Legal Alert of the Day::A woman in a live-in relationship is not entitled to maintenance unless she fulfils certain parameters

Today Supreme Court has held that A woman in a live-in relationship is not entitled to maintenance unless she fulfils certain parameters, the Hon’ble also observed that merely spending weekends together or a one night stand would not make it a domestic relationship. Supreme Court lays down conditions for women seeking maintenance in live-in relationships.
A bench comprising Justices Markandey Katju and T S Thakur said that in order to get maintenance, a woman, even if not married, has to fulfil the following four requirements:
(1) The couple must hold themselves out to society as being akin to spouses
(2) They must be of legal age to marry
(3) They must be otherwise qualified to enter into a legal marriage including being unmarried
(4) They must have voluntarily cohabited and held themselves out to the world as being akin to spouses for a significant period of time.
"In our opinion, not all live-in relationships will amount to a relationship in the nature of marriage to get the benefit of the Act of 2005 (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act). To get such benefits the conditions mentioned by us above must be satisfied and this has to be proved by evidence.
"If a man has a 'keep' whom he maintains financially and uses mainly for sexual purpose and or as a servant, it would not in our opinion be a relationship in the
nature of marriage," the court said.
"No doubt the view we are taking would exclude many women who have had a live-in relationship from the benefit of the 2005 Act (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act) but then it is not for this court to legislate or amend the law. Parliament has used the expression 'relationship in the nature of marriage' and not 'live-in relationship'. The court in the garb of interpretation cannot change the language of the statute," the bench observed.

जज बनना चाहते हैं? कंप्यूटर भी सीखिए

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा है कि जजों को नियुक्ति के वक्त कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी होनी चाहिए और अगर कोई कैंडिडेट इस शर्त को पूरा करने में नाकाम रहता है तो उसे भर्ती से वंचित किया जा सकता है।
जस्टिस मुकुंदकम शर्मा और जस्टिस ए. आर. दवे की बेंच ने यह व्यवस्था सिविल जज बनने की इच्छा रखने वाले उम्मीदवार विजेंद्र कुमार वर्मा की याचिका को खारिज करते हुए दी। वर्मा ने अपनी याचिका में उत्तराखंड सरकार के उस फैसले को चुनौती दी थी,जिसमें उनकी उम्मीदवारी को इस आधार पर खारिज कर दिया गया कि वह कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी दिखाने में कामयाब नहीं रहे।
बेंच ने अपने फैसले में कहा कि यह समझा जाना चाहिए कि भारतीय जुडिशरी अदालतों के कारगर प्रबंधन के लिए ई-गवर्नेंस लागू करने के लिए कारगर कदम उठा रही है। निकट भविष्य में देश की सभी अदालतें कंप्यूटरीकृत की जाएंगी। उस संदर्भ में नए नियुक्त होने वाले जजों से उम्मीद की जाती है कि उन्हें कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी होगी। बेंच ने कहा कि जज बनने के लिए कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी होने की अनिवार्य शर्त की अनदेखी करना अनुचित होगा। इसलिए हमारी राय है कि कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी होने की अनिवार्य शर्त को हल्का नहीं किया जाना चाहिए।
वर्मा ने उत्तराखंड जुडिशल सर्विस के नियम आठ के तहत सिविल जजों की सीधी भर्ती के लिए योग्यता मानदंडों को चुनौती दी थी। उसमें लॉ की डिग्री के साथ हिंदी और कंप्यूटर की बुनियादी जानकारी होने की शर्त रखी गई थी।
