The important part of judgment are made in bold below. The funny part is that lower court judge does not give reasoned order based on merits of case, but prefers to show erudition by quoting from an author’s work.: “being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men” It is said a judge speaks from his judgements, but if one wants to score points with feminists, without going into merits of case, then it is better left for scholarly work after retirement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI Date of Reserve: 6th July, 2010 Date of Order: 29th July, 2010 + Crl.

Bangalore inspector confirms men are disposable in eyes of law
Even suicide note of a man is not enough reason for law to move its rear, is well-exemplified in the case below, where a young man committed suicide to escape from wife’s threat of false dowry case against him and his family. Will police wake up when men in their own family and relations commit suicide in similar situation? Maybe they will, but it will be too late anyway. When a man lets another man die by treating him as disposable asset, he increases his own probability of being disposed off by society one day! It’s all about collective karma… http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article/10/20100720201007200523421056440d345/Inspector-goes-soft-on-woman-despite-husband%E2%80%99s-suicide-note.html?pageno=1 Inspector goes soft on woman despite husband’s suicide note Tells victim’s … [Read more...] about Bangalore inspector confirms men are disposable in eyes of law
How police makes false rape cases
Delhi HC judge S N Dhingra does some plain speaking on how police convert incidents of young men and women ‘eloping’ together into rape cases against the men. Some social injustice in the name of social norms! http://news.oneindia.in/2010/06/17/delhi-hc-slams-police-over-honour-killing-cases.html New Delhi, Jun 17: In the wake of alarming and growing number of honour killing cases, the Delhi High Court has come down heavily upon the police for failing to protect people. Referring to a massive hunt launched by the police in Mar 2010 to find Delhi police Commissioner's dog, that went missing, the court remarked, “You can search the entire city if a dog of your boss is lost but you can’t provide protection to the people. This is what you are. What to talk about humanity when you don’t … [Read more...] about How police makes false rape cases

Delhi HC says live-in relationship invariably initiated and perpetuated by male
I could not make sense out of it. Even though Supreme Court ruled so much in a recent judgment on Khushboo’s case that live-in relationships are a reality in society, the Delhi HC judgment in a PWDVA (Domestic Violence Act) case below seems to put all burden on men of initiating and perpetuating a live-in relationship. Actually, it says an assumption can fairly be drawn. On what common sense, or any other basis was this assumption drawn is of course a mystery. What is not a mystery is that many court decisions will continue to treat women as children without a will or decision making capability of their own, when the issue at hand is granting some relief to women. … [Read more...] about Delhi HC says live-in relationship invariably initiated and perpetuated by male
