PIONEER NEWS SERVICE LUCKNOW M ens groups are extreme- ly unhappy with the Justice Verma Committee report. In a chat with The Pioneer the founder member of the Daman group, Manuj Gupta, said on Tuesday that the presumption of guilt of a man, removal of the misuse clause for women and adding an additional section for matri- monial rape in additional to the already existing 15 laws for women in a matrimonial set- ting was something which they failed to understand as a mens organisation. He said that from the report it was clear that a hand- ful of womens groups were selectively invited for deposi- tion in front of the committee. Most of these groups invited are widely known for their aggressive anti-male approach to gender laws. The fact that not a single organisation work- ing for mens welfare was invit- ed shows the poor democratic values displayed by the com- mittee, said Gupta. He said that the punishment for misuse of sexual harassment at work- place had now been removed without any reason whatsoev- er. Also protection for men fromsexual harassment has not been included. The world over most of the countries have gender-neutral sexual harass- ment laws, a fact that this committee has ignored for rea- sons not known, he added. He said that the fact of false rape cases had not been inten- tionally addressed even as the media and police from various states report that false rapes constitute over 75 per cent to 90 per cent rapes in India. It is believed that the rape laws are misused even more than the IPC 498A by some studies. Gupta said that marital rape had been included as a duplicate section even though the DV Act (Section 3(ii)) was more than capable of address- ing these issues. This has been done just to duplicate another cruelty law to increase misuse against men with another anti-male matrimo- nial recommendation and is a clear violation as per the settled principles of Double Jeopardy. He said that these recom- mendations flout the basic principle for laying down the laws on India which ensure that the innocents would get pun- ished by the assumption of being guilty and would have to go through the grilling legal process without any fault of theirs. He said that the com- mittee had also not recom- mended any solution to the overwhelming majority of rape cases in India which were of consensual sex converted to rape later by the women when the relationship soured or mar- riage did not take place due to the fault of either of these par- ties. He said that a court in Delhi had recently ticked off a mother and daughter duo for habitually filing false rape cases for grabbing property. There were millions more like these who had filed false cases when jilted or with a hidden agenda, he added. The Justice Verma Committee has diluted Section 14 of the Sexual Harassment Bill and appears concerned that it is liable for misuse , while on the issue of 498 misuse which is widely documented the Law Commission noted that the misuse of a section was not a ground for removing it. Why are double standards being followed for men and women? he asked. He said that their demand was to make the rape law gen- der neutral as in other coun- tries of the globe with punish- ment for female sex offenders. They also demanded that rela- tionship and consensual cases should not be allowed to be converted into rape cases as it was insane to do so, that the matrimonial rape should be removed as it was a duplication of law and woulod be subject to heavy misuse, that sections like presumption of guilt, sup- pressing previous sexual behav- iour and any other section that interfered with the right to innocence of an accused and prevented himor her fromget- ting a fair and just trial should be scrapped , that false com- plaints of rape cases and sexu- al harassment should be pun- ished severely so that men were protected. They said that the need to introduce the much-required police reforms and judicial reforms was to ensure justice to all. Mens groups unhappy with Justice Verma report PIONEER NEWS SERVICE LUCKNOW R oshni from Ghaziabad was declared the states top milk producer for the year 2010-11 while Laxmi Devi also bagged the first prize in producing milk in the state for the year 2011-12. Both were honoured by the State Minister for Dairy Development, Ram Murti Verma, on Tuesday and given the Gokul Award. As many as 109 milk pro- ducers from across the state were given the Gokul Award in a programme organised by the State Cooperative Dairy Federation Limited, Lucknow, at the Ganna Sansthan here. Bitana Devi of Lucknow made a double hat-trick by winning the award of the best milk producer in the city. Rammani was declared the most successful milk produc- er during both the years in eastern UP. Roshni is a