Many a time there is doubt raised by people about value of having an audio recording which goes on the lines of: “My lawyer says that audio recording….<add here something to effect of not good, not useful, not admissible etc etc.>” That audio recordings are not admissible or good evidence are just lazy excuses or convenient myths which are spread to steer husbands towards the C-word (read other posts on this site to know the meaning of C-word). And what’s surprising is this: sometimes the same people would be fearful that wife or in-laws may have recorded something of their …[Continue Reading]
Is there any law which supports men?
Recently someone sent email via our NGO website and upon my reply to his email giving some basic advice and further suggestion to join our groups, he replied back asking with a profound question, which triggered the need for writing this article. His full email had only one sentence: “ok thank u but is there no law which supports men can police help”. As an aside, I am unable to understand why do some people (though it has come down a lot) reply to my email asking a further question ignoring the standard large sized red coloured matter at the …[Continue Reading]
How to handle false cases from wife who has a boyfriend
In case you face threats or actual legal cases like DV, CrPC 125, 498A, 406 from your wife who also has a boyfriend, the situation can be turned to an advantage, of course only if one is able to get over the shock of the whole fraud which has been perpetrated, and assess things from thereon. The context of this post refers to those marriages where the wife starts to show erratic behaviour etc right in beginning of married life (read Advice to men post for details). Many such women come from feminist/matriarchal families, and if not outright feminist family, …[Continue Reading]
Rohtak sisters ‘molestation’ case: first media circus, and now investigation circus
According to latest news, a local Haryana court has allowed polygraph (lie-detector) test on both 3 boys accused of molestation and the accusers — Rohtak sister duo. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-local-haryana-court-allows-polygraph-test-on-rohtak-sisters-2044217 Consent had been sought from the victims to conduct lie-detector test on them, to which they agreed, the victims’ lawyer told reporters. He said SIT’s investigating officer Manjeet Singh had sought the consent from the victims.

Jaipur court allows prosecution for false document
It is commonly seen that Indian courts do not ‘encourage’ filing of cases of perjury (lying under oath), false allegation, false evidence etc, even though there are provisions in Indian Penal Code IPC and criminal procedure code CrPC for all these. Recent news shows that a Jaipur court has allowed prosecution for giving a forged and false document as evidence. It is a good start. http://www.rajasthanpatrika.com/city-news/jaipur/06022010/jaipur–news/78030.html जयपुर। मुख्य न्यायिक मजिस्ट्रेट जयपुर शहर ने किरायेदारी के फर्जी दस्तावेज तैयार करने के मामले में पिता-पुत्री समेत तीन लोगों के खिलाफ प्राथमिकी दर्ज करने का आदेश दिया है। अदालत ने परिवाद को विधायकपुरी …[Continue Reading]
