Supreme Court dissolves marriage, says ego should 'vanish'
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dissolved a couple's marriage and asked them to look after their minor child, noting their egos should "vanish" now the wedlock was over. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan, noting it disliked granting divorces, passed the order after the parties filed a joint plea for dissolution of their marriage by mutual consent. "There should be no ego now. Now, there is no marriage. There is ego in marriage. Once there is no marriage, the ego should vanish. Now look after the child," the bench told the estranged couple. The top court was hearing a plea filed by the woman against an interim order passed by the Bombay High Court in the matter. The lawyers appearing for both parties said after several rounds of negotiations during the pendency of appeal, they had decided to seek dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce by mutual consent on certain terms and conditions. The bench noted the aspect of their child's custody and visitation rights which indicated the child's custody would remain with the mother with the rights of visitation would be with the father in line with the joint application. It came on record that the man would pay Rs 50,000 every month towards his minor daughter. The terms and conditions of settlement in the joint application filed under Article 142 of the Constitution read with section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. While Article 142 empowers the apex court to pass any decree or order necessary for doing "complete justice" in any cause or matter pending before it, Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act deals with divorce by mutual consent. "The parties are present before this court. When queried by this court, the parties stated that they have indeed arrived at a resolution of all their disputes and have decided to part ways by seeking dissolution of their marriage by a decree of divorce by mutual consent," the bench said. It noted both had stated that they would abide by the terms and conditions of the joint application. "On perusal of the aforesaid terms of settlement, we find they are lawful and there is no legal impediment in accepting the same. Consequently, we accept the terms of settlement arrived at between the parties," the bench said. While disposing of the appeal, the top court said the marriage between them should stand dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent.

Lucknow Lawyer Gets Life Sentence For Filing Fake Cases By Misusing Dalit Woman's Identity
Lucknow: A special court here has sentenced an advocate to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 5.10 lakh after finding him guilty of misusing the identity of a Dalit woman to file dozens of fake cases against his opponents . Special Judge (SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act) Vivekanand Sharan Tripathi delivered the verdict on Tuesday, holding Parmanand Gupta guilty of conspiracy and abuse of law by filing false cases through one Pooja Rawat, a Dalit woman, to target his rivals. Special Public Prosecutor Arvind Mishra said Gupta, in collusion with Rawat, had filed at least 18 cases in his own name and another 11 through Rawat. Many of these were lodged against his rival Arvind Yadav and his family in connection with a property dispute. The false cases included allegations of rape and molestation, he added. The matter came to light when arguments were raised before the Allahabad High Court, following which reports were sought from police stations concerned. On March 5, 2025, the high court ordered a CBI probe into the matter. Investigations showed that Gupta conspired to use Rawat's Dalit identity to falsely implicate Yadav and his family. However, during the inquiry it emerged that Rawat was never present at the disputed site at the time of the alleged incidents, and that the house she claimed to have rented was actually under construction by the Yadav family. Rawat later herself submitted an application to the court on August 4, 2025, stating that she had been trapped by Gupta and his wife Sangeeta, who runs a beauty parlour where she worked as an assistant. Rawat admitted she had been coerced into giving false statements of sexual assault before a magistrate and pleaded for pardon. The court granted her conditional pardon. The judge, however, held that Gupta, being fully aware that the charges carried the possibility of life imprisonment, had orchestrated the conspiracy and thus deserved exemplary punishment. Sentencing him to life imprisonment, the court also directed that a copy of its judgment be sent to the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh to ensure that "a criminal like advocate Parmanand Gupta does not enter the court premises and practice law, so that the sanctity of the judiciary is preserved."
