Read the full Rakhi Sadhukhan v. Raja Sadhukhan case update and legal insights on spousal support. Supreme Court’s Landmark Ruling on Alimony Increase The Supreme Court of India recently issued a significant judgment increasing permanent alimony payments to ₹50,000 per month in the case of Rakhi Sadhukhan v. Raja Sadhukhan. This ruling nearly doubles the amount previously granted by the Calcutta High Court, highlighting the Court’s commitment to ensuring that an unmarried ex-wife’s maintenance supports a lifestyle comparable to her standard of living during marriage. Background of the Case: Rakhi Sadhukhan v. Raja Sadhukhan Married in 1997, Rakhi and Raja Sadhukhan separated in 2008 after years of marital discord. The Calcutta High Court had initially awarded Rakhi permanent alimony of ₹20,000 monthly, subject to a 5% increase every three years. Dissatisfied with the amount, Rakhi appealed to the Supreme Court of India, arguing that the sum did not reflect her husband’s financial capability nor her marital lifestyle. Supreme Court’s Decision: Key Highlights Alimony Reflecting Marital Standard of Living The Supreme Court of India bench, led by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, recognized that Rakhi, who remains unmarried and lives independently, deserves maintenance aligned with the standard of living she enjoyed during the marriage. The Court increased the alimony to ₹50,000 per month with a 5% increment every two years to account for inflation and rising living costs. Husband’s Financial Status and Obligations The Court took into consideration Raja Sadhukhan’s net monthly income of ₹1.64 lakh, employed at the Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata, and ruled that he is capable of paying the enhanced alimony despite his other financial responsibilities, including support for his second wife and elderly parents. Maintenance for Adult Children Clarified Since the couple’s son is now 26 years old and financially independent, the Court clarified there is no legal obligation for mandatory maintenance towards him. However, voluntary support for educational or other reasonable expenses remains an option. The son’s inheritance rights remain intact under applicable laws. What This Means for Spousal Maintenance Law in India This Supreme Court of India ruling reinforces that maintenance awarded post-divorce must ensure the ex-wife can maintain a lifestyle reasonably similar to her marital life, especially if she remains unmarried. It also sets a precedent for courts to consider inflation and financial disclosures in alimony decisions. Conclusion: Ensuring Fair and Adequate Alimony The Supreme Court of India’s decision in Rakhi Sadhukhan v. Raja Sadhukhan underscores the importance of fair spousal maintenance that balances financial capabilities with the rights of the ex-spouse. By increasing the permanent alimony amount, the Court emphasizes securing the financial future of unmarried ex-wives and preserving their dignity post-divorce.   Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

Learn about this important ruling and its implications for civil litigation. Introduction: Key Supreme Court Ruling on Temporary Injunctions The Supreme Court of India has delivered a crucial judgment regarding temporary injunctions in civil suits. The Court ruled that no temporary injunction can be granted when an appeal is filed against the rejection of a plaint. This decision emphasizes the importance of a subsisting plaint for seeking injunction orders and has significant implications for litigants and courts alike. What is a Temporary Injunction and When Can It Be Granted? A temporary injunction is a court order that temporarily restrains a party from doing a particular act until the final resolution of a suit. It serves as an interim relief to maintain the status quo and prevent harm. However, the Supreme Court has now clarified that a temporary injunction cannot be issued once the plaint — the written complaint initiating the lawsuit — is rejected by the trial court. Background of the Case: Appeal Against Rejection of Plaint The judgment arose from a case heard by Justices BV Nagarathna and SC Sharma. The respondent filed an appeal under Order VII Rule 11 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) against the rejection of their plaint. Alongside this appeal, the respondent sought a temporary injunction against the appellant. While the appeal was pending in the High Court of India, a temporary injunction was granted. The appellant challenged this injunction before the Supreme Court of India. Supreme Court’s Observations and Decision The Supreme Court set aside the temporary injunction, holding that: Once a plaint is rejected, it ceases to exist and no injunction order can remain valid unless the plaint is revived or restored. The appeal against the rejection of the plaint is not considered a continuation of the suit. A subsisting plaint is mandatory to seek an injunction order. The High Court erred in granting the injunction while the plaint was dismissed and under appeal. Implications of the Supreme Court Ruling This ruling reinforces that: Courts cannot grant temporary injunctions if the plaint is dismissed. Plaintiffs must ensure the plaint is restored or revived before seeking interim relief. It protects defendants from injunctions based on non-existent suits. This clarifies procedural boundaries in civil litigation and strengthens the application of Order VII Rule 11 CPC. Conclusion: Understanding Temporary Injunctions Post-Plaint Rejection The Supreme Court of India’s decision brings clarity to civil procedure, emphasizing that a plaint must be active for temporary injunctions to be valid. Litigants and legal practitioners should note this ruling to avoid procedural errors in seeking interim relief. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

