Shah Bano case

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shah Bano case was a controversial divorce lawsuit in India, in which Shah Bano, a 62 year old Muslim woman and mother of five from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, was divorced by her husband in 1978 and was subsequently denied alimony. The case created considerable debate and controversy about the extent of having different civil codes for different religions, especially for Muslims in India. This case caused the Rajiv Gandhi government, with its absolute majority, to pass the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 which diluted the secular judgment of the Supreme Court and, in reality, denied even utterly destitute Muslim divorcees the right to alimony from their former husbands.

 [edit] Overview

Shah Bano, a 62 year old Muslim woman and mother of five from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, was divorced by her husband in 1978. The Muslim family law (marriage, gifts, inheritance, adoption and a few other civil laws are under the purview of personal laws in India - they are different for Christians, Muslims and Hindus) allows the husband to do this and also the wife: the husband just needs to say the word Talaq (meaning divorce) three times before two witnesses for a valid divorce.

Shah Bano, because she had no means to support herself and her children, approached the courts for securing maintenance from her husband. When the case reached the Supreme Court of India, seven years had elapsed. The Supreme Court invoked Section 125 of Code of Criminal Procedure, which applies to everyone regardless of caste, creed, or religion. It ruled that Shah Bano be given maintenance money, similar to alimony.

The orthodox Muslims in India felt threatened by what they perceived as an encroachment of the Muslim Personal Law, and protested loudly at the judgement. Their spokesmen were Muslim community leaders Obaidullah Khan Azmi and Syed Shahabuddin. They formed an organization known as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and threatened to agitate in large numbers in all major cities. The then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, bowed to their demands and cited the gesture as an example of secularism.

But now again the Honarable Supreme Court in the recent case of  SHABANA BANO Versus IMRAN KHAN  has held that even if a Muslim woman has been divorced, she would be entitled to claim maintenance from her husband under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. after the expiry of period of iddat also, as long as she does not remarry. I hope no 'Shah Bano' episode shall be repeated again....Aamen... :-)
  

The reason behind the above posting is to show, how Congress has misused not only the CBI rather Hon. SC also for narrow, mean and low grade political gains and this has resulted in or dented severely the Images of CBI and Hon. SC. in the eyes of common mass  Congress has long history of misusing judiciary.

Some Congressmen says that it is directed by the Hon. SC.

It is the failure of NDA and UF that congress is in power.

The Salient feature of the above postings are

"This case caused the Rajiv Gandhi government, with its absolute majority, to pass the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 which diluted the secular judgment of the Supreme Court and, in reality, denied even utterly destitute Muslim divorcees the right to alimony from their former husbands."

"They formed an organization known as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and threatened to agitate in large numbers in all major cities. The then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, bowed to their demands and cited the gesture as an example of secularism."

Congress is responsible for ruining this nation for narrow political gains

- not only congress, all major political parties are doing the same in their area.

This site of LCI is really a great platform.  I got sufficient material to have a clearr line of action for DRF.

To Archana Madam

“I hope no 'Shah Bano' episode shall be repeated again” This too could be repeated if the so called or pseudo secular parties will get the majority, which Rajiv Gandhi enjoyed.

Sohrabuddin case: Congress red-faced too

Jaipur: Union Minister CP Joshi has courted controversy after he was felicitated by the marble lobby in Rajasthan which, a key Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) witness had alleged, paid Rs 10 crore to get Sohrabuddin Sheikh killed.

Video footage available with CNN-IBN shows the minister sharing dais with RK Patni, the owner of RK marbles - the man who allegedly paid money to former Rajasthan home minister Gulab Chand Kataria to get Sohrabuddin Sheikh eliminated. Sohrabuddin was killed in an alleged fake encounter by Gujarat Police in 2005.

Joshi, who heads the Ministry of Rural Development in the United Progressive Alliance government at the centre, not only shared the dais with Patni, but also praised him during a ceremony organised by Rajasthan's marble lobby to celebrate Joshi's 60th birthday.

On Saturday, CNN-IBN had aired the footage of Azam Khan, who shared a jail cell with Tulsi Prajapati, who allegedly witnessed Sohrabuddin's killing and was later killed in an encounter.

Speaking to CNN-IBN, Khan claimed that BJP leader and former Rajasthan home minister Gulab Chand Kataria was paid Rs 10 crore by RK Marbles to eliminate Sohrabuddin, who was extorting money from the marble traders.

"Tulsi came and told me that RK Marbles had given the money. The money came from Gulab Chand Kataria. Some money was distributed among themselves, rest was taken by Kataria. They said RK Marbles gave Rs 10 crore," Khan told CNN-IBN.

The CBI in its chargesheet last week had said that Sohrabuddin extorted money from marble traders in Udaipur. It is alleged that the marble traders of Udaipur had met Rajasthan police officers and politicians to get Sohrabuddin eliminated.

However, Patni insists that he is innocent.

"I have nothing to do with case. I do not want to comment," says Patni.

With the CBI's attention now turning towards Rajasthan, the Congress-led UPA government may find it difficult to explain why one of its own ministers is so close to a person who is under the scanner.

Now guess who was recieving the extortion money from Hon. Sohrabuddin Sheikh?

Also Late Sohrabuddin, should be given status of Martyr and Bharat Ratna for his significant contribution to the Nation.

At least his sacrifice sharpened the intelligence and ability of CBI.

Hon. SC wanted and shifting all the gujrat riot cases to out of Gujrat. and also

CBI wants Sohrabuddin case shifted out of Gujarat

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/CBI-wants-Sohrabuddin-case-shifted-out-of-Gujarat/articleshow/6237100.cms

Why not shift them to Pakistan or Bangladesh?

So that Dawood too can depose and give oral evidence in favor of his henchman? It can make happy to both Pakistan and  vote bank of sms.

They may call this gesture as an example of secularism.

Sohrabuddin case should shifted to the lap of Mr Narendra Modi !

Perhaps his time is over.

The main question is that; How this case has come on top priority of Congress, SC and CBI ???

What happened about; Amit Jethwa, Satyendra Dubey, Satish Shetty, Datta Patil, Shashidhar Mishra, Vitthal Gite any many more common citizens who are murdered sisnce they exposed the nexus of corrupt public servants and local politicians ???

If this case is followed by SC itself so why the eyes of SC are closed from the Hungry poor citizens whose wheat is gone waste by mishandling in stocking in open grounds so that can be sold to liquor companies?  Why the eyes of SC is closed from the loot of money of poor BPL citizens under the pretext of common wealth games?  There are thousands questions why the Congress, SC and CBI do nothing and thousands people are being murdered by keeping them hungry.  Only Sohrabuddin case has become such important for all of them.

The information posted by Mr. Ashutosh here clearly indicating that the congress is going to honour Sohrabuddin, a martyr,  who was having lot of AK-47 rifles, bombs etc.  The congress concern is only to defeat the BJP and took over power in Gujarat.  Congress has no other concerns with the security and welfare of citizens.  They wants power and judiciary people wants favour by the politicians who are in power.

This case is a mile stone example of power politics nexus between politicians and judicial peoples.

CBI`s extra efficiency and quickness and intelligence shown in this case is appreciable. But Sohrabuddin was known for his notoriety and was an established criminal. CBI inquiry too should be initiated against for those who r responsible for the anti-Sikh riots after the death Smt. Indira Gandhi, in which more than 4000 Sikhs got butchered. And also inquiry be set up for unfolding the conspiracy behind the cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus from the valley and atrocities committed on them since last 60 years.

And one more thing to note Mr. ashutosh, your this posting will go hidden anytime from here, you see.  Many important posting are hidden I noted.
