Woman ‘unleashes' dog on advocate who parked his car next to her house, booked
Chandigarh: A woman was Saturday booked for allegedly letting her dog out on a man, an advocate of Punjab and Haryana HC, for parking his car next to her house in Sector 21. The dog badly bit the man, who had to be admitted to hospital. No arrests have been made in the case so far. The victim, Kartik Gandhi, a resident of Mohali's Dera Bassi told police he has an office at house no. 221 in Sector 21 here. On Friday, he went there in his car and parked the vehicle near house no. 230, which is close to his office. After finishing work at 6.30pm, he, along with his friend, Abhimanyu Bishnoi, started walking towards his car. He said when the owner of house no. 230 saw him, she unleashed her pet dog, which was chained until then, on him. The dog, most likely a German Shepherd, attacked both him and his friend. Though the friend somehow managed to run away, the dog pounced on Kartik and bit his left wrist. When he screamed for help, the dog bit him again on his left ankle and then on his right hip. At this time, Gandhi said a car was passing by, and its driver quickly came to his rescue. He took a stick and started hitting the dog with it. But the dog grabbed the stick from his hand and ran inside the house. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lodha Azur—Future-Ready Homes, ₹2.35 Cr Onwards Lodha Azur Get Quote Undo The owner of the house, along with her guard and one more person, was standing and watching the entire incident. The guard and the woman exchanged a few words, following which the guard laughed at Gandhi, and said, "Now park your car again near our house". Gandhi alleged that he also abused and threatened him with dire consequences if he repeated the same mistake in the future. The guard then slammed the door on him and went inside the house. Later, Gandhi's friend Bisnoi took him to GMSH-16 in his car. After receiving initial treatment, he went to Sector 19 police station and lodged a complaint against the owner of the pet dog. After verifying the facts, police registered a case against the woman, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, under relevant sections of BNS and started a probe.

Mother is a 'lawful guardian', can't be accused of kidnapping kid, says court
CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana HC ruled Wednesday that a parent cannot be charged with kidnapping her own child, granting custody of a 12-year-old boy to his Australia-based mother amid a family dispute. Justice Harpreet Singh Brar made the ruling while hearing a habeas corpus plea filed by Raja Rekhi of Gurgaon, the child's paternal uncle. Rekhi sought the boy's release from what he called the illegal custody of the mother, who had taken the child while his father was away on a business trip to Belgium. "For an act to amount to kidnapping, it is necessary that the minor is taken from the custody of a ' lawful guardian '. However, a mother falls well within that ambit, especially in the absence of an order passed by a competent court, divesting her of the same," the court said. The boy's father Amit Rekhi was abroad on April 24 when the mother allegedly broke into his office, took the child's passport, and left with him. According to the uncle's plea, she falsely told police she was taking the boy briefly to visit her parents in Delhi - a claim he disputed, saying her mother does not live there. The petitioner also alleged she intended to take the child to Australia, where she currently resides. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jawa Timur: AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Aroun...

She produced call logs and messages exchanged with the child and argued that as his mother and natural guardian, she retains custody rights until the pending guardianship case before Gurgaon family court is resolved. "It would be just and prudent for this court to take into account the wishes and well-being of the detenu, who is 12 years old, and capable of forming a rational opinion about his living situation," the HC said, siding with the mother.
