Delhi HC cancels FIR in fight between friends, orders community service in Manipur Delhi HC cancels FIR in fight between friends, orders community service in Manipur Observing that the chances of the case ending in a conviction were remote, the court said continuing the criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. The Delhi High Court has cancelled an FIR lodged after a fight between friends, saying the dispute had been amicably settled and ordering the two accused to perform community service at a hospital in Manipur. The court said the complainant and the accused remained friends and had no subsisting grievance against each other. Observing that the chances of the case ending in a conviction were remote, the court said continuing the criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. It made the relief of cancelling the FIR conditional on community service and payment of costs. In an order passed on August 21, Justice Prateek Jalan said, "... I am of the view that it would be appropriate to make the relief sought (quashing of FIR) subject to undertaking community service and paying appropriate costs. The petitioner and respondent no. 4 (both accused) shall undertake community service for a total of six sessions of two hours each at Regional Institute of Medical Science, Manipur." The court said both men must report to the hospital's medical superintendent, who will assign suitable duties to them.

EXCLUSIVE: स्वतंत्र भारद्वाज की FIR में जुड़ी पोक्सो एक्ट की धारा, फिर भी मिली जमानत, जानिए पूरा डिटेल्स

EXCLUSIVE: स्वतंत्र भारद्वाज की FIR में जुड़ी पोक्सो एक्ट की धारा, फिर भी मिली जमानत, जानिए पूरा डिटेल्स जंतर-मंतर पर हुई मारपीट के मामले से चर्चा में आए स्वतंत्र भारद्वाज की मुश्किलें बढ़ गई हैं. उसके खिलाफ POCSO, BNS और IT एक्ट की धाराओं में नई FIR दर्ज की गई है. केस में नाबालिग से जुड़े यौन उत्पीड़न, पीछा करने, महिला की गरिमा को ठेस पहुंचाने, आपराधिक धमकी समेत आरोप लगाए गए हैं. FIR में लगी धाराएं जमानती हैं, इसलिए इनमें तुरंत गिरफ्तारी की कानूनी बाध्यता नहीं है. इस मामले में स्वतंत्र भारद्वाज को बुलंदशहर से गिरफ्तार किया गया था. उसे वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग के जरिए पटियाला हाउस कोर्ट में ड्यूटी मजिस्ट्रेट के सामने पेश किया गया, जहां से उसे एक दिन की न्यायिक हिरासत में भेज दिया गया है. मामले की सुनवाई सोमवार को संबंधित कोर्ट में होगी. इससे पहले जंतर-मंतर पर हुई मारपीट के मामले को लेकर नगीना के सांसद चंद्रशेखर आजाद नाबालिग पीड़िता के साथ संसद मार्ग थाने पहुंचे थे. इसके बाद पुलिस ने नाबालिग से जुड़ी शिकायत पर स्वतंत्र भारद्वाज के खिलाफ FIR दर्ज की थी. FIR में लगीं 5 धाराएं, क्या हैं इनके मायने? नई FIR में BNS, POCSO एक्ट और IT एक्ट की कुल पांच धाराएं लगाई गई हैं. इनमें हर धारा का अपना अलग मतलब है. धारा 78 BNS- पीछा करना: किसी महिला का पीछा करने या उसकी गतिविधियों पर नजर रखने से जुड़े मामले में यह धारा लगती है. इसमें दोषी पाए जाने पर 3 साल तक की जेल हो सकती है. यह जमानती धारा है. धारा 79 BNS- महिला की गरिमा को ठेस पहुंचाना: किसी महिला की गरिमा को ठेस पहुंचाने वाले कृत्य से जुड़ा मामला इस धारा के तहत आता है. इसमें 3 साल तक की सजा का प्रावधान है. यह भी जमानती धारा है. धारा 351 BNS- आपराधिक धमकी: किसी व्यक्ति को धमकाने या डराने के आरोप में यह धारा लगाई जाती है. इसमें 2 साल तक की सजा हो सकती है. यह जमानती है. धारा 12 POCSO एक्ट- बच्चे से जुड़ा यौन उत्पीड़न: यह धारा बच्चे के यौन उत्पीड़न से जुड़े मामलों में लगाई जाती है. इसमें दोषी पाए जाने पर 3 साल तक की सजा हो सकती है. यह भी जमानती है. धारा 67 IT एक्ट- ऑनलाइन अश्लील सामग्री: इलेक्ट्रॉनिक माध्यम से अश्लील सामग्री के प्रकाशन या…

FDA awaits replies from restaurants at MCA premises: Tukaram Mundhe

FDA awaits replies from restaurants at MCA premises: Tukaram Mundhe Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration is awaiting a response from five restaurants at Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) Bandra-Kurla Complex premises to the notices over third-party contracting arrangements, according to FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. “MCA is registered as a Food Business Operator (FBO), but the actual operator is somebody else, who does not have a license or registration,” Mr. Mundhe told PTI in an interview. “When we issue a license, we issue it to a particular entity, for a particular place and for a particular activity. So, if the MCA took the license and somebody else is working in its name, it is not allowed as per the law,” the senior IAS officer said. Mundhe said the court has passed an order on whether the license taken by MCA can be operated by someone else. “We have issued the notices and will issue the order accordingly,” he said. “There is a violation across four or five places,” Mr Mundhe said, referring to the FDA lifting the suspension on the five restaurants and bars at the MCA facility following intervention by the Bombay High Court last month. The FDA had suspended the food licenses of Permit Room, Pavilion, Mediterranean, Oriental Swing, and Clubway & Pastry Counter. The initial closure notice was based on hygiene lapses and structural violations. The restaurants were being run by a third-party contractor (Shirke Infrastructure), while the FBO licenses were under the MCA's name. “They need to take a license and (only) those who take a license can operate. If some operator needs to, they have to take a license and they can operate,” Mr.
