हत्या में दो सगे भाइयों समेत छह को उम्रकैद

हत्या में दो सगे भाइयों समेत छह को उम्रकैद
अपर जिला एवं सत्र न्यायाधीश तृतीय राम मनोहर नरायन मिश्रा की अदालत ने 19 वर्ष पूर्व नगर थाने के महरीपुर निवासी राम सहाय सिंह की हत्या के मामले में दो सगे भाइयों समेत छह को उम्र कैद की सजा सुना दी है। प्रत्येक पर दस हजार का जुर्माना भी न्यायालय ने लगाया है।
अभियोजन के अनुसार नगर थाने के महरीपुर निवासी सत्य प्रकाश सिंह ने 19 वर्ष अपने पिता राम सहाय सिंह के हत्या की रिपोर्ट थाने में दर्ज कराई थी । तहरीर के मुताबिक , तीन फरवरी 1994 की शाम को पांच बजे ओमप्रकाश के घर के करीब महरीपुर के ही निवासी सब्बर उर्फ राजू, विजय कुमार, विनोद , रामजीत, हरिश्चंद्र व गोपाल पुरानी रंजिश को लेकर उसके पिता को घेर लिया। गोपाल ,रामजीत के ललकारने पर हरिश्चंद्र, विनोद व विजय चाकुओं से प्रहार करने लगे। इसी बीच सब्बर ने कट्टे से फायर किया। नतीजतन उसके पिता घायल होकर गिर पड़े। अस्पताल तक पहुंचते ही उनकी मौत हो गई। इस मामले में मंगलवार को ही न्यायालय ने आरोपियों को ही दोषी करार दे दिया गया था। जज ने बुधवार को उम्र कैद की सजा सुनादी। इस मामले में अभियोजन का पक्ष सहायक शासकीय अधिवक्ता फौजदारी राघवेश पांडेय ने रखा।

3. Syriac Catholic.
4. Latin Catholic.
5. South India United Church.
6. Other Christian."

In the then United Provinces, the term "Backward Classes" was understood as covering both the untouchable classes as well other "Hindu Backward" classes. Marc Galanter says :
"The United Provinces Hindu Backward Classes League (founded in 1929) submitted a memorandum which suggested that the term "Depressed" carried a connotation "of untouchability in the sense of causing pollution by touch as in the case of Madras and Bombay" and that many communities were reluctant to identify themselves as depressed. The League suggested the term "Hindu Backward" as a more suitable nomenclature. The list of 115 castes submitted included all candidates from the untouchable category as well as a stratum above. "All of the listed communities belong to non-Dwijas or degenerate or Sudra classes of the Hindus." They were described as low socially, educationally - and economically and were said to number over 60% of the population."

The expression "depressed and other backward classes" occurs in the Objectives Resolution of the Constituent Assembly moved by Jawaharlal Nehru on December 13, 1946.

The Christians are divided into a number of groups, including the Chaldean Syrians, Jacobite Syrians, Latin Catholics` Marthom Syrians, Syrian Catholics,and Protestants. Each of these groups practices endogamy. Among the Catholics, the Syrian Romans and the Latin Romans generally do not intermarry. The Christians have not wholly discarded the idea of food restrictions and pollution by lower caste members. When lower caste Hindus were converted to Christianity a generation or two ago, they were not allowed to sit with high caste Christians in church, and separate churches were erected for them."

he argument is that although Cyprus is an independent and sovereign republic with a democratic Constitution, die seats in the legislature are divided between the Greek population following the Greek-Orthodox Church and the Muslim Turkish community. There is a division even at the highest level, the President always to be a Greek Christian and the Vice-President a Muslim Turk. Mr. Nariman emphasised on the separate electorate provided by Cyprus Constitution and urged that these provisions do not render the Constitution undemocratic or illegal. He also referred to the Statesman's Year Book (containing statistical and historical annual of the States of the world for the year 1985-86) showing that the population of the Christian community following Greek-Orthodox Church was in 1983, 5,28,700 but was allotted only 70% of the seats in the legislature, and the Turkish Muslims with a population of only 1,22,900, the remaining 30% of seats.

