CrPC

The Delhi High Court decision came in response to a plea challenging an arrest where reasons for detention were not communicated.

The Supreme Court ruled that a divorced Muslim woman can seek maintenance from her estranged husband under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).

The APCR Secretary also expressed profound concern over the alarming increase in communal violence, lynching incidents, and demolitions targeting the Muslim community across various regions of the country following the recent elections.

Earlier this week, the court dismissed Kavitha's interim bail application, considering her minor son's examination, citing her "active involvement" in the offense, including destruction of evidence and tampering with witnesses.

Let us tell you that there is a provision in Section 64 of CRPP that the summons cannot be accepted by the lady of the house on behalf of the summoned person.

Replacing the CrPC of 1973, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, mandates time-bound investigation, trial, and judgment within 30 days of argument completion.

Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Rajeshwar Singh has called for the introduction of a dedicated legal framework to address cases of disrespect towards religious texts.
