PIL in Allahabad HC seeks SIT probe into Robert Vadras 'hate' speech over Pahalgam attack
LUCKNOW: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Allahabad High Court seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into alleged remarks made by Robert Vadra, husband of Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in connection with the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. The PIL, filed by senior advocate Ranjana Agnihotri on behalf of the organisation Hindu Front for Justice, claimed that Vadras remarks were provocative, created an atmosphere of fear and unrest among the Hindu community, and attracted action under Sections 152, 302, and 399 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The hearing is likely to be held on Friday. According to media reports cited in the plea, Vadra had allegedly said that non-Muslims were attacked in Pahalgam as terrorists felt Muslims were being mistreated in the country. The plea further alleged that Vadras remarks were poisonous, separatist, and insensitive, and claimed that he stated the state was pushing forward Hindutva as a justification for the inhuman terror attack. The petitioner contended that Hindus were bound to take exception to such hate speech and apprehended that Vadra was working for Gajwa-e-Hind. The court has been urged to order an SIT probe into Vadras statements to identify the root cause and elements behind the remarks.

Allahabad HC dismisses suspended SHOs petition in Hathras gangrape-murder case
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court dismissed the petition filed by the suspended Station House Officer (SHO) Dinesh Kumar Verma seeking to quash criminal proceedings against him in connection with Hathras gang rape and murder case of a Dalit girl in 2020. The suspended SHO was booked over allegations of dereliction of duty. The High Court bench, comprising Justice Raj Beer Singh, condemned the SHO's conduct as it took into account both procedural violations and a glaring lack of sensitivity in handling the case of the 19-year-old Dalit girl. The accused, who was the then SHO, is currently facing the CBI chargesheet for offences under sections 166A(b)(c) and 167 of the India Penal Code. In fact, as per the chargesheet, the petitioner is accused of failing to stop the media from approaching the victim and capturing her photographs and video inside the police station, despite it being his duty to safeguard the dignity of a victim of a sexual offence. Moreover, he also refused to take the severely injured victim to the hospital, either via a police vehicle or ambulance. Instead, he is accused of compelling the family to arrange a shared auto-rickshaw for transport despite the availability of police vehicles. He is also accused of getting false entries made in the general diary, including the claims that a lady constable was sent to examine the victim's injuries. However, the constable arrived only after the victim was taken to the hospital. The CBI chargesheet also claimed that false entries were made stating that there were no injuries on the victims body without examining them. He even failed to register a case on the basis of the victim's statement. Concluding that the petitioner did not act as per the law, rules and guidelines, CBI filed a chargesheet against him, challenging which he had moved HC. At the outset, the HC bench discarded the argument against instant maintainability of the instant plea, observing that the availability of an alternate remedy of filing an appeal was not an absolute bar in entertaining a petition under Section 482 CrPC. The court said that while the video of the victim shot by the applicant on his mobile established that it was a case of molestation and he failed to protect the identity of the victim and did not stop any media person from contacting her, taking her pictures and making her video, thereby, violating the SOP of the Ministry of Home Affairs. In the second observation, the court said that false entries made in the general diary claiming that the lady constable had gone to examine the victim, which was not the case, were found to be untrue. Significantly, the court specifically referred to Section 44 of the Police Act as applicable to Uttar Pradesh, which provides that it is the duty of every officer in charge of a police station to keep general diary and to make true entries in it. Thus, noting that at this stage, it is not required to conduct a mini-trial, the court dismissed the plea.

Sharia Court, in any name & form, has no recognition in law: SC
NEW DELHI: In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court has held that a 'Court of Kazi,' 'Court of (Darul Kaja) Kajiyat,' 'Sharia Court,' etc., by whatever name or style, have no recognition in law. The Court made this ruling while allowing a Muslim woman's maintenance plea filed under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The bench of the top court delivered this judgment after hearing a plea filed by a woman, Shahjahan, who was challenging the Allahabad High Courts 2018 order. The order had dismissed her revision petition against a 2010 family court decision in Jhansi, which denied her maintenance. The family court had only allowed Rs 2,500 for her two children. A two-judge bench of the top court, led by Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, stated that any declaration made by such courts is not binding on anyone and is unenforceable by coercive measures. The only way such a declaration or decision can withstand scrutiny in the eyes of the law is when the affected parties accept such declaration/decision by acting on it or accepting it, and when such action does not conflict with any other law. Even then, such declaration/decision, at best, would only be valid inter se the parties that choose to act upon/accept it, and not a third party, the bench said. Explaining the legal position, the top court referred to various previous judgments, including Vishwa Lochan Madan versus Union of India. It cited a case where a Muslim man initially filed a plea in a 'Court of Kazi' and 'Court of (Darul Kaja) Kajiyat' seeking divorce from his wife. In the present case, the family court had allowed only Rs 2,500 for her two children. As per records, the marriage between the appellant and the respondent (husband) was solemnized on September 24, 2002, according to Islamic customs, rituals, and traditions. This was the second marriage for both parties. The top court held that maintenance could not have been denied to the appellant-wife under the prevailing circumstances. It directed the payment of Rs 4,000 per month as maintenance to her, starting from the date of filing the maintenance petition before the family court. The top court also said, A family court is not an institution to sermonize society on morality and ethics. The appellant woman had claimed that her husband had caused mental harassment and cruelty to her because she was unable to fulfill his demand for a motorcycle and Rs 50,000. On this, the family court had stated that since it was their second marriage, there was no possibility of the man demanding dowry, as he would be trying to rehabilitate his household. The top court, after reviewing the family court's observations and order, stated that such reasoning or observations were unknown to the canons of law and were based on mere conjecture and surmise.
SC Upholds Allahabad HC On Mathura Temple

