Maintenance Ka Kanoon: Har Baar Mard Hi Galat Nahi Hota!

Ma intenance Ka Kanoon: Har Baar Mard Hi Galat Nahi Hota! Explained by Advocate Prabal Bhandari A must-read for anyone navigating family law or fighting a maintenance case. In India, maintenance is often seen as a husband’s financial duty, especially after separation or divorce. But the reality is more nuanced—and the law, though empathetic to women, also acknowledges the rights and limitations of men . In my practice as an advocate, I’ve come across countless cases where men are forced to pay maintenance despite facing genuine hardships. So the question arises: Is a man always liable to pay maintenance? The answer is no — not always . Indian courts have clearly laid down instances where a man can be relieved of this obligation , provided he has substantial and honest reasons. Let’s break this down with clarity and support from landmark judgments. One of the key principles courts rely on is "sufficient cause" . In the case of C. Ali v. State of Kerala , the court observ...

When Justice Looks Beyond Quantity: A Thoughtful Bail Order in Davinder Singh’s Case

  When Justice Looks Beyond Quantity: A Thoughtful Bail Order in Davinder Singh’s Case By Advocate Prabal Bhandari In a significant bail ruling dated 5th May 2025 , the Punjab & Haryana High Court granted regular bail to Davinder Singh , who had been in jail for over a year and 23 days in connection with a drug case under the NDPS Act, 1985 .

The NDPS Act classifies such an amount as "commercial quantity" , which usually makes getting bail extremely difficult. However, Davinder was not driving the car. He was just sitting in the back seat. The Court's Re...

Janaki” and Judicial Wisdom: A Constitutional Lens on Artistic Freedom and CBFC's Role

Janaki” and Judicial Wisdom: A Constitutional Lens on Artistic Freedom and CBFC's Role By Advocate Prabal Bhandari www.prabalbhandari.com   In a moment that resonates with constitutional clarity and judicial maturity, the Kerala High Court reminded the nation this week that art is not to be shackled by arbitrary gatekeeping , especially not when the freedom of expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) is at stake. The matter in question arose from a legal challenge filed by M/s Cosmos Entertainments , the production house behind the upcoming Malayalam film “ JSK: Janaki v State of Kerala ” , starring Union Minister Suresh Gopi . The controversy? The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) allegedly raised informal objections to the use of the name “Janaki” —claiming it refers to Goddess Sita and could, therefore, hurt religious sentiments. This objection, as presented by the Deputy Solicitor General of India , was purportedly based on the CBFC's interpretation of...