Supreme Court Clears Teacher of Abetment Charges in Student Suicide Case Under Section 306 IPC Prabhat Kumar Biltoria 2 June 2025 Supreme Court of India discharges teacher accused of abetment in student suicide case under Section 306 IPC, ruling that mere scolding does not constitute instigation or provocation. Learn more about this landmark judgment. Overview of Supreme Court Verdict on Teacher’s Role in Student Suicide The Supreme Court of India recently discharged a teacher accused of abetting a student’s suicide, clarifying that mere scolding does not amount to abetment under Section 306 IPC. This significant judgment addresses the crucial aspect of mens rea (intention) in suicide abetment cases, emphasizing the need for clear evidence of instigation or provocation. Case Background: Teacher’s Scolding and Student’s Suicide In this case, a student tragically took their own life after being scolded by their teacher. The teacher was initially charged with abetment of suicide, facing legal scrutiny for allegedly provoking the student. However, the Supreme Court found no evidence to prove that the teacher intended or anticipated the student’s fatal reaction. Supreme Court’s Rationale: Absence of Mens Rea and Instigation The bench, comprising Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Prashant Kumar Mishra, overturned the Madras High Court’s refusal to discharge the teacher. The Court reasoned that: The teacher acted responsibly in response to a complaint. No evidence suggested the teacher intended to cause the student’s suicide. To establish abetment under Section 306 IPC, elements such as instigation, provocation, or deliberate assistance must be proven. Mere scolding, without evidence of intent or encouragement, cannot lead to a charge of abetment to suicide. Legal Implications: Defining Abetment in Suicide Cases This ruling reinforces the legal principle that abetment of suicide requires clear proof of intentional acts or encouragement leading to the tragedy. It serves as an important precedent, highlighting that ordinary disciplinary actions like scolding do not equate to criminal liability unless accompanied by deliberate harmful intent. Conclusion: Supreme Court’s Role in Protecting Responsible Authority The Supreme Court’s decision to discharge the teacher underscores the importance of distinguishing between disciplinary measures and criminal acts. It protects responsible authorities from unwarranted charges when no mens rea or instigation is established. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

Kerala High Court Upholds Trial of Bank Employee Accused of Threatening to Kill Chief Minister Prabhat Kumar biltoria 01 June 2025 The Kerala High Court has upheld the criminal trial of a bank employee accused of threatening to kill Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Learn about the key legal findings and implications of this high-profile case. Background of the CM Threat Case In a case dating back to 2021, the Kerala High Court refused to quash criminal proceedings against Abjijith M (a bank employee from Kollam), who allegedly sent a threatening message targeting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The message—sent shortly after the Left Democratic Front (LDF)’s victory in the 2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly election—was reportedly delivered to the CM’s Additional Private Secretary and stated: “I will kill Pinarayi Vijayan.” FIR and Legal Charges An FIR was registered under the following provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Kerala Police Act: Section 153 IPC – Provocation with intent to cause riots Section 506(i) IPC – Criminal intimidation Section 120(o) of the Kerala Police Act – Sending nuisance messages Kerala High Court’s Judgment and Key Observations Justice PV Kunhikrishnan, presiding over the case, emphasized that threats to constitutional authorities cannot be dismissed lightly. “Even if sent as a joke or in an emotional state, such a message has serious legal implications,” the Court observed. He further stated that, in the digital age, it has become fashionable to post disparaging or threatening content about public officials—including Chief Ministers, the Prime Minister, and judges—on platforms like social media for attention. The Court criticized this trend, noting it wastes the time and resources of the police force, which must investigate the seriousness of each threat. No Relief for the Accused After his plea was rejected by a judicial magistrate court in 2023, Abjijith M sought relief through a revision petition to the Kerala High Court. However, the Court dismissed the plea, confirming that: A prima facie case had been established The abusive and intimidating tone of the message could not be ignored As a bank employee with an education, the accused should have known the consequences Implications for Social Media Conduct and Legal Accountability This ruling sends a strong message that online threats against constitutional authorities—even if claimed as jokes—are legally actionable. The judgment reflects increasing concern over the misuse of digital platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter (X) for attention-seeking or harmful purposes. Importantly, it reinforces that freedom of speech under the Indian Constitution does not extend to threats or criminal intimidation. Conclusion The Kerala High Court’s decision to proceed with the trial of a man accused of threatening to kill Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan highlights the legal risks of abusing digital communication tools. This case serves as a reminder that irresponsible social media behavior can have serious legal consequences. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sadalaw. Edit your profile. Log out?

