Answer by KISHAN RETD JUDGE :  Section 6(5) in The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (5) Nothing contained in this section shall apply to a partition, which has been effected before the 20th day of December, 2004. Explanation. —For the purposes of this section “partition” means any partition made by execution of a deed of partition duly registered under the Registration Act, 1908 (16 of 1908) or partition effected by a decree of a court.] Statement of Objects and Reasons [The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005] Section 6 of the Act deals with devolution of interest of a male Hindu in coparcenary property and recognises the rule of devolution by survivorship among the members of the coparcenary. The retention of the Mitakshara coparcenary property without including the females in it means that the females cannot inherit in ancestral property as their male counterparts do. The law by excluding the daughter from participating in the coparcenary ownership not only contributes to her discrimination on the ground of gender but also has led to oppression and negation of her fundamental right of equality guaranteed by the Constitution having regard to the need to render social justice to women, the States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra have made necessary changes in the law giving equal right to daughters in Hindu Mitakshara coparcenary property. The Kerala Legislature has enacted the Kerala Joint Hindu Family System (Abolition) Act, 1975. It is proposed to remove the discrimination as contained in section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 by giving equal rights to daughters in the Hindu Mitakshara coparcenary property as the sons have. State Amendment Sections 6A to 6C Karnataka: After section 6 the following sections shall be inserted, namely:— "6A. Equal rights to daugher in co-parcenary property.— Notwithstanding anything contained in section 6 of this Act— (a) in a joint Hindu family governed by Mitakshara law, the daughter of a co-parcener shall by birth become a co-parcener in her own right in the same manner as the son and have the same rights in the co-parcenary property as she would have had if she had been a son inclusive of the right to claim by survivorship and shall be subject to the same liabilities and disabilities in respect thereto as the son; (b) at a partition in such a joint Hindu family the co-parcenary property shall be so divided as to allot to a daughter the same share as is allotable to a son: Provided that the share which a predeceased son or a predeceased daughter would have got at the partition if he or she had been alive at the time of the partition, shall be allotted to the surviving child of such predeceased son or of such predeceased daughter: Provided further that the share allotable to the predeceased child of a predeceased son or of a predeceased daughter, if such child had been alive at the time of the partition, shall be allotted to the child of such predeceased child of the predeceased son or of such predeceased daughter, as the case may be; (c) any property to which a female Hindu becomes entitled by virtue of the provisions of clause (a) shall be held by her with the incidents of co-parcenary ownership and shall be regarded, notwithstanding anything contained in this Act or any other law for the time being in force, as property capable of being disposed of by her by will or other testamentary disposition; (d) nothing in clause (b) shall apply to a daughter married prior to or to a partition which had been effected before the commencement of Hindu Succession (Karnataka Amendment) Act, 1990.

It may be noted that once a notice for payment is given then the holder must file a complaint under Section 138 N.I. Act within 30 days from expiry of notice period as a fresh cause of action will not arise if the cheque is presented again and it is dishonoured and failure to file complaint will lead to loss of remedy available under Section 138 N.I.

