'He Is 45, Has 2 Children & Wife To Support' : Allahabad HC Commutes Death Sentence Of Convict Who Killed Grandmother-In-Law Case title - Tarun Goel vs. State of U.P 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 424 Case citation : 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 424 The Allahabad High Court last week commuted the death sentence of a 45-year-old convict who killed his wife's grandmother with a screwdriver in 2022 to life imprisonment as it noted that he has two children and a wife to support and that it was not a "rarest of rare" case. While answering the death reference in negative, a bench of Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan and Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra observed thus: “…the finding of the trial court on order of sentence is modified as it is not a “rarest of rare” case, even though the accused has committed a grave offence of murder, therefore, we are of the opinion that the death penalty awarded to the appellant should be commuted to the life imprisonment.” Court Within Whose Jurisdiction First Wife Has Taken Up Permanent Residence Can Try Offences U/S 494/495 IPC: Allahabad HC Case title - Inder Alias Lala vs. State of U.P. and Another 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 425 Case citation: 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 425 The Allahabad High Court has ruled that the court within whose jurisdiction the first wife has taken up permanent residence after the commission of alleged offences punishable under Sections 494 and 495 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) can try those offences. A bench of Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery observed thus in view of the mandate of Section 182 (2)CrPC, which states that offences punishable under Sections 494 or 495 IPC can be inquired into or tried by a court within whose local jurisdiction the offence was committed, or where the offender last resided with their first spouse, or where the first spouse has taken up permanent residence after the offence.

Manisha Agrawal 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 426 [FIRST APPEAL No. - 181 of 2019] Citation: 2024 LiveLaw (AB) 426 The Allahabad High Court has held that a mere allegation of the wife ousting the husband from the matrimonial home is not sufficient to show 'desertion' by her under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Court held that the husband must show that he tried to return to the house. The bench comprising Chief Justice Arun Bhansali and Justice Vikas Budhwar held, “Except for making allegations that the respondent declared that she shall alone stay in the house, nothing has been indicated with regard to efforts made by the appellant to get back in the matrimonial home and in those circumstances, it cannot be said that there has been desertion on the part of respondent so as to bring the case within the ambit of Section 13(1)(i-b) of the Act.” ...
