Delhi police stations (and CAW?) to be covered by CCTV as per Supreme Court order

July 27, 2015 by videv

Yesterday I had covered recent news about Supreme Court ordering all locks-ups in police stations (and prisons) to mandatorily have CCTVs installed. While searching for that news, I found that SC has already issued orders in April, 2015 that all Delhi police stations should be covered by CCTVs.  And this order is not only for lock-ups inside police station, but basically seems to cover whole of PS, which should definitely cover the lobby/reception and other important areas where complainants and others meet the police officials. There are two news on the matter, and the earlier one is from Apr 23, which seems reliable enough. To keep eye on cops, SC wants CCTV cameras at police stations – Indian Express, Apr 23, 2015 Delhi government gets its way on CCTV in police stations – Times of … [Read more...] about Delhi police stations (and CAW?) to be covered by CCTV as per Supreme Court order

Mumbai HC asks divorced father to pay alimony even if by going to jail

June 29, 2015 by videv

A recent judgment by Mumbai HC should be a cautionary tale to those who take the issue of maintenance lightly, and believe that they can get an upper hand by simply not paying and then will see what happens. Note: this case is about permanent alimony to wife (not interim under DV Act, CrPC 125, or pendente lite under section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act).  But the lessons may be applicable to other maintenance related litigations too. Lack of job no grounds to avoid paying alimony: Bombay HC A man, though jobless, must pay maintenance to his wife as ordered by courts in cases of divorce, the Bombay high court (HC) has ruled. A bench of justices Ranjit More and Anuja Prabhudessai, in a recent order, held that a man cannot plead penury in order to evade his liability to pay alimony. HC … [Read more...] about Mumbai HC asks divorced father to pay alimony even if by going to jail

Delhi Mahila court denies maintenance to doctor wife from doctor husband

March 21, 2015 by videv

Found this news full judgment of Nov 2014 about a maintenance judgment in a Mahila court in Delhi where maintenance was denied to a woman doctor earning 21,200 p.m.  I was aware of something called Mahila thana (women’s police station) which are supposed to make women feel comfortable to file complaint in front of women policepersons.  But don’t know what exactly is this phenomenon called Mahila court and the logic behind it, since delivery of justice and courts are something where everyone irrespective of gender, caste, religion will be received equally without prejudice!  So what is the logic behind Mahila court?  Will women get better justice, or real justice, or gender-sensitive justice there?  What exactly will they get in Mahila court which they can’t get in ‘ordinary’ court?  Anyway … [Read more...] about Delhi Mahila court denies maintenance to doctor wife from doctor husband

Live-in relation doesn’t give immunity from rape charge: says Delhi HC

March 11, 2015 by videv

In another reminder to Indian men to forget about how law can protect them against a woman’s complaint, the Delhi High court has said that live-in relationship cannot be kept out of purview of rape. Can't keep live-in relations outside purview of rape: Delhi HC "As far as the relief sought, of keeping the live-in relationships outside the purview of Section 376 (rape) of the IPC is concerned, the same would amount to giving the live-in relationships, the status of matrimony and which the legislature has chosen not to do," a bench of chief justice G Rohini and justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said. The person who filed PIL has raised many good points, and in fact the need for compensating the falsely rape accused has already been mentioned by Justice Virendar Bhat in one of his judgments. The … [Read more...] about Live-in relation doesn’t give immunity from rape charge: says Delhi HC
