Landmark Judgments on Violence Against Women and Children from South Asia Landmark Judgments on Violence Against Women and Children from South Asia Supported by: South Asia Regional Initiative/Equity Support Program This Compilation of Judgments is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. Acknowledgement The Regional Action Forum on “Improving the Implementation of Laws Protecting Women and Children” is a platform of dedicated individuals/experts from government, civil society, the judiciary and academia from four countries – Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Supported by the SARI/Equity Program, the Forum members meet regularly to discuss and act upon common issues of importance for the region. Thus, the Forum membership agreed to undertake the compilation of progressive, precedent-setting judgments on violence against women and children from the four countries in the hope that this compilation would foster information sharing and replication of progressive judgments across the region for the benefit of women and children victims of violence. SARI/Equity acknowledges with gratitude the valuable contributions of the Regional Action Forum members, National Core Groups1 and Consultants in the selection of the judgments and in the preparation of synopses for each of them and of various other materials. Special thanks go to the Editor of the Publication, Ms.Aparna Bhat, Member of the Regional Action Forum and Advocate at the Supreme Court of India, who consolidated the contributions into the current publication. We sincerely hope that it will become an “easy reference book” for judges, prosecutors, lawyers and concerned individuals and contribute to the development of a progressive jurisprudence in the region. The AED-SARI/Equity Team 1 For the list of members of the Regional Action Forum and its National Core Groups please see the back page of this document. Table of Contents Page No. Preface I List of Judgments III Chapter I Court Hierarchy 1 Chapter II Trafficking and Commercial 13 Sexual Exploitation Chapter III Sexual Assault and Rape 81 Chapter IV Sexual Harassment at Workplace 349 Chapter V Child Abuse 391 Chapter VI Domestic Violence 475 Annexure Relevant provisions of laws Bangladesh 645 India 651 Nepal 661 Sri Lanka 671 Index of Key Words 677 PREFACE Violence against women and children has no boundaries, regional disparities or cultural constraints. While its nature, causes and circumstances may have a given cultural background, violence against women and children unfortunately exists throughout the world without exception. Attempts at addressing and combating violence against women and children have taken various forms including legislative interventions followed by judicial interpretations of the same. While the law and the legal system alone may not be sufficient to combat violence against women and children, in instances where cases are brought forward, the legal system needs to be well equipped to deal with each of those cases in a sensitive and expeditious manner. Laws are the reflection of a society’s needs at any particular time. They therefore change with the times. Likewise, the manner in which violence is being perpetrated changes in society. Therefore, the mechanisms that a society sets up to combat violence will have to take into account the varying ways in which violence is being perpetrated. Experience sharing about handling such cases can provide greater insights into solving similar cases and in understanding the different ways in which problems can be addressed and good practices be arrived at. Unfortunately, exercises of experience sharing for prosecutors and the judiciary have hardly ever been considered. The present publication is an attempt to document the best practices of the superior judiciary in four South Asian countries, namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. At the First Meeting of the Regional Action Forum on “Improving the Implementation of Laws Protecting Women and Children” held at Colombo in May 2004, it was the unanimous view of all those present that there was a strong need to pull together the most progressive judgments in the area of violence against women and to disseminate them widely amongst practitioners so that the rich jurisprudence that existed in this part of the globe be shared and made use of throughout the region. It was agreed by all that this exercise should be a positive one, using only key judgments that have long lasting Landmark Judgments on Violence Against Women and Children from South Asia I implications and can be referred to as case law beneficial for espousing the cause of women and children; and that the number of judgments should be limited to a maximum of 30 judgments per country - at the Supreme Court or High Court level. It was also strongly felt that such a compilation had to be updated regularly – for example every six months - and that the publication must be made freely available both in print and electronic form. Following that Colombo Meeting, a group of experts representing the four countries spearheaded the exercise of collecting judgments and preparing their synopses. Following that exercise the classification of the judgments under various categories was undertaken and the number of chapters decided. One of the challenges faced during the compilation process was the large number of judgments from the Indian Supreme Court compared to those of other countries. Given the mere geographic size of India and the number of cases filed, it is quite natural that more cases from India were available. In order to ensure equitable representation from all the four countries, only a select group of judgments from India has therefore been included here. During research, it was also noticed that there were some excellent judgements from certain district courts in Nepal. Even though these do not have any precedentiary value, as apparently they are being referred to in a large number of cases, it was decided to include them as well. This compilation is not completely reflective of the legal systems in the four countries since only reported judgments but no interim orders or “un-reported judgments” have been included. It is also possible that certain judgements which are widely used in certain regions have been inadvertantly not included.

