Today, On 7th April, BJP MP Jyotirmoy Singh Mahato has written a letter to the Chief Justice of India, raising concerns over attacks on the judiciary by the West Bengal Government. He praised the Supreme Court’s decision in the SSC scam case and called it a big relief for lakhs of students. Mahato strongly criticised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for disrespecting the judiciary in public. He said, “Smt. Mamata Banerjee’s pattern of undermining judicial authority is now unmistakable.”
The Supreme Court has ordered a man to pay Rs 3 lakh as compensation to his wife after their marriage ended in just three days due to his unfulfilled dowry demand of 100 gold sovereigns. The Court upheld his conviction under Section 498A IPC and the Dowry Prohibition Act, modifying his sentence to time already served. Citing 19 years of legal battle and the fact that both had moved on, the Court ruled that failure to pay the amount would lead to dismissal of his appeal and enforcement of the remaining sentence.
