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. ..

(1/3) Do you wait in court for a listed matter that doesn't get heard? Do you get just a day’s notice before your hearing is scheduled?

To tackle these issues, we’ve launched The Listing Project - dakshindia.org/listing-projec…
#listing #causelist #courts #cases #access #listingproject
(2/3) With opaque and inconsistent processes, listing in Indian courts affects access to justice and equality. The Listing Project brings stakeholders together to co-create solutions for better transparency and accessibility. #AccessToJustice #Transparency #ListingProcess
We would love for you to be a part of this Project. We invite you to join us, collaborate and share your stories with us - docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

#Hijab #HijabBan in educational institutions, the #Courts and #G20 What's the link?
A short thread.
@LiveLawIndia reported that the Supreme Court will look at the Hijab Ban case soon
When the Judges look at it again, I would submit that they should consider it solely on the basis of individual rights based on personal choice in the matter of dress and attire where the choice poses neither threat noor risk of harm to any third person.

To bring religion into the question before the Court would be to conflate the matter beyond logic. It is not the Court's role in a secular democracy to decide matters of religion or religious practice - questions that are best left in the private domain for individuals to decide.

'Big Eyes' (2014) was on the TV the other day. It doesn't mention abuse or #CoerciveControl and most disturbingly (or well-fittingly) it is a Weinstein production but it is actually an excellent watch to follow the dynamics of coercive and controlling behaviour and its impact./1
The story begins with Margaret just having left her husband and the father of her daughter. He is described as controlling. We get a feeling of her escaping an abusive home. He attempts to remove her from M's care by claiming that she is 'mental unwell'./2
M attempts to rebuild their life. She gets a job in a new city and channels a lot of her love, energy and time into her paintings. She meets Walter while selling paintings on the street. She is in a vulnerable place and needs stable people that she can trust and lean on. /3

While adding index to Chapter 11 #Vedic #Courts in Tamil Nadu, the Land of Vedas (#TTLV) authored by my father Dr. #Nagaswamy, I came across this fantastic reference that Appa quotes "Ancient Hindu Judicature" authored by G.R. Rao in the year 1920.

Appa writes "Yājñavalkya was an extraordinary personality whose code is admired even by modern exponents of Law. "

Why you should assign Project Bono’s Nicotine Awareness & Prevention class to students who receive in-school suspension for vaping:

•A THREAD•

#YouthVaping #VapingPrevention #NicotineAwareness #Courts
(1/4)

First, our courses can help students to better understand the risks of vaping and the potential health consequences. By providing accurate and reliable information, our courses can help students to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
(2/4)

Second, our courses can provide valuable insights to help students who are struggling with nicotine addiction. They can use their time in suspension learning about the consequences of their actions and habits rather that getting a few days off from school.

Man dies of ‘joy’ after Supreme Court rules in his favor!!

18 سال بعد زمین پر قبضہ کے کیس کا فیصلہ حق میں آنے کی خوشی میں دل بند ہو گیا اور زُندگی ختم ہو گئی۔
اِدھر کیس ختم اُدھر خود ختم ۔

ہماری عدلیہ 130 نمبر پر ہے دُنیا میں انصاف دینے میں۔

ایسے ہزاروں کیسز چل رہے
عدالتوں میں جو تاریخ پر تاریخ
اور عدالتیں سب چھوڑ کر سیاستدانوں کو آئین کی تشریح پڑھانے میں مصروف ۔

یہاں آپ بکری کو بکری ثابت نہیں کر سکتے ۔
اور عمر خضر ہونی چاہیے کیس لڑنے کے لیے۔

850 سال پہلے کہے گئے اشعار حضرت نعمت اللّہ شاہ !

