Court orders Mumbai housing society to pay Rs 20 lakh compensation for death caused by falling coconut tree
Mumbai: In a rare ruling, a city civil court held an Andheri housing society responsible for negligence and ordered it to pay a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to the father of a 27-year-old man who died after a dead coconut tree on the premises fell on him in 2012. The victim, Kurla-based Rohit Jadhav, was walking towards Andheri railway station after finishing work when the dead tree fell on him. Satya Darshan Co-operative Housing Society Ltd blamed the BMC, claiming that despite requests, the civic body delayed permission to chop down the tree. Refuting the defence, the court said the BMC had already granted permission to cut the dead or dangerous coconut tree, and it was the sole duty of the society to get rid of it to avoid danger to the society members as well as passersby. "In the present case, it is manifest that the society and committee members have not performed their duty to cut the dead and dangerous tree as per the permission of the MCGM, and therefore the incident dated July 18, 2012, happened due to the sole negligence of the defendant society and its committee members," Judge Rajendra Lokhande said. From the compensation amount, the judge deducted Rs 25,000 that the society already paid to the family for medical help. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Want to Become a Profitable Intraday Trader?

The court said despite this, the society did not take "prompt action" to cut the dangerous tree before the incident on July 18, 2012.

They also claimed that a contractor was hired but refused to work during the rainy season. The court rejected this defence, stating that the society's employment of a contractor did not absolve them of their responsibility to remove the dangerous tree immediately. "...because the dangerous tree can be cut by the crane or by any other means, and it is not necessary to climb on a tree which is dead or dangerous. The stall owners also made complaints or objected to not cutting the tree, which cannot be a ground for the defendant society to postpone the work of cutting the dangerous tree," the judge said. The judge also said that there is no evidence that the incident happened due to heavy rainfall such as a storm, tempest, lightning, or extraordinarily heavy rain. "Therefore, the defence of an act of God cannot be accepted," the judge said. The victim, Rohit's father, Bhagwan Jadhav (64), moved the civil court in 2013 against the housing society, its chairman, secretary, joint secretary, treasurer, and seven committee members. Also named were the BMC and the deputy registrar of cooperative societies. At the time of the tragedy, Rohit was serving in a private company at Andheri East on a monthly salary of Rs 7,500. The incident took place at 5.15pm on July 18, 2012, minutes after Rohit left his office along with a friend, Sopan Gowardhawan. Rohit was struck on the head, causing him to become unconscious with multiple bleeding injuries. He was taken to Holy Spirit Hospital, where he was treated until he succumbed to his injuries on July 26, 2012. An FIR was registered for causing death by negligence. The judge dismissed the father's claim against the BMC and the deputy registrar of cooperative societies, stating they were not liable for the mishap. The judge found that the MCGM fulfilled its duty by granting permission to the society to cut the tree and was not mandated to supervise the work.

Kundali Bhagya Fame Anjum Fakih Breaks Silence on Split with Ex-BF Rohit Jadhav: ‘We Should Embrace Breakups'
TV star Anjum Fakih, known for Kundali Bhagya, discussed her breakup with Rohit Jadhav, stressing the importance of embracing breakups. TV star Anjum Fakih rose to prominence with her role in the daily soap Kundali Bhagya. The actress made headlines after news of her breakup with Rohit Jadhav, who isn't from the showbiz industry, began circulating. While she chose to stay tight-lipped at the time, she has now finally broken her silence and reacted to reports of their split. In a conversation with Telly Masala, Anjum Fakih was asked about her ex-partner Rohit Jadhav. She shared that she believes people should embrace breakups just as they embrace love, saying, 'Jab hume pyaar hota hai, hum bohot hi excitement se aur bohot hi khule dil se usko apnate hai. Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki we should embrace breakups as well." (When we are in love, we accept it with excitement and an open heart. I feel we should embrace breakups as well.) She further added, 'Because relationships jaha par hai, waha par anban hogi, waha pe breakups honge. Jaise hum falling in love ko khule dil se swagat karte hai, waise hi hume breakups ko bhi gale lagana chahiye aur unse mayus nahi hona chahiye." (Because where there are relationships, there will be arguments and breakups. Just like we welcome love with open arms, we should also accept breakups and not be disheartened by them.) 'Woh toh tabhi ho gaya tha" (It happened in the past), Anjum disclosed when asked about when the breakup took place. Anjum has also been subjected to social media trolling over time, though it has never bothered her much. The last time she spoke to us at News18, when she was gearing up for Rohit Shetty's show Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 13, the actress talked about facing online negativity and how she deals with it. 'I have been trolled often. I have been trolled because of my clothes, because of pictures with Shraddha, for being in a relationship. I have been trolled for several things but, like I said, I don't stress about it. I don't read about it either because I feel the more negativity you absorb, the more your aura gets affected. This is why I don't go to the comments section. If I happen to see a good comment, I like it and reply. That apart, trolls do not bother me," the actress had shared with us.
