SC flags ‘false’ POCSO cases in marital disputes, bars immediate arrest of accused parent Rape-murder of A law student: Petitioner Ameer-Ul-Islam seeking transfer from Viyyur Central Prison in Kerala to a jail in Assam NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday laid down safeguards against the immediate arrest of a parent or family member accused under the POCSO Act when the alleged offence involves a child living under the same roof and there is a matrimonial dispute between the child's parents.A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Viswanathan, flagging a rise in fakecases, said police should not act in haste in such cases and directed that, as a general rule, an expert in child and adolescent psychiatry or clinical psychology should evaluate the child before authorities decide whether there is sufficient reason to arrest the accused.The court said the safeguards were necessary in cases where allegations may be influenced by a strained relationship between the parents. It stressed that the measures do not dilute the seriousness of offences under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, but are intended to ensure that the power of arrest is exercised after considering all relevant circumstances.The court said immediate arrest should not take place when two conditions are present: a POCSO offence is alleged against a parent or family member living with the child, and a matrimonial dispute exists between the child's parents, whether or not the dispute is pending before a court. The police officer receiving the complaint must verify whether such a matrimonial dispute exists, the court said. "When the above-stated threshold conditions are met, post the registration of an FIR, we are of the considered opinion that the investigating officer should not act in haste or take coercive actions in the form of arrest immediately," the bench added,…

Tata Sons tells Noel Tata Chandrasekaran reappointment was legally valid: Report

Tata Sons tells Noel Tata Chandrasekaran reappointment was legally valid: Report Tata Sons has told the Tata Trusts' chairman Noel Tata that its decision to reappoint N Chandrasekaran as chairman was legally valid and consistent with the company's internal governance framework, according to two people with direct knowledge of the letter, as cited by Reuters. The letter marks the conglomerate's first formal response to questions raised by the Tata Trusts, which collectively control the majority stake in Tata Sons. It comes after a week of public statements and interviews from both sides over Chandrasekaran's reappointment for another five-year term. The dispute has triggered competing claims over the decision-making process within the 158-year-old Tata group and has developed into its most significant internal crisis in recent years. Tata Sons cites legal opinions In its response to allegations from the Tata Trusts that Chandrasekaran's reappointment breached Tata Sons' internal governance rules, the company cited three legal opinions supporting its position, including opinions from lawyers and former Supreme Court judges, the two sources told Reuters. Tata Sons also told Noel Tata that the board directors had acted in accordance with their responsibilities to the company while taking the decision on Chandrasekaran's appointment, according to the sources. The Tata Trusts' legal team is now examining the response, one of the sources said. Tata Sons and Tata Trusts did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours.