Answer by KISHAN RETD JUDGE :  CHILD CUSTODY LAW:- The law governing Child Custody cases in India, broadly, falls under following Act:- 1. Guardian and Wards Act, 1890 2. Section 26 of HMA 3. Article 32/226 of Constitution of India in exceptional cases PLACE WHERE CHILD CUSTODY CASE IS FILED Child custody cases are filed in the jurisdiction of the family court/competent court where minor child ordinarily resides. For example, father is living in Mumbai. Mother is living in Delhi along with minor child. If father wants to file Child Custody, he has to file the same only in Delhi. Thus, family court or concerned competent court shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over the child custody to the exclusion of all other courts. GENERAL CONSIDERATION BEFORE COURT WHILE DECIDING CHILD CUSTODY CASES BY THE COURT All courts seized of child custody cases are duty bound to consider welfare of the minor child or children as the case may be. Parent seeking child custody has to prove that interest and welfare of the child shall be protected by him/her much better than the respondent/ opposite party. Following are the broad parameters that court considers while deciding the issue of child custody:- • Child’s proximity, closeness and love for the parent • whether uprooting of the child from one parent to another will be adverse to the interest and welfare of the child • Educational qualification of respective spouses and of their immediate respective family members. • Wishes of the minor child, if he can form opinion on his own • Financial status of parties(Not too predominant as generally believed upon) • Performances and achievements in curricular and co-curricular activities • Overall behaviour and conduct of parties PROCEDURE TO FILE CHILD CUSTODY CASE:- A petition for child custody or declaration regarding appointment of natural or legal guardian of minor starts child with the filing of the petition by the spouse seeking child custody. Notably, in child custody cases non-custodial parent seeks the custody/guardianship of the minor child. Such petition usually takes longer time and thus application for Interim or Temporary custody as well as Visitation Rights are also filed by the Non-custodial parent. VISITATION RIGHTS implies regular meeting of the minor child with the non-custodial parent. General duration of visitation rights varies from 1-4 meetings per month. INTERIM CUSTODY implies generally overnight custody or long hours of custody for a defined period to the non-custodial parent with undertaking to restore the custody of the child upon completing the defined time by handing it to the Custodial parent. Custodial parent is required to give response to the petition following which evidence are led by both parents. After closure of evidence of by both parents and their respective witnesses, if any, follows with final arguments and consequent judgement. As stated above in certain situation and exigencies a writ petition under article 32 of the Constitution of India can be filed in the Supreme court or a write petition under article 226 of the Constitution of India can be filed. Such exceptional situation would include but not limited to one parent unlawfully take the child(ren) from the custody of other parent or unlawful retention of the custody of the children by the other parent or custody granted by a foreign court but the father or the mother as the case may be has taken the child out of the jurisdiction of that foreign court or the country. Such petition is filed in nature of Writ of Habeas corpus for Child Custody. It is filed for the expeditious determination of the issue. It is not a full fledged child custody petition having but has limited jurisdiction. However, Supreme Court or High Courts are vested with extra ordinary powers/jurisdiction to determine the issue. Timing of filing such petition is utter importance. Key points: • Child custody cases are emotionally taxing for parties, concerned counsels, as well as the Judge(s). • Generally, the age of majority is eighteen years and in some cases it is twenty-one years. • Nowadays courts often take the helps of experts such as counsellors, psychologist or other specialist dealing with issues of child custody. • It is extremely interesting to note that all judgements that attain finality bound parties with the final outcome. However, the decision or the judgements of child custody cases are never final. It is a departure from the general law. To explain further, Custody of Child has been awarded by judgement or by mutual consent to one of the parent. However, the welfare of the child is prejudiced by the acts and omission of the custodial parent then non-custodial parent can file child custody petition to reclaim the custody on the basis of change of circumstances concerning with the custodial parents adversely affecting the interest and welfare of the minor child(ren).

Answer by KISHAN RETD JUDGE :  Cancellation possible on certain grounds of impossibility: If you did not sign any sale agreement or allotment agreement with the builder at the time of getting your allotment, there is still room for cancellation. Even in case there is no clause for termination or cancellation or you did not enter into any agreement with the builder, you are well within your right to cancel the sale on certain grounds of impossibility depending on the basic agreement between you and the builder. In such a scenario, your grievance for cancellation should be a legitimate one, or else you may also face some legal implications of cancelling without any basis. Make sure to keep a copy of application form, allotment leer as well as the receipt for payments made to the builder to facilitate the cancellation process. Seek legal help: Cancelling an apartment booking involves a number of legal formalities and it is better to get the help of a lawyer socializing in real estate deals.

