Ravi Mohan divorce case: Aarti gets relief as Madras high court dismisses actor’s petition to delay maintenance case deadline etimes.in / Jun 09, 2026, 14:32 (IST) The Madras high court has dismissed actor Ravi Mohan's plea to delay a maintenance case hearing. Aarti Ravi had sought urgent interventi As an important turn in the legal battle between actor Ravi Mohan and his separated wife Aarti Ravi, the Madras High Court rejected the actor’s petition for further delay in the case pertaining to interim maintenance. The latest order means the deadline already fixed by the court for hearing the maintenance plea will remain unchanged. The case continues to attract attention as the divorce proceedings between the couple are still pending before the Chennai Family Welfare Court. Court keeps the earlier two-week deadline intact According to News 18, the dispute revolves around an interim maintenance petition filed by Aarti Ravi. In her plea, she argued that Ravi Mohan made no interim payments since April 2025 for costs associated with their children's education. As the petition was not taken up for hearing immediately, she approached the High Court seeking urgent intervention. Earlier, the High Court directed the Family Welfare Court to hear the maintenance application and pass appropriate orders within two weeks.

Juvenile cannot be denied bail solely due to seriousness of allegations: Madhya Pradesh high court TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Jun 09, 2026, 18:50 (IST) The Madhya Pradesh high court has made a decision by granting bail to a juvenile, reminding us that serious charges alone do not dictate the fate of young o NEW DELHI: The Madhya Pradesh high court has held that the seriousness of an offence alone cannot be a reason to deny bail to a juvenile, and granted bail to a child in conflict with law whose bail pleas had earlier been rejected by both the Juvenile Justice Board and the sessions court. Justice Anand Singh Bahrawat of the Gwalior bench passed the order on 25 May 2026, setting aside the orders of the Juvenile Justice Board, District Guna, and the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Guna, which had denied bail to the juvenile who had been in custody since 1 April 2026. What was the dispute The juvenile was facing charges under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Sections 103(1), 109(1), 191(2), 190, 296(B), 115(2) and 118(1). The juvenile had filed a bail application under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 before the Juvenile Justice Board, District Guna. Later, the 4th Additional Sessions Judge also upheld the rejection on 9 April 2026, mainly citing the seriousness of the alleged offence. Before the high court, the juvenile's lawyer argued that both courts had rejected the bail plea mainly because of the seriousness of the allegations without showing any specific material to prove that releasing the juvenile would bring the juvenile into contact with known criminals, expose the juvenile to moral, physical or psychological danger, or defeat the ends of justice. It was argued that Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice Act requires that a juvenile should be released on bail unless the case falls under the specific exceptions mentioned in the law. In the absence of any such material, the continued detention of the juvenile was not justified.

Delhi court stays order for FIR against Abhijit Iyer-Mitra over posts on Newslaundry journalists

Delhi court stays order for FIR against Abhijit Iyer-Mitra over posts on Newslaundry journalists A Delhi court on Tuesday stayed a magistrate court's order directing registration of a first information report (FIR) against Abhijit Iyer-Mitra for objectionable social media posts against Newslaundry's Manisha Pande and other journalists. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Purshotam Pathak of Saket court observed that the words used by Iyer-Mitra were in the form of shayari but no individual was specifically named in it. "The meticulous interpretation of the words and sentences used can only be done after hearing both the parties on merits on the revision petition. Even otherwise, no prejudice shall be caused to the respondent/complainant, in case, the operation of the impugned order is stayed till final disposal of the revision petition on merits," the sessions judge said. The Court also noted that the action taken report filed by the Delhi Police claims to have supported the version of Iyer-Mitra but is also inconclusive. "The assistance of the police officials is also required to ascertain the mens-rea or motive, which could only be determined after taking on record respective replies of both the parties in revision and hearing arguments thereon," the Court added. Therefore, it stayed the order of the magistrate court. Manisha Pande and six other journalists had approached the magistrate court stating that Iyer-Mitra referred to them as prostitutes repeatedly in a series of posts and articles on the social media platform X (Twitter).