FEDERALISM UNDER CONSTITUTION

n short, in the affairs of the State (in its widest connotation), religion is irrelevant; it is strictly a personal affair. In this sense and in this behalf, our Constitution is broadly in agreement with the U.S. Constitution, the First Amendment whereof declares that "Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof......." (generally referred to as the "establishment clause"). Perhaps, this an echo of the doctrine of separation of Church and State; may be it is the modern political thought which seeks to separate religion from the State - it matters very little. In this view of the matter, it is absolutely erroneous to say that secularism is a "vacuous word" or a


25.  The great Statesman-Philosopher Dr. Radhakrishnan said:
"When India is said to be a secular State, it does not mean that we reject reality of an unseen spirit or the relevance of religion to life or that we exalt irreligion. It does not mean that Secularism itself becomes a positive religion or that the State assumes divine prerogatives. Though faith in the Supreme is the basic principle of the Indian tradition, the Indian State will not identify itself with or be controlled by any particular religion.  We hold that no one religion should be given preferential status, or unique distinction, that no one religion should be accorded special privileges in national life or international relations for that would be a violation of the basic principles of democracy  and contrary to the best interests of religion and Government. This view of religious impartiality, of comprehension and forbearance, has a prophetic role to play within the national and  @page-SC1951 international life. No group of citizens shall arrogate to itself rights and privileges which it denies to others. No person should suffer any form of disability or discrimination because of his religion but all like should be free to share to the fullest degree in the common life. This is the basic principle involved in the separation of Church and State."
(Recovery of Faith, New York, Harper brothers 1955, p. 202).

Immediately after we attained independence, the Constituent Assembly, aware of the danger of communalism, passed the following resolution on April 3, 1948: 1

84.    Section 3(26) of the General Clauses Act comprehends the categories of properties known to Indian Law.  Article 367 of the Constitution adopts this secular concept of property for purposes of our Constitution.  A temple, church or mosque etc. are essentially immovable properties and subject to protection under Articles 25 and 26.  Every  immovable property is  liable to be acquired.  Viewed in the proper perspective, a mosque does not enjoy any additional protection which is not available to religious places of worship of other religions.

85.    The correct position may be summarised thus.  Under the Mahomedan Law applicable in India, title to a mosque can be lost by adverse possession (See Mulla's Principles of Mahomedan Law, 19th Edn. by M. Hidayatullah - S.217 and  AIR 1940 PC 116).  If that is the position in law, there can be no reason to hold that a mosque has a unique or special status, higher than that of the places of worship of other religions in secular India to make it immune from acquisition by exercise of the sovereign or prerogative power of the State.

D) Constitution of India, Art.25 - Civil P.C. (5 of 1908), S.9, Expln.1 - Right to religion - Includes right to seek declaration that Church was episcopal - Civil suit for such declaration is maintainable under S.9 -Scope and ambit of Expln. 1 to S.9 - Not restrictive.

Per R.M. SAHAI, J. :- The declaration that the Church is episcopal is covered in the expansive expression of religion. The word 'episcopal, means of or pertaining to bishops, having a Govt. vested in bishop'. A suit for declaration of such a right would be maintainable under Section 9. Not only because it is claim to an office but also because there is no other forum where such dispute can be resolved. If a disput

15. In the Commissioner, Hindu Religious Endowments. Madras v. Sri Lakshmindra Thirtha Swamiar of Sri Shirur Mutt. (1954) SCR 1005 : (AIR 1954 SC 282), known as Shirur Mutt case this Court had held that the language of Article 25 indicates to secure to every person subject to public order, health and morality, a freedom not only to entertain such religious belief as may be approved of by his judgment and conscience but also to exhibit his belief in such outward acts as he thinks proper and to propagate or disseminate his ideas for the edification of other. It is the propagation of belief that is protected no matter whether the propagation takes place in a church, or monastery or in a temple or parlour meeting. At page 1023 (of SCR): (at p. 290 of AIR) it was held that the word "religion" has not been defined in the Constitution and it is a term which is hardly susceptible of any rigid definition. Religion is certainly a matter of faith with individuals or communities and it is not necessarily theistic. Religion undoubtedly has its basis in a system of beliefs or doctrines which are regarded by those who profess that religion conducive to their spiritual well being.

