‘Just a wall away from death': 70 Barbanki men stranded in war-torn Israel, kin pray for safety
1 2 3 4 5 6 Lucknow: At least 70 men from UP's Barabanki district employed in Israel are stranded there due to flight suspensions following the Iran-Israel missile war. At home, the emotional toll is high. Every call from them elicits a sigh of relief. These men are mostly from Vinovagram, Jagdishpur, Atkahaiya, and Kheri (Deva block) of Barabanki. Prince, 28, a worker from Kheri village, is in Kiryat Gat, a city hit repeatedly in the recent escalations. "When sirens wail, we don't run, we fly. Every second counts. I've seen missiles fall less than a kilometre away," he told his kin over a video call. In another part of the village, Achhe Lal recalls the night his son, Tej Bahadur Singh, a welder, survived a direct missile hit on the building above his bunker. "He was just a wall away from death," said Lal. Tej has now been relocated by Israeli authorities. His wife, Bindeshwari, who runs a small beauty parlour back home, said, "Each call ends with a deep sigh. I never know if the next one will come." Many like Santa Ram, 30, continue to work despite the risk. Employed in Rehad, away from Jerusalem, he earns Rs 2 lakh per month. "There's danger, but I couldn't dream of this income at home," he told his family over video call. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

"Even in sleep, our ears are trained for sirens," he said. Raju Singh, 30, from Vinovagram, left for Israel just two months after his wedding in March 2024. He is yet to meet his now seven-month-old son. "In every video call, we hear sirens and his heavy breathing as he rushes to the bunker," said his wife Jasmati. "I tell him to return, but he says, not yet. The money will help us build a future," she added. Raju's father, Manikchand, added, "The Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow save most missiles, but the falling debris... who can escape that fate?" His voice trembles. Two of Raju's brothers serve in the Indian Army, while the third one works in Jordan. "They're all soldiers in their own way," said Manikchand. In these villages, children play under neem trees, unaware that their fathers exist only through flickering mobile screens. Pradeep Singh's new-born daughter has never felt his touch. "She reaches out to the phone whenever he calls," said his mother, adding, "She doesn't know her father lives in a warzone." The elderly mothers, young wives and wide-eyed children of Barabanki pray that the next call from their loved ones won't be the last. Amid the escalating war between Iran and Israel, these families live suspended between courage and helplessness, survival and sacrifice.

Only civil court can decide on a marriage's validity, not registrar, rules Kerala HC
K ochi: High court has ruled that a registrar of marriages is not authorised to cancel a marriage certificate merely because the parties later claim that the marriage was invalid. Any dispute regarding validity of a marriage must be resolved by a competent civil court. The ruling was made by Justice C S Dias while dismissing a petition filed by a couple challenging the registrar's order rejecting their joint request to cancel the marriage certificate, on the ground that their marriage had been improperly registered. However, the court preserved the petitioners' right to approach a competent civil court for appropriate relief. According to petitioners, they lived together for a short period in Nov 2014 and registered their marriage to avoid legal repercussions and social issues. Shortly thereafter, their relationship deteriorated, and they have been living separately for the past 10 years. They later approached the registrar seeking cancellation of the marriage certificate, claiming that their marriage was not solemnised under the Special Marriage Act, as they belonged to different religions — Muslim and Hindu. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The registrar rejected their application, stating that there was no provision to cancel a marriage certificate under the applicable rules. This led the petitioners to approach HC, contending that Rule 13 of the Kerala Registration of Marriages (Common) Rules empowers the registrar to cancel the certificate. HC held that, once the petitioners voluntarily declared that their marriage had been solemnised and submitted supporting documents and oral testimony, the registrar was justified in registering the marriage. The petitioners cannot subsequently seek cancellation of the certificate simply by asserting that no valid marriage took place. The registrar does not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate such a disputed question of fact under Rule 13. Any dispute regarding the validity or existence of a marriage must be resolved by a competent civil court.

Shaken after plane crash on son's hostel, PI finds him safe at home
Ahmedabad: Meghaninagar police inspector D B Basiya was among the first responders to the devastating AI 171 plane crash. What awaited him at the crash site wasn't just a scene of destruction, it was deeply personal. As the debris of the downed aircraft smouldered, Basiya stood frozen. The tail of the plane had come crashing down on the mess hall of the medical college hostel — the very place where his son Rajat, a second-year MBBS student, usually had his meals. Unaware that his son had stayed home that day, the father in uniform feared the worst. Just a day before the crash, Rajat had returned home briefly to get his clothes washed and refill snacks — a routine visit. He had told his parents he would return to the hostel on June 12. "When I left for duty o June 12, Rajat told me he would leave soon for the hostel," said Basiya, recalling that morning. "When I reached the site and saw the mess destroyed, I couldn't speak." Even as a father's heart trembled, the officer in him acted. He coordinated with the fire brigade, supported volunteers, and remained outwardly composed — all the while thinking of son's safety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Gathering courage, he called his wife. Relief washed over him when she said Rajat had delayed his return. "He decided to spend more time with us since his exams were a few days away," Basiya said. Later, a video call confirmed what his heart had desperately hoped — Rajat was home, safe, sitting with his mother. While Rajat had escaped the tragedy, his friends and fellow students had not been as fortunate. "Some of the victims were the same age as my son," said Basiya. That night, Basiya continued his duty — at the Civil Hospital, surrounded by the aftermath of a crash that nearly took his own child. Some of his son's friends, shaken, stayed at their home — the only comfort they had in a night that changed many lives forever.
