Supreme Court junks plea seeking registration of live-in relationships
The Supreme Court on Monday junked a plea seeking registration of live-in relationships in the country with the Centre, calling it a “hare-brained” idea.
The Supreme Court on Monday junked a plea seeking registration of live-in relationships in the country with the Centre, calling it a “hare-brained” idea.
Irked at the idea, Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud who headed the bench that heard the petition reprimanded the petitioner Advocate Mamta Rani, asking her if she wanted to foster the security of these people or wanted them not to get into live-in relationships.
Advocate Rani in her reply said told the bench, also comprising Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala, that registering these relationships would lead to enhanced social security for those couples.
Annoyed at such a ludicrous proposal, CJI Chandrachud asked the petitioner what does the Centre have to do live-in relationships?… “What does the Centre have to do with registration of live-in relationships? What kind of hare-brained idea is this? It is high time this court start imposing cost on petitioners who file these kinds of PILs. People come here with anything nowadays Dismissed.”

The plea was seeking the top court’s direction to the Centre to frame rules for registration of live-in relationships, citing the recent surge in grotesque murders, especially the Shraddha Walkar case, committed by live-in partners.
Referring to the gruesome murder of Shraddha Walkar, allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala, the PIL also sought framing of rules and guidelines for registration of such relationships
It argued that registration of live-in relationships would lead to accurate information like marital status, criminal history and other relevant details, being available not only to both the live-in partners about but also to the government which would lead to enhanced security for both of the partners.
The plea also argued that besides increase in crimes like rape and murder, there has been a “huge increase in false rape cases filed by women wherein they claim to be living in live-in relationships with the accused, and it is always difficult for the courts to find out from the evidence whether the fact of living in live-in relationships is proved by the backing of evidence.”

PM Modi questions Rahul Gandhi’s silence over Adani, Ambani, asks what’s the deal?
PM Modi said he wanted to ask from the land of Telangana that how much has the prince taken from Ambani and Adani this election. How many bags of black money has Rahul Gandhi got?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a rally in Telangana’s Karimnagar on Wednesday, asked Rahul Gandhi’s deals with businessmen Adani and Ambani and asked why he had stopped abusing them just before the beginning of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi also asked if Gandhi had received huge sums of money from Ambani and Adani as he had stopped attacking them suddenly.
The prime minister pointed out that Congress’s shehzada (prince), for the past five years, has been chanting as soon as he woke up in the morning. Ever since his Rafale issue got grounded, he started a new chant. For five years, he was chanting – 5 businessmen, 5 businessmen. Then he started saying Ambani, Adani, Ambani, Adani. But ever since elections have been announced, he has stopped abusing Ambani, Adani.
PM Modi said he wanted to ask from the land of Telangana that how much has the prince taken from Ambani, Adani this election. How many bags of black money has Rahul Gandhi got? He took a dig at the Congress leader and asked him if a tempo filled with notes reached for the Congress?
What deal has been made that Rahul Gandhi had stopped abusing Ambani-Adani overnight. For five years the Congress leader has been abusing Ambani, Adani and it has stopped overnight. The prime minister said this means Rahul Gandhi must have got something. He said the Congress leader will have to answer to the people of the country on this.
In his Telangana rally, the PM Modi said Gandhi has a habit of sparking controversies in election season and recounted how he had taken up the issue of alleged corruption in the Rafale aircraft deal ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
The Prime Minister’s counter strike is significant because Gandhi has repeatedly accused the Modi government of favouring top industrialists. The Congress leader has also said that while the BJP government has made 22 Indians billionaires, the Congress aims to make crores of people lakhpati if it comes to power in the ongoing Lok sabha elections.