No error in Allahabad HC order impleading Centre and ASI in Shahi Idgah mosque case, says SC
The Supreme Court on Monday said that the order passed by the Allahabad High Court in the Shahi Idgah case, allowing the Hindu side's plea to amend their plaint and add the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) as a party, is prima facie correct. The high court on March 5 allowed an amendment application filed by the Hindu side (plaintiffs) permitting them to incorporate new facts into the suit and add the Union of India and ASI as defendants. Challenging this HC order, the Muslim side had moved the top court and sought quashing of it. The Muslim side, in the top court, opposed the Hindu parties application to amend the suit. They said it was a way to get around their defence, which was based on the Places of Worship Act. During the course of the hearing, the two-judge bench of the top court, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and including Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, refused to entertain the appeal of the Muslim side. The Committee of Management of the Shahi Idgah mosque is absolutely wrong in their plea that the Allahabad High Court's decision to allow the Hindu plaintiffs to do so was wrong, the court said. This order of the top court necessarily means that the Hindu plaintiffs have to be allowed to implead the ASI and the Union in the main suits filed on behalf of the deity. The apex court on Monday granted time to the Muslim side to file their reply and deferred the hearing to April 8. The complex is located adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, a site of significant religious importance for Hindus. The Hindu litigants claimed the premises hold signs suggesting that a temple once existed at the site. The mosque committee, in its appeal filed in the apex court, said the lawsuits filed by Hindu litigants over the dispute violated the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, and were therefore not maintainable. It is to be noted that Allahabad High Court judge Justice Mayank Jain had on August 1, dismissed the plea filed by the Shahi Idgah Masjid Committee challenging the maintainability of the suits filed by the Hindu parties seeking restoration of the Lord Krishna temple at the location where the mosque exists. The Hindu parties claimed in the HC that Sri Krishnas birthplace lies beneath the mosque and that there were many signs which established that the mosque was indeed a Hindu temple. On the other hand, the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board sought dismissal of the plea filed by the Hindu side. It argued in the HC that the suits of the Hindu side were barred under the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 (Places of Worship Act) that prohibited changing the status of any place of worship from what it was on the day of the countrys Independence.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his irresponsible remarks on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, saying let's not mock our freedom fighters. The top court, however, stayed the criminal proceedings against Rahul Gandhi in a case lodged in Uttar Pradesh for his remarks. A bench comprising justices Dipankar Datta and Manmohan also warned Rahul Gandhi against making any such statements in the future, as the apex court may take a suo motu cognisance of such remarks. The bench asked senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the Congress leader, as to whether Rahul Gandhi knew that even Mahatama Gandhi used words like your faithful servant in his communications with the Britishers. The top court issued notices to complainant Nripendra Pandey, who filed a complaint accusing Rahul Gandhi for intentionally insulting Savarkar during a rally, and the Uttar Pradesh government, on the Congress leader's plea seeking their responses. Rahul Gandhi moved the apex court challenging an order of the Allahabad High Court, which refused to quash summons issued against him in the case. A case under various penal provisions for alleged offences like 'promoting enmity between classes' and 'public mischief' was lodged against Rahul Gandhi by Pandey, a lawyer by profession. The case stems from the Congress leader's comments on Savarkar made on November 17, 2022, during his Bharat Jodo Yatra at a rally in Maharashtra's Akola district.
Woman found dead in apartment complex
CHENNAI: A 48-year-old woman was found dead in a washroom on the ground floor of an apartment complex in T Nagar on Tuesday evening. Police said G Vijaya, a domestic help, was found partially clothed and frothing at the mouth. Postmortem findings, however, have ruled out foul play, including strangulation or sexual assault, police said. Earlier that morning, Vijaya had accompanied her daughter-in-law Kanmani, also a domestic help, to the apartment since it was Kanmanis first day at work there. After helping Kanmani finish work, they both returned home by afternoon. According to the police, Vijaya later received a call from the security personnel at the apartment about possible job availability. She returned there in the evening to inquire. When Vijaya did not return, Kanmani attempted to contact her several times when one of the security guards eventually answered and informed her that Vijaya was found unconscious in a washroom. A senior police officer stated that there were no external injuries or signs of assault, adding that the frothing could indicate an underlying medical issue. Police suspect she may have gone to bathe in the bathroom and collapsed due to a health complication. A case of suspicious death has been registered.
Defamation case for Savarkar remark: SC to hear Rahul Gandhi's plea on Friday
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear an appeal filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi challenging an order of the Allahabad High Court that had refused to quash the summons issued against him in a case related to alleged defamatory remarks about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. According to the cause list, a two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Manmohan is scheduled to hear the appeal by the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha on April 25 (Friday). During his Bharat Jodo Yatra, at a rally in Maharashtra's Akola district, on November 17, 2022, Rahul had allegedlytermed Savarkar a British servant who received a pension. Aggrieved by this comment,Advocate Nripendra Pandey, had filed a complaint against Rahul in theLucknow lower court, which issued summons to the latter. The lower court, while issuing the summons, noted in its order thatthe remarks (by Rahul Gandhi) had spread hatred and ill-will in society. Challenging this order, Rahul moved the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad HC, which rejected his plea on April 4 this year, forcing him to knock on the doors of the Supreme Court for relief. Justice Subhash Vidyarthi of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had on April 4 this year refused to entertain Rahul's plea after observing that he has the option to approach the sessions judge with a plea under Section 397 (Power to revise trial courts order) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Advocate Pandey, in his complaint, had accused Gandhi of intentionally insulting Savarkar during the rally. The complainant alleged Gandhi's remarks were part of a well-planned conspiracy to defame Savarkar.