member of the Penga Mahila Dairy Samiti. She bagged the first prize for pro- ducing 72,154 litres of milk in the year 2010-11. Similarly Laxmi Devi, a native of Ghaziabad, is a member of the Kanakpur Mahila Dairy Samiti. She bagged the first prize for 2011-12. Bitana Devi, a resident of Lucknow, received the first prize consecutively for the sixth time for maximum milk pro- duction in the entire city. Addressing the milk pro- ducers along with the officials of the department concerned RamMurti Verma said that out of the 97,941 villages of the state the dairy committees were present in 12,160 villages. The dairy industry was being con- sidered as an important mode of self-employment. The state government had adopted a more liberal outlook in its budget for the social and economic development of eco- nomically weak milk produc- ers. Three non-functioning milk federations of the state (Agra, Mathura, Fatehpur) were reopened. The new dairy establishment in Kannauj and Azamgarh is also in the offing under the National Dairy Plan (NDP). The Milk Federation, Lucknow, has been given Rs 6 crore under the NDP whereas the Milk Federation, Kanpur, was given a financial assistance of Rs 1.5 crore to pay the dues of the milk producers, he revealed. HUJJAT RAZA LUCKNOW T he passengers of the Lucknow-Delhi Swarna Shatabdi Express will have to face hardships as the railway has not made any plan to increase the number of rakes in them. At present the train is dependent on only one rake. It may be pointed out here as only one rake was available it was used between Lucknow and Delhi and there was no other pair of this train. In the recent foggy weath- er the train on several occasions arrived late at Lucknow. As a result it left behind its sched- uled time. Had there been another pair the passengers would not have to wait for the arrival of the same train again. Earlier the situation was somewhat similar with the Lucknow-Delhi Gomti Express but after some time a new pair of trains was started after which the train used to leave from Delhi or Lucknow on time despite the fact that the arriving pair was running late. But the Railways has no plan for adding another rake to the Shatabdi Express. We have no plans for run- ning the pair of Shatabdi Express so far, said Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Northern Railway, Neeraj Sharma.

Pioneer Roshni, Laxmi bag Gokul Award for topping in milk production Plea to make anti-dowry law more stringent PIONEER NEWS SERVICE LUCKNOW J ustice Bhanwar Singh, Chairman, Judicial Training and Research Institute (JTRI), UP, said on Tuesday that the Anti-dowry law should be made more stringent. He was speaking during the second phase of the five- day-long refresher training programme for civil judges (Senior Division) of UP going on at the JTRI under the 13th Finance Commission Scheme. A group discussion was organised on Tuesday on the topic, Offences against women: Legal and social fallout - role of judiciary.. Justice Singh discussed at length the offences against women pertaining to dowry. Throwing light on how the tradition of dowry got into place, he said that in ancient time lovable gifts were given to both the bride and groom at the time of marriage. But as time passed these gifts were taken for granted and demands for them were made. In due course of time they took the shape of dowry, he said. And then harassment of women took place when the expectations were not fulfilled. Citing several cases, he opined that the law should be made more stringent. The aim of the sentence was not only to create fear in the minds of the offenders but to provide a safe and secure life to the women of the country too, he said. Justice Vishnu Sahai while expressing his views said that the main factors which led to offences against women were lack of decency and lack of thought. He also said that since most of the crimes against women were committed by youths the age of a juvenile should be reduced to 16 years. Prof BB Pandey, former professor of law, Delhi University said that there were many kinds of discrimination which our society was facing. The concept of equality should be established in right earnest. The Criminal Procedure Code provided enormous power to the judges but an attitudinal change was needed, he said. Justice hurried is justice worried but justice should be imparted within time and there should be an idea to deliver jus- tice, he said. Udai Shankar Awasthi, Director of the JTRI, also expressed concern over the harassment of women on account of dowry. Passengers of Swarna Shatabdi Exp may have to face hardships Earlier, the Shatabdi Express used to run between New Delhi and Kanpur but it was later extended till Lucknow and halts at Aligarh were added.
