Now I am not a lawyer...but for the benefit of gays and eunuchs...I would have Fernandes plead guilty to 498A...and then assess those so benefitted...to pay for the cost of his noble sacrifice.. This could be the 'precedential act'...that many are searching for in the dark.. Elizabeth In a message dated 6/11/2009 8:51:29 P.M. India Standard Time, modera...@gaybombay.in writes:
Anand, has also been booked under section 498A of the IPC (cruelty against woman by relatives of husband), read with section 34 (common intention). “My client is not even the relative of the husband. How can he be charged under section 498A?” Fernandes’s counsel Avadhut Chimalkar said. “My client didn’t know that Anand was married.” Anand’s lawyer Vivek Kantawala said, “Section 498A is irrelevant in this case.” **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.
