Using Cyberspace To Vent Out Anger By Travestying PM, Key Figures Abhorrent: Allahabad HC Asks Centre To Tackle The 'Menace' Case title - Niyaz Ahmad Khan v. State of U.P. and Another Case citation: 2022 LiveLaw (AB) 58 The High Court observed that the use of Cyberspace by some people to vent out their anger and frustration by travestying the Prime Minister, Key Figures holding the highest office in the country, or any other individual is abhorrent and it violates the right to reputation of others. The Bench of Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh observed thus while refusing to quash criminal proceedings including the charge sheet, cognizance and the summoning order passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sant Kabir Nagar against one Niyaz Ahmad Khan who allegedly shared morphed photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Facebook. 2. Wife Who Has Challenged Divorce Decree & Hasn't Accepted Permanent Alimony U/S 25 Hindu Marriage Act Can Seek Maintenance U/S125 CrPC: Allahabad HC Case Title: Tarun Pandit v. State of U.P. and Another Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (AB) 59 The High Court recently allowed the claim for maintenance of a wife under Section 125 of CrPC, despite the grant of divorce decree by the Family Court, while noting that an appeal against the said decree was pending before the Court and the same had not attained finality. Justice Syed Aftab Husain Rizvi discarded the husband's plea that a divorced wife cannot claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. It also rejected the argument that since the Family Court has awarded permanent alimony under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, no maintenance under CrPC can be awarded. It observed, "It is clear that as O.P. No. 2 (wife) has not accepted the amount of alimony as she has challenged the divorce decree in appeal and appeal is pending and in that circumstances she can not accept the amount of alimony. So it can not be said that she has sufficient financial resources as permanent alimony has been awarded to her. At present she has no source of income and financial support to maintain her and comes in the category of destitute." 3. S.406 CrPC| Appeal In Case Transferred To Sessions Court In Another State Lies Before HC Of Transferee State & Not Transferor State: Allahabad HC Case Title: Virendra Singh vs State Of U.P. Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (AB) 60 The High Court has held that once in exercise of its powers under Section 406 CrPC the Supreme Court transfers a case from the subordinate criminal court in one state to a subordinate criminal court in another state, any appeal against an order in the said case shall lie before the High Court in the transferee High Court. The bench of Justice Suneet Kumar and Justice Om Prakash Tripathi made this observation while dealing with a criminal appeal, wherein a preliminary objection was raised by the CBI that the appeal is not entertainable before Allahabad High Court as the cause of action arose in Rajasthan. 4.
