THREAD: Bishop Franco Mulakkal was recently acquitted of rape charges against him.

Here @barandbench lists out ten reasons why Kerala court acquitted him of rape charges

(1/4) #BishopFranco

Read story: bityl.co/AVaX Image
The court held that sexual harassment allegations emerged after disciplinary proceedings were initiated against prosecutrix.

(2/4) #BishopFranco
The Court said that the testimony of the complainant was inconsistent and riddled with variations and the allegations were an outcome of factional feud within the church and complainant's desire for power and position.

(3/4) #BishopFranco
Prosecutrix was swayed under the influence of others who had other vested interest in the matter

- Kerela court

Thread on Nani Palkhivala:

Since law school, I have been reading about Nani, from Keshavananda Bharti to Minority case, everything was worth enough.

Here are some my favourite pieces on Late Nani Palkhivala on his birth anniversary:

(1/6) #NaniPalkhivala
1. Nani was offered the Chief judgeship of the Apex Court in the 1960s, which he declined. If he had accepted the proposal, he would have become the longest serving CJI till date between 1971 to1985.

Here I write for @barandbench

2. On one of his answer papers during his LLB, the examiner wrote, “Frankly, this candidate knows much more than I do.” He was a meteor at the Bar and soon left his seniors way behind

Here I wrote for @YouthKiAwaaz

A thread on what happened in the Marital Rape case hearing today

Amicus Curiae, Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao asked the Delhi High Court if it is reasonable, just and fair in today’s day and age to deny the wife a right to call rape a rape.

(1/5) #MaritalRape Image
A Bench of Justices Rajiv Shakdher and C Hari Shankar has been hearing these petitions.

Interestingly, Rao during the hearing today played a video of the Thames Valley Police where making a cup of tea is compared to the concept of consent.

#MaritalRape
Rao submitted that "by denying the opportunity for a woman to prosecute a man, even her husband, for rape has the practical effect of obliterating her consent altogether.”

(3/5)
