Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri cited

Sonu v. State (2019),

where it was held that a knife was a deadly weapon irrespective of its dimensions and it was not correct to categorize the knife as a certain type or size before considering it as a deadly weapon.

Can contempt petition be filed and used as execution for decree, if defendent not complying.

The weapon of contempt will not be used for execution of the decree
or implementation of an order for which alternative remedy in law is provided
for.

Wilful disobedience

In civil contempt means 🤔

The civil contempt would mean a wilful disobedience of a decision of this Court. What would be relevant is the “wilful disobedience”. Hence, knowledge of having acted in disregard to an order is sine qua non for being proceeded with if there is a deliberate, conscience and intentional act then the jurisdiction can be clutched."

Decree execution
#CPC@CurrentLegalGK

17. Apex Court has considered the issue as to

whether parallel proceedings viz execution proceedings and contempt proceedings are maintainable?

is concerned, we have no hesitation to hold that both the execution proceedings and the contempt petition are maintainable, as the former one is for recovery of amount and the latter is to punish the wilful disobedience of the order of the Court, provided it is established that execution proceedings and contempt proceedings are independent to each
other.

The Apex Court has categorically held that without first taking recourse to execution proceedings, contempt cannot be entertained.

Only after initiation of E.P. (not after conclusion of the execution proceedings), contempt can be filed and it is for the Court to decide whether it is wilful and deliberate disobedience, depending on the facts of each case.

Youtuber Armaan Malik and his two wives Payal, Kritika summoned by Patiala district court for violating the Hindu marriage act | Hindi Movie News - Times of India https://share.google/6MrjCEC7lRS2tYGew

The legal action stems from a petition filed by Davinder Rajput, who has alleged that Armaan Malik is not just married twice - but four times in violation of the Hindu Marriage Act, which allows only one marriage at a time for practising Hindus. As per a Live Hindustan report, the court has directed all three to appear on 2 September.

Is it possible

?

“A simple analogy to address the difference would be that when an employer hires the same number of men and women, it would be deemed to be following the policy of 'gender-equality'; on the other hand, if the employer hires the best candidate for the job regardless of gender/sex, it would be deemed to be following the policy of 'gender-neutrality'.”

ARSHNOOR KAUR v. UoI 2025

#COI@CurrentLegalGK

Petitioner was taken into custody at 3 p.m. on January 25, 2025, pursuant to the alleged detection of possession of contraband, but his arrest memo was prepared nearly 23 hours later, at 2 p.m. on January 26. He was brought before the magistrate at 8 p.m. the same day — over 29 hours from initial custody.

“The technique of not recording the arrest under one pretext or the other is often resorted to under the guise of investigation. Brutalities of police generally occur during these periods of uncontrolled authority. Unless there is a check, such unrecorded periods of custody can be the source of human rights violation,” it remarked.

#Question@CurrentLegalGK

Whether Short Title of BNS BNSS BSA is unconstitutional?

✍️ Answer

The legal provision under constitution of India sub clause (ii) of clause (b) to Article 348 states as follows.

348. Language to be used in the Supreme Court and in the High Courts and for Acts, Bills, etc.—(1) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Part, until Parliament by law otherwise provides—
ii) of all Acts passed by Parliament or the Legislature of a State and of all Ordinances promulgated by the President or the Governor of a State;
....shall be in the English language.

Clause 2 prescribes state autonomy to enact on different language is they have prescribed as such, but there is no such clause for Union.

Now decide and if you are confused search for earlier precedents of laws short title as hindi or any other language other than ENGLISH.

Even in official languages act, 1963 there is no such provision other than translation.
