Funny how they must be eating their own words as of today...I wish that Justice ML Pendse is alive. The joker feminist organisations. Here is what is written in the newsletter :-
The prejudiced statements against women by a senior judge of the Bombay High Court, Mr.Justice M.L.Pendse at the valedictory function of a seminar on Criminology organized by the Department of law, Bombay University and the Greater Bombay Legal Advice Committee in the last week of March have disturbed many women in Bombay.

Check out this stupid story below; a mockery of the law and abuse of Indian courts: funny how the allegations pour out. I guess these kind of cases are the need of the day for entertainment of Police, Advocates and Judges. It is funny only if you are not party to the case and have an idea of this crap law. See how vague the complaint is. What is wrong if a husband asks his wife to pay for household expenses and even if he has loans ? Doctors from the USA - do they need money for household expenses ?
Common trend is file IPC 498A (criminal jurisdiction) in India so that case drags on for >10 years and then file Divorce (civil jurisdiction) in USA or foreign country, so that she can get divorce in 6 months. Choosing your jurisdiction according to the womans convenience. These are the kinds of women who need to be put behind bars permanently.
A US-based Indian doctor has filed a criminal case against her husband, also a doctor in the US, for allegedly harassing her to sign divorce papers against her wishes or else pay $2.5 million. The complaint was filed at the Palam Vihar police station on Tuesday. Dr Shikha Sharma, a gynaecologist, was working with Dr Srikant Das, a paediatrician, at AIIMS.
The couple got married at Bhubaneswar (Orissa) in 2006. They later moved to the US for professional growth.
“Sharma’s family spent lakhs of rupees on the wedding. The Das family has been making dowry demands,” alleged Satpal Yadav, Sharma’s counsel.
“Das often demanded money from his wife. He used to ask her to payback his loans. He also took blank cheques signed by her stating he had to pay household expenses, but instead sent the money to his family in Orissa,” alleged Yadav.
A copy of the complaint has been sent to the US Embassy by the counsel. A reply is awaited, said the counsel.
Sharma, in an e-mail message, said, “He is harassing me for dowry and threatening that I either give him the amount or sign the divorce papers. I also want to save my marriage. He often throws household objects at me.”
Meanwhile, Dr Das could not be contacted for comments.
