Here is the earlier news when Supreme Court thought it fit to issue notices to Union Law and Justice Ministry in Smriti Shinde’s divorce case. People are not fools to notice that when men have approached Supreme Court for divorce, they have been given sermons like “obey your wife” by Justice Katju, and recently by another SC judge that “a man should not expect freedom in marriage”. But when a minister’s daughter wants divorce, all stops must be pulled in name of constitution and what else! The latest news is that the cabinet has approved introduction of an amendment which will allow people like Smriti Shinde to get divorce. Voila! The funny thing is that everyone including media is calling it as divorce on grounds of irretrievable break down of marriage, when in reality it is nothing … [Read more...] about Irretrievable break down – OR how to get Smriti Shinde her divorce

Delhi HC orders initiates proceedings under CrPC 195 against police officers
This could happen more often! It really only requires an order by judges to do it, and those judges who don’t give such orders are responsible for the devil may care attitude of police. http://www.ptinews.com/news/742065_HC-orders-criminal-proceedings-against-police-officials New Delhi, Jun 25 (PTI) Pulling up the city police chief for not taking action against his erring officers, the Delhi High Court has issued direction for initiating criminal proceedings against three police personnel for falsely implicating a man in a criminal case.

Dowry givers to be prosecuted – Delhi sessions court
For people used to the lawlessness where you bribe your way out of everything from jumping a red light, to getting a driver’s license; this will come as a shock! However, it is nothing but application of the grand-old law called Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961, which is followed in breach mostly. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/77747/dowry-givers-should-prosecuted-court.html New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI) Observing that the anti-dowry law has been reduced to a ''paper tiger'' due to the bride's family giving away dowry in many cases, a court here said they also need to be prosecuted like the groom's family to eliminate the social evil. "Dowry is a two way traffic and unless there is a giver there can be no taker and it is for this reason that in order to eliminate this evil both the … [Read more...] about Dowry givers to be prosecuted – Delhi sessions court
Delhi HC’s ‘super-judge’ S N Dhingra tells men their place in marriage!
Ha… know your duties man! tells the Delhi HC. Only problem is that here the man is forced to go to jail if unable to buy separate house for wife, but not clear if there was any obligation put on wife or not! She will get a separate house to live separately from in-laws, but what does husband get in return? Any peace of mind? Not possible. How can that be written in a mediation (read: legal, ‘civilized’, state sponsored husbands’ extortion) based agreement? Wives do not have any obligation under Indian legal system.. they have only privileges. Men have no privileges, they have only obligations. Now judges are enforcing the obligations on men with all the brutal state power at their disposal. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/buy-house-for-wife-or-go-to-jail-hc-tells-man/638470/ … [Read more...] about Delhi HC’s ‘super-judge’ S N Dhingra tells men their place in marriage!