''حال '' کے ایسے تین اشعار بیان کرتے ہیں جو
غالبا موجودہ دور سے متعلق معلوم ہوتے ہیں اور جن میں لفظ ''قاضی'' (جج)، ''جنگ قاضی''، ''شکاری'' ، ''سگ'' (کُتا) ، ''رشوت اور مسند جہالت'' کے پر معنی الفاظ بے دریغ استعمال ہوئے ہیں۔

''جنگ قاضی'' یعنی قاضی یا ''جج کی لڑائی'' کے الفاظ بلاشبہ موجودہ عدلیہ کے بحران ہی کو ظاہر کر

Thread : What to keep in mind while arguing criminal cases involving finnancial frauds.

1) In cases involving murders etc, human emotions are involved. Various kinds of human circumstances evoke emotions that lead to the crime of murder. All these human factors are relevant.
2/ So even if it may look that the crime is such that death penalty should be given, when a lawyer minutely works on a series of emotional issues that lead upto the very minute of the crime, the judge may decide not to give death penalty.
3/ But cases involving financial frauds are different. Here the have usually zero sympathy towards accused.

These criminal cases of finnancial frauds are quite different. Sometimes amounts are huge and sometimes the amounts are very small..

Alas! Alas ! Alas ! If someone had told me this when I was young. I wish someone had told me then that “The Road of Goals is filled with pebbles of gold.”

All I needed to do was to lift pebbles and to finish goals mentioned under the pebbles.

#motivation
2/ To understand a cryptic section, we #lawyers and #judges, read a sentence twice, thrice or till we understand meaning of each word.

If you will read earlier tweet in this thread again, you may find that the pebbles on the road to goals are very heavy.
#motivation
3/ As I came out from the college, I saw that my friends were focusing on picking up pebbles of gold on the road of goals. I however kept gazing at stars, kept reading books and became an idealist. I did not gave much importance to pebbles.

Thread on "Citing Reportable and Unreportable Decisions of Superior Courts after explosion of Internet Law Reporting Software which give a unique citation reference to each judgement."

1) There was a time when lawyers used to cite SCR a govt publication in arguments.

#lawyers
2/ Then came a period when lawyers begin to cite SCC (And AIR) a private publication in arguments in courts.

Then many other publications came, like Judgement Today, SCALE, and several other weekly and daily reports came and they used to be cited..

Then internet came.
#lawyers
3/ After internet came, many software's like Manupatra etc came.

Lawyers begin to take print outs and the print outs were cited as judgements.

Many times, these print outs used to print name of lawyer who is licensed to use this law software.

Kerala film director Ali Akbar reveals he was victim of sexual abuse at madrasa. After 40 years he opened his mouth to narrate the horrible abuse he had to suffer at the Madrassa after he confided in one Kerala journalist Rajeena. Both being threatened now.
All this he revealed about five years back and when asked about speaking now, he said because of the fear from his religion, he could not muster courage to speak earlier. He also revealed that many of his friends spoke to him to have suffered similar abuses in Madrasas.
Ali Akbar had spoken all this in a
conversation on @CNNnews18 with Shreya Dondiyal. Here is the story - "Kerala film director Ali Akbar reveals he was victim of sexual abuse at Madrasa, when he was 8 years old in class 4 only.": news18.com/videos/india/k…

So from the thread @Qnie_Addis I have had some discussions with colleagues and made some inquires on the @CNN and @nimaelbagir's #Fake news against #Ethiopia on their 'news report'. 1/14
Please read this thread @Qnie_Addis @EthThinker @MimiH87987850 @PLPSD @dejene_2011. 🙏
First, the best way, I think, is to assert based on the US laws. That means, they can be responsible for violating the laws of the US especially concerning fake news. But, due to the First Amendment that provides wider protection to freedom of speech this task is no easy. 2/14
The reason is simple, the US does not have laws against fake news. Of course there is fake news. But the US law favors freedom of speech more. They have their own philosophy. Yet, that does not mean freedom of speech is absolute. 3/14

*sigh*

Opening what I suspect will become a very long [Thread] on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (#PCSCBill) which, having been introduced last Tuesday, gets its #SecondReading *next* Tuesday - #precipitous, to say the least...

bills.parliament.uk/bills/2839
While it is all too often merely lip service, the Ministerial statement of #HumanRights compliance on the cover of this Bill 👇 is particularly #hypocritical, given its actual contents...
Many have been writing about the impact of this proposed legislation on lawful #protest, notably @IanDunt...

politics.co.uk/comment/2021/0…

...who, critically, picks up on the extraordinary #HenryVIII power @pritipatel is trying to grab.