  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

  • Names of Trains
    NAMES OF TRAINS Agniveena Express 2341/ 2342 Howrah – Asansol (ER Howrah division) In Bangla it means “The Fiery Lute”. This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India. Ahilyanagari Express 6325/ 6326 Indore – Thiruvananthapuram Central (SR Thiruvananthapuram division) Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795, ruled 1767-1795) also known as the Philosopher Queen was a Holkar dynasty Queen of the Malwa kingdom. She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory. Ahimsa Express 1095/ 1096 Ahmadabad – Pune (CR Pune division) The name is also sometimes given to 1087/ 1088 Veraval – Pune Express, 1089/ 1090 Jodhpur – Pune Express and 1091/ 1092 Bhuj – Pune Express, as all these trains are “derived” from 1095/ 1096. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to do no harm” (literally, the avoidance of violence or himsa). Ahimsa was one of the main principles which Gandhiji followed in his life. Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.

  • Railway Budget 2012-2013
    Budget 2012-2013 Speech of Dinesh Trivedi Minister of Railways March 14, 2012 Madam Speaker, 1. I rise to present the Railway Budget for 2012-13. 2. I consider it a great privilege for me to head the strong and vibrant railway family and present my maiden Railway Budget which is also the first year of the 12th Five Year Plan. I am grateful to the Hon'ble Prime Minister for his inspiring guidance and support in formulating the Budget. 3. I am also grateful to the Hon’ble Finance Minister and the UPA Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi for their support. It would not have been possible for me to present this budget had I not received the support and confidence of my party, All India Trinamool Congress, and its chairperson, Mamata Banerjee, to whom I shall always remain grateful. Above all, I am grateful to as it is only because of their blessings that I have been able to make it to this Parliament. , . 4. Madam Speaker, when I look at the list of illustrious leaders of this country who had donned the mantle of Indian Railways right from Sh. Asaf Ali to Sh. Lal Bahadur Shastri, to Sh. Jagjivan Ram ji, to Sh. Gulzari Lal Nanda, Sh. Kamalapati Tripathi, Sh. Madhu Dandavate to Mamata Banerjee, I find myself nowhere near their stature. But I have certainly tried to take lessons from the pages of history and from their contribution to this great institution. I am grateful to Mamata Banerjee for giving vision to railways in her Vision 2020 document, which has guided me immensely in framing the roadmap for carrying forward the task.

  • Rail Budget 2010-11
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2010-11 on 24th February 2010 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present my second Railway Budget of the present UPA Government, within a span of less than eight months. I deem it a privilege to present the Budget Estimates for the year 2010-11 to this august House. 2. I am grateful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for his wise counsel and his encouragement to me. I am obliged to my fellow colleagues in this House, all MPs, Chief Ministers and political representatives, Chambers of Commerce and the common people for bringing to me invaluable suggestions on new lines and projects. 3. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family - officers, staff, gangmen, each member who are working day and night. With their cooperation and support, I am presenting this Budget. 4. Madam, while formulating my proposals, which I shall discuss later, I had two considerations. First, I looked into the economic viability of the projects, in the conventional way of rate of returns, etc. Most of the projects proposed by me fall in this category. 5. But there was another consideration which I had to weigh while taking a decision and that consideration was social responsibility. Railways, being the lifeline of the Indian economy, has to provide connectivity to most parts of the country. Should commercial viability be the only criterion to judge this need of connectivity? Or, should social responsibility be an important consideration? I prefer the latter. Our objective is inclusive growth. Growth for all is not possible, if there is no connectivity.
