Insulting Hindu god': SC quashes case against Dhoni

September 5, 2016

New Delhi, Sep 5: The Supreme Court today quashed criminal proceedings against cricketer M S Dhoni for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by portraying himself as God on a magazine cover. dhoni-cover

A bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi granted the relief to Dhoni after noting that the trial court in Karnataka erred in summoning the cricketer without following the due procedure of law.

"We interfere with the order of the High Court and quash the proceedings including the summoning order against the accused... we have taken note of the complaint and the offence alleged while passing this order" the bench said.

On September 14, last year, the apex court had stayed the criminal proceedings against Dhoni on a complaint lodged for allegedly portraying himself as Lord Vishnu on a magazine cover page.

The court had also stayed the operation of the order of Karnataka High Court which had refused to stall the criminal proceedings against him.

Dhoni had filed the Special Leave Petition challenging the Karnataka HC order. The complaint, filed by social activist Jayakumar Hiremath, had alleged that Dhoni was seen on the cover of a business magazine as Lord Vishnu, holding several things, including a shoe in his hands.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) had directed registration of a case against Dhoni under section 295 (injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class) along with 34 (common intention) of the IPC.

Later, the ACMM had issued summons to Dhoni to appear before the court, against which he moved the High Court.

Point to be noted.. For long time people are in Darkness of this false story.. and many hindus are reading it and understanding the deception on this. and they even question.
if God cannot recognise his own son , then how can we accept him as God.
If God cannot fix with human head then how come we accept him as God.
If God cannot act aggressively with his own son, how can we accept him as God
Question to PONDER and know NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI (There is no image of God) When VEDAS says it then people are mocking at God with such idiotic ideology which doesnt make sense... Please stay away from such ideology and Ponder on who is our CREATOR ... God will Guide those who are honest in their search.

May God help those who are HONEST to find the truth.

Please he his not god he is same like human being same like us.
we need to worship only one god. thats none other than allah. he is the creator all of us and entire world. you guys are worshiping stone. you know stone is created by god. we dont know how god looks. and yu guys celebrating ganesh chathurthi. i read about ganesh story parvathi the wife of shiva was getting ready for her bath and she needed someone to gaurd her. the young boy stand near entrance of the bathroom, while she was bathing shiva returned and was surprised to find little boy standing at the entrance. when shiva tried to enter. the little boy blocked his path. shiva asked who are you why are you blocking my path...? little boy answered no one enters bathroom my mother is taking her bath declared the boy boldly. shiva replied i have right to enter she is my wife . but young boy did not move but stood his ground. shiva not knowing that this was his own son , shiva who was quick anger grew enraged. little boy disobeyed shiva , he cut off the boy head. parvathi returning from her bath saw her son lying dead and overcome with grief. she was filled with both anger and sorrow.
shiva sent his soldiers to fetch the head of the first best they saw. the men rushed and finally come upon with elephant head. then shiva attached it onto the body of the little boy and gave him life once again . i have doubt in this story. y shiva dont know about his son.. is he born to shiva. why they fixed elephant head. why cant fix same human head. god god fighting. ha ha ha ha ha this is crazy. fully confused religion.

Its just an idol. Where is god. God is a creator not a creation.

The one who made the idol. He is more superior than the idol.

Quran says. Only the religion is acceptable is islam. No other religious book says so.

Muslims just deliver the message. They don't benefit anything. At the of end. They will be the loser.Only quran says earth is round. And finger print does not match with another finger.

Even zamzam water. Millions of people drink. It never felt short. Saudi is known for shortage of water. But zamzam water never dropped an inch.

Keep ur ego aside. Come to the true religion.

There is no Hindu God or Muslim God or Christian God or God for any other community...

God is ONE, Who created U ME and all that exists...
From Prophet ADAM to Ibrahim, to Moses to Jesus to Muhammad peace be upon them all are all the prophets of God who conveyed the one message to WORSHIP him alone and dont associate partners with him...

Search for TRUTH, If you are HONEST, U will find the TRUTH ... God's Guidance will reach YOU if U are HONEST and TRUTHFUL in searching for HIM...

Follow VEDAS (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI) rather than cheddis script...
(Temple & idols are made to oppose vedas)
U will be successful....

He reached his highest level, he does not need God, even if he teases God people accept it....God was there for him when he was zero....

Madras HC proposes ban on NRIs from buying houses in India

News Network

February 5,2020

Chennai, Feb 5: In order to ensure housing for all, the Madras High Court has proposed ban on non-resident Indians from purchasing houses in India, prohibit speculative sale, and impose 100 per cent extra stamp duty on purchase of second house.

The court on its own impleaded the Union housing and finance ministries as party respondents.

It has directed them to answer a series of questions including as to how many families have basic amenity of housing in India as well as in Tamil Nadu, population and housing ratio in the country and in the state, when 'Housing for All' mission of the central government would be achieved.

"Why the government does not consider imposing such restrictions to control escalation of house prices and to provide a house to every family in the country, a division bench of Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice Abdul Quddhose wondered.

Directing the authorities to inform as to whether the central and state have got special schemes to provide housing for the marginalized and economically weaker sections including SC/ST communities, the bench has also sought the details of the number of families that possess more than one house.

"Why the governments do not restrict families/individuals from purchasing/possessing more than one housing unit/flat/plot till "Housing for all" is achieved?

Why not the government charge 100 per cent more or extra stamp duty to discourage buying more than one house by a family while purchasing second house?

Why not the government conditionally allow the families to purchase more than one house provided the said family pays 100 per cent extra statutory dues like property tax, electricity charges, water and sewerage charges on the second property?" the bench said.

This apart, the court also wanted the authorities to know as to why it should not prohibit the NRIs from purchasing houses in India to bring down the cost of housing.

Justifying its directions, the court said "Lakhs and lakhs of people are living on platforms, roads, and cement pipes, slums, under the trees and on banks of water bodies without proper shelter and basic amenities and safety."

It is true that the Centre had taken a policy decision to provide housing unit to every family.

It should be achieved at the earliest, the court said, adding it could become fruitful when restrictions are put on persons who hold more than one housing units.

The court passed the order while hearing an appeal moved by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board challenging a single judge order against acquisition of about 369 acres of private land in Thudiyalur and Vellakinar areas of Coimbatore for a housing scheme.
