During the reign of #Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a famous company called #Enron planned to set up a factory in Dabol, #Maharashtra!... However, this did not happen due to the opposition of the local people. As a result, Enron was angered by the changing circumstances.
38,000 crore compensation case filed against the Indian govt in the #ICJ.
Vajpayee appointed #HarishSalve and #KulbhushanJadhav as advocates for the #GovtofIndia. But, Do you know who was the lawyer for #Eron? None other than #Chidambaram of congress.
The #Vajpayee government #won the case!...
That is, the verdict came in favor of India. Time has passed!
Later, the Vajpayee government ended and the Congress government was formed!#ManmohanSingh is the Prime Minister. Cabinet Minister #Chidambaram. #Enron #appealed the case.

How do the #Courts decide #maintenance when the income of the #parties is not clear? And cannot apply any formula to the income.

The courts consider the following #aspects.

=Thread= Image
1. CAPACITY
The presumption that every able-bodied person must earn and maintain their #wife and #children is not accounted for by courts in India.
Courts assume that the family has sufficient means to #support the #husband and provide income based on lifestyle.
2. INCOME OF PARTIES
The courts are mindful of deductions on which parties have #nocontrol, such as Contribution to Provident Fund and other direct #taxes. ..

If you said 1 in every 3 births... you are correct!! This is double what the @WHO and @UNICEF say is actually necessary to save mothers and babies. #ph260720 #csections @LamazeOnline
While C-sections can be lifesaving in some circumstances, they can be very costly and detrimental in others. @intermountain moms explain some of the detrimental side effects of these sometimes unnecessary procedures:

Book1 #ElizabethIsMissing by Emma Healey: I sincerely recommend it. You feel the helplessness of old Maud as your own, when her mind slips away and she tries to hold it together. Sometimes memories get jumbled and it's hard to follow what's happening, but so is it for Maud. Image
Book2 #Educated by @tarawestover: This is a story of a girl rising out of her circumstances. Perseverance is at the heart of every good story. Yet she repeatedly flags that she's different and is adamant not to be relatable. Culture shock should have been a very relatable topic. Image
Book3 Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner: A well-loved book that I misunderstood? About female loneliness, it feels like a 1900s Mills&Boon. Relationships begin with no preamble and end in high drama and the author refers to our heroine as Virginia Woolf one too many times. Image

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what…In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.
