Faridkot Abduction Case Victim’s parents to approach HC

Posted on Monday, 8 October 2012 by Punjabi Articles

The aggrieved parents of 15-year-old Shruti, who was abducted from her house here a fortnight ago, have decided to move the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking a CBI probe into the incident.

“With the police trying to project the case as that of elopement, we are left with no other option but to approach the High Court for a CBI probe,” said the victim’s father, Ashwani Kumar.

“Shruti was kidnapped by a gang on September 24. The police has failed to trace her whereabouts or nab the gang leader, Nishan singh, who is facing 16 criminal cases. Now, the police is suggesting that it is a case of elopement, not one of kidnapping,” said Swaran Singh, member of the local Action Committee that has been formed to get justice for the aggrieved parents.

HC directs police to protect Bathinda lesbian couple

Posted on Friday, 27 April 2012 by Punjabi Articles

Twenty-year-old Swaran Kaur, the Punjab police constable who is in a lesbian relationship with her friend Harsharan Kaur, 28, went back to work on Thursday after the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed Bathinda SSP to ensure protection to the couple from their families, who have been hounding them.

When TOI caught up with the couple at Maur police station, they said they have been living under fear for the last nine months and the HC order has given them some hope.

Visibly relaxed, the girls, who were provided security cover on Thursday following the HC directions, spent some time together inside one of the rooms of the Maur police station discussing their plans.

"We have been to hell and back. Everybody has been against us right from the day we decided to spend the rest of our days together," said Swaran, sounding and looking confident in a pink shirt and pair of black jeans.

Man can’t force wife to conceive, rules high court

Posted on Monday, 13 February 2012 by Punjabi Articles



In a first, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that a husband cannot compel his wife to conceive and give birth to his child. Making it clear that relationships that know no limits too have boundaries, the high court has asserted intimacy is one thing, giving birth to a child another.

“Mere consent to conjugal rights does not mean consent to give birth to a child for her husband,” Justice Jitendra Chauhan of the High Court has asserted.

The judgment, pregnant with significance, also makes it amply clear that “to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health” does not give a man the right to prevent his wife from going in for an abortion.

The ruling came on revision petitions filed by Chandigarh-based gynaecologist Dr Mangla Dogra and others petitioners. The controversy in the case hovered around the decision of a wife to go in for medical termination of pregnancy without her husband’s consent.

Married in April 1994, the couple and their son were initially staying in Panipat. Due to "hostilities and strained relations”, the wife started staying with her parents, along with her son, at Chandigarh.

Abolish post of Lambardar, says HC

Posted on Thursday, 1 September 2011 by Punjabi Articles



The Punjab and Haryana High Court has made it clear that it wants the “ornamental” posts of lambardar to be abolished in the states of Punjab and Haryana. Justice Alok Singh minced no words to say lambardars were involved in identifying imposters substituting for dead or real landowners; and were a burden on the state exchequer.

“It has come to the notice of this court that nowadays lambardars are involved in different criminal cases for identifying imposters for the dead or the real landowners to grab their valuable land.