OFFENCE U/s 498-A, 294, 34 IPC (45 of 1860).

CRIMINAL REVISION UNDER SECTION 397 OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1974.


Being aggreived by the Judgement and Order dated 19.11.2005 passed by the  Learned Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class, P. O.- Mr.     Sagar, in Criminal Case No. 300 / 2005 in the matter of the state of Madhya Pradesh v/s Ajeet Prakash & Ors.the applicants named above most humbly and respectfully beg to prefer this revision petition on following facts and grounds amongest the others:

FACTS OF THE CASE

1.      The applicants are the husband, parents-in-law and sisters-in-law of the complainant Mrs. Vijaya Shrivastava. The gist of the allegation of the complainant, Mrs. Vijaya Shrivastava is that on account of dowry demands, she had been mal-treated and humiliated not only in the house of the in-laws at Jabalpur but as a consequence of such events, the husband of the complainant had also demanded dowry at Kolkata and had also assaulted her.

2.      The applicants contended before the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Sagar that the criminal case was not maintainable before the said learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Sagar because the cause of action took place only at Jabalpur and Kolkata which was outside the territorial jurisdiction of the learned Magistrate at Sagar. A prayer was also made to quash the summons issued by the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Sagar.

3.      The applicants have submitted that it will be evident from the FIR that the complainant has alleged that she had been subjected to cruel treatment persistently at Jabalpur and also at Kolkata and incident taking place at Sagar  is not an isolated event, but consequential to the series of incidents taking place at Jabalpur.


"498A. Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty. - Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

Explanation - For the purposes of this section "cruelty" means :

(a) Any wilful conduct which is of such a nature as is likely to drive the woman to commit suicide or to cause grave injury or danger to life, limb or health (whether mental or physical) of the woman or

(b) harassment of the woman where such harassment is with a view to coercing her or any person related to her to meet any unlawful demand for any property or valuable security or is on account of failure by her or any person related to her to meet such demand."

hence this revision petition is on following grounds;

a. the impugned order, if allowed to continue would ocsassion failure of justice

b. the learned trial court failed to exercise power vested under the leaw.

c. the impungned is perverse, malafide, not sustainble in law.

d. the learned trial erred in not only on the point of facts but on the point of Law.

e. the lerned trial Court did not consided the material facts availabel on the record. even the avrements made in the objection have not been dealt in their proper perspective.


PRYER

It is therefore most humbly and respectfully prayed that the impugned Judgement and Order dated 19.11.2005 passed by the  Learned Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class, P. O.- Mr.          Sagar, in Criminal Case No. 300 / 2005 in the matter of the state of Madhya Pradesh v/s Ajeet Prakash & Ors. may kindly be quashed in the larger interst of justice with costs throughout.

Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme
Launched on 2nd October 1975, today, ICDS Scheme represents one of the world's largest and most unique programmes for early childhood development. ICDS is the foremost symbol of India's commitment to her children – India's response to the challenge of providing pre-school education on one hand and breaking the vicious cycle of malnutrition, morbidity, reduced learning capacity and mortality, on the other.
Objectives
The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme was launched in 1975 with the following objectives:
(i)to improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years
(ii)  to lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child
(iii)  to reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropout
(iv)  to achieve effective co-ordination of policy and implementation amongst the various departments to promote child development
(v)  to enhance the capability of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and health education.
Services
The above objectives are sought to be achieved through a package of services comprising
(i) supplementary nutrition.
(ii) immunization.
(iii) health check-up .
(iv) referral services.
(v) pre-school non-formal education and .
(vi) nutrition & health education.
The concept of providing a package of services is based primarily on the consideration that the overall impact will be much larger if the different services develop in an integrated manner as the efficacy of a particular service depends upon the support it receives from related services.

