting-Jyoti Priya Vs Paul Goodwin-August-2021
Following August 2021 judgment by Karnataka High Court on Principles for deciding Interim Child Custody orders is a first of a kind since so far, since the existing guidelines on Parenting Plan being followed by a few High Courts fell short on enunciating strongly the benefit of following principle of Shared Parenting in Child Custody and Interim Child Custody arrangements – and did not give mandatory guidelines to Family Courts in deciding Interim Custody orders. So the existing framework was more of a “Let’s follow these good ideas” without an authority of giving some broad mandatory principles to be followed …[Continue Reading]

सीआरपीसी की धारा 41, 41 ए, 41 बी जिन में बिना वारंट के पुलिस द्वारा गिरफ्तार की जाती है
पुलिस द्वारा गिरफ्तारी की शक्तियों के दुरुपयोग को कम करने के लिए 2010 में CrPC (आपराधिक प्रक्रिया संहिता) में संशोधन करके इन धाराओं को संशोधित किया गया था, खासकर IPC 498A जैसे मामलों में, जो संज्ञेय अपराध होने के कारण गिरफ्तारी के लिए वारंट की जरूरत नहीं थी। वास्तविकता में बहुत कुछ नहीं हुआ है, क्योंकि भारत में आपको दंड देने आवश्यकता है यदि आप एक नियम का पालन करवाना चाहते हैं। सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा IPC 498a (और 7 साल तक के अन्य अपराध) के तहत स्वचालित गिरफ्तारी पर अंकुश लगाने के लिए नवीनतम निर्णय के साथ इस तरह के …[Continue Reading]

I have seen one such case where FIR under IPC Section 323 was registered on in-laws party due to a bleeding head injury …[Continue Reading]
