Difficult for wife to change lifestyle in hard times: Bombay high court

May 12, 2012

Mumbai, May 12: If a wife is accustomed to a particular lifestyle, it is difficult for her to adjust in bad times, the Bombay high court said on Friday while hearing a plea for enhancement of maintenance.

A division bench of Justice P B Majmudar and Justice Anoop Mohta was hearing a petition filed by film producer Gaurang Doshi's wife Madhuri challenging the family court's June 16, 2010, order on providing a monthly maintenance of Rs 50,000 each to her and their daughter. She had sought Rs 2 lakh for herself and Rs 75,000 for the daughter, besides accommodation and a car.

Arguing that her maintenance be enhanced, Madhuri's petition pointed out that till May 2004, Doshi gave her Rs 3 lakh only for household expenses. There was a domestic dispute after that and the two had been living separately since then.

Madhuri's advocate Satish Maneshinde said Doshi often delayed payment of maintenance despite giving an undertaking to court.

Doshi, who made films such as Aankhen and Deewaar, earlier told the court that he was making another movie and waiting for the financiers to come from abroad. He also said he had huge financial liabilities.

The judges asked Doshi to give, without prejudice, an extra Rs 20,000 for his daughter to spend during the summer holiday. "You were taking them on a chartered plane, your daughter is accustomed to a good life. As a gesture of a good man, give her," said Justice Majmudar.

"As a good father, some enhancement will not hurt him," said Maneshinde, adding that Doshi led a lavish lifestyle and spent as much in a single day. He further said that for each film, Doshi earned a profit of crores. However, Doshi said, "My last film flopped badly in 2004." When the judges asked him what he was doing for eight years, he said he was embroiled in litigation. "There are good times and bad times. She must adjust. I don't deny I gave them a good life,'' said Doshi.

Justice Majmudar then said: "You are responsible. You made her accustomed to such a lifestlyle. Taking her on a chartered plane, etc. Once a wife is accustomed to a particular lifestyle, she will find it difficult to adjust in bad times."

Doshi agreed to pay the amount after two weeks, saying he had to arrange for it. "We wish you good times,'' said Justice Majmudar.

Muslim population rose in India because they got 'special rights': Yogi Adityanath

News Network

January 15,2020

Jan 15: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that the Muslim population in India increased manifold since the partition because they were given special rights and facilities, according to a report by The Indian Express.

"The Muslim population in India has increased manifold since 1947, it has gone up by seven to eight times. No one has any objection. If they, as citizens of the country, work for development, they are welcome. Their population has increased because they have been given special rights and facilities. All possible steps were taken to ensure their growth," Adityanath said while addressing a rally in Gaya organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

He asked the audience, "But what happened in Pakistan?" Claiming that the Hindu population in Pakistan had decreased since 1947, he asked why it was so.

Yogi said that the countrywide anti-CAA protests are a "conspiracy" hatched from afar by those resentful of a united and grand India and these are being aided by a "crooked" opposition. He further charged that those opposing the legislation were committing the "paap" (sin) of working against national interests.

"For taking such a step, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah deserve acclaim. Instead, they are being attacked", Yogi lamented.

Comments

He himself contradicts his statements. He claims the Muslim population rose 8-9 (according to him) times since 1947. If he was educated its simple 73 years have passed the population grows. Still, the Muslim population is only a minority against the majority. He talks about special rights and facilities given yes agreed but not by him it's by the Constitution of India and for all the minorities. So it's not you its Constitution of India. The majority of the people are against the act CAA is against the very fundamental of the Constitution of India which PM & HM are taking away from the people. If you disagree, disrespect, go against it then you are against the country itself in Hindi deshdruhi.

Test for coronavirus should be conducted free of cost, SC suggests

News Network

April 8,2020

New Delhi, Apr 8: The Supreme Court on Wednesday suggested that all tests to identify coronavirus positive patients should be conducted free of cost and asked the Central government to look into creating a mechanism for providing reimbursement for the same.

A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, while hearing a PIL via video-conferencing, suggested that the test should be conducted free of cost in the identified private laboratories and said that the court will pass appropriate order on the matter.

The apex court was hearing a PIL filed by lawyer and petitioner Shashank Deo Sudhi seeking direction to the Centre and other respective authorities to provide free of cost the testing facility for COVID-19 to all citizens in the country.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted that 118 laboratories were doing 15,000 test capacity per day and added that 47 private laboratory chains have also been involved for the same.

During the hearing, the court asked the Centre to ensure private labs don't charge a high amount for the test and suggested that the government can create an effective mechanism for reimbursement from the government for tests.

Mehta said that they will look into the suggestion and will try to devise what can be done best.

Sudhi, on the other hand, submitted that testing of coronavirus is very expensive and therefore the Central government should take all necessary steps to provide free of cost the testing facility for COVID-19 kits and others to all citizens in the country.