Karnataka High Court Rules Police Cannot Access Call Records Without Justified Investigation Prabhat Kumar Biltoria 01 May 2025 In a historic verdict, the Supreme Court of India invalidated the premature release of 11 convicts in the The Karnataka High Court has ruled that police cannot access an individual’s call detail records (CDRs) without a justified investigation, reinforcing the right to privacy under Indian law. Learn more about the case and its legal implications. Introduction: Right to Privacy vs. Police Powers In a significant legal development, the Karnataka High Court has reaffirmed that call detail records (CDRs) are private and cannot be accessed by police without a legitimate investigation. This ruling highlights the growing importance of the right to privacy in India, especially concerning digital data protection and law enforcement practices. Court Case Summary: Illegal Access to CDRs by Police Officer Background of the Case The case revolves around Sub-Inspector Vidya VM of Byatarayanapura Police Station, who allegedly accessed a woman’s CDRs without lawful authority. The complainant accused the officer of obtaining and misusing her CDRs, causing emotional distress. The accused officer, along with others, is facing criminal charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code including: Section 354(D) – Stalking Section 409 – Criminal breach of trust Section 506 – Criminal intimidation Section 509 – Insulting modesty of a woman They are also charged under the Information Technology Act, 2000, including: Section 66(D) – Cheating by personation using computer resources Section 66(E) – Violation of privacy Court’s Findings: Privacy is a Fundamental Right No Relief for the Accused Officer Justice Suraj Govindaraj, while hearing the plea, emphasized that CDRs are personal and confidential data. The Court clarified that police can only request such data when it is absolutely necessary for a lawful investigation. The judge referred to the Supreme Court of India’s landmark Puttaswamy judgment, which recognized privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Any deviation from this principle, such as unwarranted surveillance or data collection, could push the country towards a “police state”. Misuse of Personal Data Raises Concern The complainant alleged that her CDRs were shared with individuals against whom she had previously filed another complaint. This breach not only affected her personally but also posed a serious threat to the integrity of lawful police procedures. Legal Implications: Upholding Digital Privacy in India This ruling sends a strong message about the limits of police power in digital surveillance. It highlights the need for: Strict adherence to lawful procedures Protection of personal data Increased accountability in law enforcement Conclusion: Balancing Security and Civil Liberties The Karnataka High Court’s decision is a crucial step in reinforcing the digital rights of citizens. It ensures that law enforcement agencies in India cannot bypass the law to collect personal data like CDRs without genuine investigative necessity. As India continues to digitize its legal and governance systems, rulings like this strengthen trust in the judiciary and protect individuals from potential misuse of power. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What are Call Detail Records (CDRs)? CDRs are logs maintained by telecom providers that include information such as phone numbers, call durations, and timestamps—but not the actual content of the conversation. Is accessing CDRs without consent legal in India? No, call detail records can only be accessed by authorized officers during a lawful investigation. Unlawful access violates the right to privacy in India. What was the Puttaswamy case? It was a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2017 that declared the right to privacy a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution.   Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sadalaw.
