Late Cong minister’s widow helps daughter-in-law bag Rs 4-cr in alimony

Bengaluru, Aug 9: Recently in Bangalore, a city civic court directed Devanand Shivashankarappa Kashappanavar, the son of late former Karnataka minister S R Kashappanavar, to pay Rs 4.84 crore as permanent alimony to his wife within 60 days, according to a report in media. The court granted a divorce as Devanand had an extra-marital affair and had married another woman against the law.

The petitioner, Devanand’s wife, was also his niece (sister’s daughter).

What makes the case more interesting is the rare instance of solidarity wherein the mother deposed against the son in the court and helped the daughter-in-law get alimony. Devanand’s mother testified against him saying that he was rich enough to pay a handsome alimony.

K.Bhagya, Additional Principal Judge, pronounced the order after granting decree of divorce to the petitioner. She had filed a petition in 2015, seeking to dissolve their four-year long marriage and the couple had been living in separation since 12 February 2012. The petitioner and Devanand had tied the knot in May 2011 at Hungund taluk of Bagalkot district. The judge said that Devanand should pay the alimony amount to the petitioner within 60 days from this order dated 24 July 2017.

The judge pronounced the verdict after allowing a petition filed by Devanand’s wife under Section 13 (1) (ia) (ib) (cruelty and desertion) of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking decree of dissolution of her marriage.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.

Rizwan had lodged the defamation suit against Kateel and state BJP social media chief after the party, in a tweet during the 2019 Lok Sabha election, alleged Rizwan’s involvement in the manufacture of fake voter identity cards.

Apart from Kateel, head of the party’s social media unit has also been asked to appear in person at the above court on February 24.