Getting a lawyer ion board can help you draft the cancellation letter and other communication with the builder without any legal loopholes that the builder may use to his advantage later. Communicate with the builder in black and white: When opting for a cancellation f any apartment, there is no room for verbal communication or assurances. Irrespective of what the builder may assure you, make sure to get every communication in black and white. Even if you are sending an email to the builder, it is recommended to get the mail drafted through your legal counsel. Such a communication I admissible in court and is useful in case of any dispute in refunding of the money by the builder. Explore legal options by approaching a consumer court: If you are not happy with the money that the builder has paid you back on account for cancellation of your apartment, there is a case to approach the consumer protection court.

Ans: Section 143A- It empowers the Court to order the drawer of the cheque to pay Interim Compensation - 20% - Without depositing this amount the accused cannot defend the case. Section 148 – It empowers the Appellate Court to order payment pending the appeal against conviction The Appellate Court may order the appellant to deposit an amount which shall be a minimum of 20% of the fine or compensation awarded by the trial Court.

In which court do I need to file the complaint case under Section 138 N.I. Act in case drawer did not pay after receiving notice? A complaint case under Section 138 N.I. Act can be filed in any competent court in whose jurisdiction any of the following acts have occurred: a) Place of drawing of the cheque, b) Address of bank where cheque was presented (holders bank address), c) Address of bank where cheque is payable (drawers bank address) d) Place from where notice was received by drawer of cheque a. It is possible that each of these four acts could have occurred at different localities. The complainant can choose any one the above places to determine jurisdiction of court where they wish to file complaint. 2. What can I do if it has been more than 30 days since I received information of dishonour of cheque? If the cheque is still valid i.e. 3 months (currently) have not passed from the date of its issue, you can represent the cheque again to your banker as there is no restriction regarding the number of times a cheque can be presented and that every subsequent representation and dishonour gives rise to fresh cause of action for filing complaint. It may be noted that once a notice for payment is given then the holder must file a complaint under Section 138 N.I. Act within 30 days from expiry of notice period as a fresh cause of action will not arise if the cheque is presented again and it is dishonoured and failure to file complaint will lead to loss of remedy available under Section 138 N.I. Act. 3. How long after notice has been served can I file a case against the drawer? After giving notice you need to file a complaint case against drawer under Section 138 N.I. Act within 30 days from the expiry of notice period i.e. 15 days. In other words you need to file complaint case against drawer within 45 days (15+30) from the date of issue of notice. Failure to do so will lead to loss of remedy under Section 138 N.I. Act; however, you can file a summary suit for recovery of money and initiate criminal proceedings under Section 420 I.P.C. within 3 years from date of issue of cheque. 4. What can I do if I do not have the drawer's address? You need the address of the drawer of cheque to issue notice as contemplated under provisions of N.I. Act; also the address is necessary if you wish to avail other legal remedies available to you. You can send the notice to the last known address. In case the address of the drawer has changed and the drawer has not left a forwarding address and the notice is returned with the noting that addressee is not available at the address or addressee has left without leaving a forwarding address then you need to file a complaint case after 15 days (notice period) of receipt of such information or returned notice and within 30 days from expiry of notice period. Failure to do so will lead to loss of remedy under Section 138 N.I. Act; however, you can file a summary suit for recovery of money and initiate criminal proceedings under Section 420 I.P.C. within 3 years from date of issue of cheque 5. What should I do if the notice was returned and could not be served to the drawer? When a notice is returned to the sender as unclaimed or with the noting that addressee is not available at the address or addressee has left without leaving a forwarding address then the date of receipt of such information or returned notice would be the commencing date for the notice period of 15 days. Complaint case under Section 138 N.I. Act must be filed within 30 days from expiry of notice period. Such reckoning would be without prejudice to the right of the drawer of the cheque to show that he had no knowledge that the notice was brought to his address or previous address. 6.

Act., if cheques were given as a security cheque as per past practice and pending reconciliation of accounts and not towards discharge of any liability. 10.

