The Allahabad High Court has said that having sex before marriage with a major may not be an offence but is unethical, immoral given Indian customs and tradition. A single-judge bench of Justice Rahul Chaturvedi said this while rejecting the bail application of a man who has been arrested under POCSO Act provisions for having sex with a minor and standing a mute spectator to the minor being gang-raped by three others. Justice Chaturvedi said, “The conduct of the applicant is highly deplorable and unbecoming of a boyfriend who could not save his girlfriend from these offenders. I’m not inclined to exercise my discretionary power under Section 439 CrPc in favour of the applicant, therefore the prayer for bail of the applicant is rejected.” In his observations while rejecting the bail application, the judge said: “I am afraid to accept the contentions raised by learned counsel for the applicant on many scores: 1. The moment the applicant submits that the victim is his beloved, It ...

By Sujit Bhar The age is of sportspersons, celebrities and politics. The two categories meld in a pot, creating a strange amalgam of neither. Following in the footsteps of cricket – Navjot Singh Sidhu can’t be anybody’s pole star, though – two more past athletes have just joined a political party, this time the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Both were welcomed with open arms into the party by party supremo Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, and this happened in Goa. The two are Leander Paes and Nafisa Ali. For Nafisa, actor, former beauty queen and also former national champion swimmer, it will be her second foray into politics, the first being with the Congress, with whom she had even fought – pretty sadly, one must say – Mamata. Lately, she has been seen chilling in Goa with Lucky Ali and the bling band, as well as with poll strategist Prashant Kishor. Not sure which part brought her back into the political fold. For Leander, the itinerant former tennis star with a Kolkata...

A Patiala House Court has sentenced two Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) members to 12 years imprisonment and 10-year terms to other members convicted for terror funding and waging war against the Government of India. A single-judge bench of Additional Sessions Judge Parveen Singh observed, “The convicts who have primarily been convicted for terror financing have provided funds for the activities of HM and said funds have been used for the destruction of property and taking human lives. Thus, merely because, in the present case, the convicts were not directly responsible for loss of life and property, it cannot be accepted that they were not responsible for loss of life and destruction of property because of the terrorist activities of HM.” The Court observed, “On the contrary, I find that the funding network run by these convicts on the instructions of their handlers sitting in Pakistan had a greater responsibility for the terror acts committed by HM as in absence of such funding, which finan...

By Mathews J Nedumpara The perception of the common man on powers of the courts of the country in getting justice delivered seems a bit removed from ground realities. The common man is often reassured by news reports where the High Courts, under Article 226 (power of High Courts to issue certain writs) and even the Supreme Court under Article 32 (remedies for enforcement of rights conferred by this part) have come to the rescue of the commoner who has been denied justice by the government and its allied organisations. As they read news reports of people apparently being granted instant and hassle free justice, they, too, want to have writ petitions instituted when they face similar injustice. There is a stellar example of the Kerala High Court, where relief under the writ jurisdiction is granted without being confronted by questions as to the maintainability of the petition for the petitioner not having exhausted the “alternative remedies”. Elsewhere, though, the reality differs from...
