"Give me 50 yrs in jail, but not death": Hanif Sayeed, the man found guilty of killing 52 people in twin blasts case, has understood the value of life. During arguments in court on Tuesday, over whether he should be hanged or given life imprisonment for his role in the terror attack, his lawyer said that Syed was ready to spend the rest of his days behind bars without ever asking for release on parole, provided he was not given the death sentence - Of course he will ask for life sentence for he knows that his terrorist friends will hold hostages and ask him to be released. I am not a great votary of Capital Punishment, and agree with our Judicial system that it has to be administered only in the event of rarest of rare cases. But, mindless killing of 52 innocents without rhyme or reason do come under this category. A person who blasts 52 innocents to pieces do not deserve any sympathy.
Kicking daughter-in-law or divorce threat not cruelty: SC - A husband and his relatives cannot be prosecuted for “cruelty” towards wife merely because the mother-in-law or other family members had kicked her or for that matter threatened her with divorce, the Supreme Court has held. Similarly, if a mother-in-law gives constant sermons to the daughter-in-law - or allegedly treats her shabbily by giving her used dress suits, it does not invite prosecution under Section 498A of the IPC, a bench of Justices S B Sinha and Cyriac Joseph said - I sense a business opportunity there. Anyone like to partner me for starting a 'Training Centre for Mother in Laws on how to harass Daughter in laws legally". We can make zillions. The Supreme Court has millions of cases pending and they have to come up with such ridiculous judgements. I am sure the honourable judges would have heard this case for at least the past 10 years. What a criminal waste!