You can file a summary suit for recovery of money and initiate criminal proceedings under Section 420 I.P.C. within 3 years from date of issue of cheque.

The drawer is asking me to settle the claim at a reduced value. What should I do? Its up to you to settle the claim at a reduced value as the same will save your precious time, as well as legal hassle. Now-a-days courts are also encouraging amicable settlement between the parties. However, if you settle the dishonoured cheque amount at a reduced value, you will lose all remedies available under law. 19. What remedy do I have if the drawer delays in settling after conviction?

You can adopt either or any of the remedies available to you: a) Can file a criminal complaint against drawer of cheque under Section 138 of N.I. Act. b) Can file a summary suit for recovery of money, interest and legal expenses. c) Can file a criminal complaint against drawer of cheque under Section 420 of I.P.C. Please note that there is no provision for recovery of money under Section 420 I.P.C. and this section is meant only for prosecution of the drawer of the cheque. In case a person has filed suit for recovery, then he is not precluded from filing a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

Answer by KISHAN RETD JUDGE :  That some groups get more rights than others is an idea invented by those who want to maintain the status quo where they can discriminate against minority groups, either visible (racial) minorities, minorities based on religion or sexual orientation or gender based groups. They maintain that these groups get ‘special rights’ when in fact such groups are often discriminated against and not allowed to exercise the rights that the majority group (usually but not always white, Christian males in N. America) takes for granted. The majority group has been in power for so long that they see other groups doing nothing more than getting equality as actually getting more rights than they (the group in power) has. This can be seen by such incidents as a minority group, for example homosexuals, being refused the ability to purchase the cake of their choice at a bakery, or further back in the past people of certain racial backgrounds being refused the ability to drink from the same water fountains as everybody else, eat in the same restaurants or ride at the front of a bus or more recently women not being given the same pay for the same job. These people were not asking for ‘special rights’ but just the same rights as the group in power yet the group in power frequently labels the enforcement of equal rights as getting ‘special rights’ because they feel threatened if they don’t get an advantage over the hitherto discriminated-against groups.

Answer by KISHAN RETD JUDGE :  It said that the scope of Order 26 Rule 9 of the CPC is very limited. The Trial Court in any suit in which a local investigation is required or proper for purpose of elucidating any matter of dispute may appoint a Commissioner The provisions of Order XXVI Rule 9 of the CPC are very clear and for the ready reference the same is reproduced below :- “9. Commissions to make local investigations.-- In any suit in which the Court deems a local investigation to be requisite or proper for the purpose of elucidating any matter in dispute, or of ascertaining the market value of any property, or the amount of any mesne profits or damages or annual net profits, the Court may issue a commission to such person as it thinks fit directing him to make such investigation and to report thereon to the Court : Provided that, where the State Government has made rules as to the persons to whom such commission shall be issued, the Court shall be bound by such rules.” The High Court made out that It is that during pendency of the trial and before the judgment if the Trial Court finds that any issue requires clarification or elucidation, the Court may suomoto appoint Commissioner to submit the report for which no application is required. It said that the scope of Order 26 Rule 9 of the CPC is very limited. The Trial Court in any suit in which a local investigation is required or proper for purpose of elucidating any matter of dispute may appoint a Commissioner. It is settled law that the parties are required to prove their own case by way of evidence, therefore, it is the duty of plaintiff/defendant to first give evidence in support of their case. After the evidence of parties, if Court deems it proper that any issue requires clarification then the Court may appoint a Commissioner. The report of Commissioner is merely a piece of evidence and not binding on the Trial Court. It can be used for the purpose of appreciating the evidence came on record. By looking at the case in hand, the Court cleared that respondent hadn't provided any evidence to prove his case and thus he couldn't avail benefits of Order 29 Rule 9 of CPC. It thus set aside the impugned Trial Court order by turning the application invoked under Order 29 Rule 9 of CPC.