(Let's hope THAT one gets struck quickly!)

Από την Δευτέρα 30η Νοεμβρίου 2020 μέχρι και τώρα που γράφονται αυτές οι γραμμές, το σύνολο των Διοικητικών Δικαστηρίων της χώρας, καθώς και το Συμβούλιο της Επικρατείας έχουν απενεργοποιημένους διαδικτυακούς τόπους παρακολούθησης πορείας υποθέσεων. #ejustice #courts #lawyerslife
Αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι ενδιαφερόμενοι δεν έχουν πρόσβαση στα δεδομένα που τους αφορούν, δηλαδή δεν μπορούν να ενημερωθούν για τις δικαστικές αποφάσεις που ήδη έχουν εκδοθεί και να τις διαβάσουν ή έστω να ενημερωθούν για την πορεία των υποθέσεών τους.
Υποθέτω (δεν το έχω δοκιμάσει) ότι δεν υπάρχει και η δυνατότητα κατάθεσης δικογράφου νέας υπόθεσης αυτές τις 3 ημέρες.

We need to talk about just how corrupt we've allowed #democracy in #America to become, to the point it isn't democracy in many respects. And we need to stop #partisan squabbling and get to fixing it before we end up a one-party state, like #China. Thread👇

In 2019, writing the decision for Common Cause v. Rucho, Chief Justice Roberts closed off the federal courts as an avenue for addressing partisan #gerrymandering, instead telling citizens to propose state constitutional amendments.
In many states, with statehouses #gerrymandered beyond reach of the people, or otherwise beholden to special interests, these citizen-amendments are the only avenue left for addressing #democracy reform and other policy concerns.

#Indian #Courts and #Judges, especially in the #SupremeCourt are honest upright and independent. They do NOT deliver judgements that the #Government tells them to. They are fiercely independent and uphold the(ir) right to free speech at great cost to themselves.
They spend sleepless night and work long hours to produce detailed judgements that explain their difficult reasoning in flowery language that ordinary people find impenetrable.
They do Not seek post-retirement jobs from the Government and so their judgements in favour of against citizens are explained by the foolishness of ordinary Indian citizens who persist in breaking the law by saying mean and nasty things about judges

1] Around the 20th of May, the 2014 #NationalCouncil of the MDC-T petitioned the holding of a #NationalCouncil meeting to discuss the infamous #CovidRuling and the way forward.

Predictably, #Mwonzora rubbished the calls for the meeting & even demanded that it be suspended.
2] Regardless of #Mwonzora's whistle in the wind, the #NC meeting went ahead.

It subsequently made resolutions, key amongst them, cautioning DM to stop speaking on their behalf & acting unilaterally.

A petition was signed to have DM call for a #NC meeting on the 6th of June.
3] One would observe that, since the #CovidJudgement, the 2014 #MDC-T #NC has not met.

Mwonzora has been pushing this narrative that #Khupe,#Komichi & himself can organize the EOC on their own.

Predictably, Mwonzora rubbished the NC meeting calling it illegal & inconsequential.

OK Judicial Studies tweeps!

A couple of us are organising a virtual morning tea next Tuesday 10am (AEST), as a bit of a chance to catch-up, fight the iso-blues and talk all things courts.

If you are keen, please drop me a DM.

#pandemicademia #courts #judges #judicialtheory
Others, please get in touch - it has been in my head for a while to start building a judicial studies network in Oz (and beyond), so this might prompt me to start keeping some records....