Copy of the appointment order dated 08.03.2004 is filed herewith and marked as Annexure P-12. Thereafter the petitioner was removed from the service by using capricious, colorable exercise of power and arbitrarily. Hence this petition on following grounds amongst the others


6.  Grounds urged :

A.   For that, The issue as raised herein as to whether the petitioner, a anganwadi worker, has a right to serve beyond 60 years of age, is no more res-integra and has been settled at rest by the decision in W. P. No. 13320 of 2009(s) (Smt. Santosh Dubey v. State of Madhya Pradesh and others) and bunch of petitions by order dated 04-03-2010 wherein it was held :-

"13. The Ministry of Woman and Child Development Department of the State Government issued instructions on 27.5.2006 which lays down therein the service conditions of the Anganwadi Workers and Sahayika. The circular issued on 27.5.2006 was in supersession of the earlier instructions issued on 29.1.2001, 2.3.2002, 27.5.1996 and 12.9.2002. Under the said instructions the State Government laid down the criteria for appointment of Anganwadi Worker/Sahayika, preference for their appointment, procedure for selection and appointment, procedure for their removal on the post of Anganwadi Worker/Sahayika. Clause B-5 deals with removal of Anganwadi Sahayika. As per clause-D, the services of Anganwadi Worker/ Sahayika will be terminated on their attaining the age of 60 years after giving one month's notice to them by the Project Officer. As per ICDS Scheme which deals with the functions and responsibilities and its implementation was left to the State Government and the State Government in pursuance thereto issue instructions and, therefore, it cannot be said that the State Government is not competent to remove them on their attaining the age of 60 years. As per the said instructions/policy, the services of the petitioners can be discontinued after their attaining the age of 60 years. The said instructions was also superseded by the Ministry of Woman and Child Development Department of Government of Madhya Pradesh by its instruction dated 10.7.2007. As per instructions dated 10.7.2007, the services of Anganwadi Worker/Sahayika shall be discontinued on attaining the age of 60 years.

B.   For that, The circular dated 27.8.2003 was issued by the Directorate of Woman and Child Development as at the relevant time the State Government did not fix the maximum age of remaining in the job for Anganwadi Worker/Sahayika. The aforesaid order merely conveys that Anganwadi Worker/Sahayika can function even beyond the age of 58 years subject to assessment of their physical efficiency and, therefore, all the petitioners and other similarly situated Anganwadi Workers/Sahayika were allowed to function beyond the age of 58 years. Thereafter, the State Government issued a policy dated 27.5.2006 and 10.7.2007, wherein it is very specifically stipulated that the Anganwadi Worker and Sahayika shall be automatically discontinued on attaining the age of 60 years.

C.   For that, The posts of Anganwadi Workers are not statutory posts. They have been created in terms of the scheme. It is one thing to say that there exists a relationship of employer and employee by and between the State and Anganwadi Workers but it is another thing to say that they are holders of civil posts.

D.  For that, As per circular dated 10.7.2007 issued by the State Government, retirement age of Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and Anganwadi Helpers is 60 years. They being honorary workers, are paid monthly honorarium decided by the Government from time to time. The guidelines/policy framed by the State Government which authorized the State Government to appoint them and take disciplinary action and also terminate their services are applicable to them and it cannot be said that they cannot be retired after completing the age of 60 years without any appraisal to their efficiency as required by the instructions of Government of India dated 15.6.1988.

E.   For that, The association of the petitioner also challenged the action of respondents by filing W.P. No. 10888/2009(PIL) (Anganwadi Karyakarta Avam Sahayika Akta Union vs. State of M.P. and others) in which this court rejected the prayer of interim relief and observed that in case of success the members of the petitioner's union shall be entitled to all consequential benefits.

7.   Relief Prayed for :

(a)           That the Hon’ble High court shall be pleased to call for the entire original record of lis for its kind perusal.

(b)           That the Hon’ble High Court shall be pleased to issue suitable writ or direction to the respondent authorities to re-instate back the petitioner with all consequential benefits.


(c)               Cost of this petition be also awarded in favour of the petitioner.


Any other relief deemed fit and proper looking to the facts and circumstances of the case may also be granted.

8.  Interim Order / Writ, if prayed for :


In view of the facts and circumstance of the case during pendency of instant writ petition the respondent authorities be directed to maintain status quo in respect of services of petitioner, in the larger interest of justice.

9.  Documents relied on but not in possession of the petitioner :

All the relevant material and original records in relation to subject matter in dispute is lying with respondent authorities which my kindly be requisitioned by the Hon’ble High Court for its kind perusal.

10.                     Caveat :

That, no notice of lodging a caveat by the opposite party is received.
