"Actor Sanjay Dutt to spend fourmore days in jail" - says MoS Home Ram Shinde

Despite passing a number of laws related to rape andcrime against women, the Indian Govt. held back onmaking marital rape a criminal offense. Turning a blindeye to the problems women face within the walls of theirhome, wont solve the problem. However the classicargument that govt presents is that a law against maritalrape will weaken the traditional family values in India.Should we hold onto those values or let the law take itscourse even if the offender comes from within the family?The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to entertaina PIL challenging a provision in the penal law which doesnot consider rape as the sexual intercourse of a man withhis wife who is a minor noting that a similar matter hasbeen junked by the apex court. A bench headed by ChiefJustice G Rohini and Justice RS Endlaw dismissed aswithdrawn the plea of an NGO highlighting the exceptionin Section 375 of the IPC which states that sexualintercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not beingunder 15 years of age, is not rape. "Similar matter hasbeen dismissed by the Supreme Court. We don't seeanything into this petition," the bench said after which theNGO withdrew its plea. Rit Foundation had submittedthat the exception in section 375 was brought by way ofthe Criminal Law Amendment Act of 2013, which wasenacted after the horrific gangrape case of December16, 2012. In its petition, it had claimed that the exceptionto Section 375 of the IPC was to the extent that it grantsimmunity to a husband by raping his own wife, who isabove age of 15 years, was unconstitutional. It submittedthat the exception was "unconstitutional and violative ofthe Right to Equality guaranteed to married women underArticle 14 of the Constitution as it decriminalises rapewhen the perpetrator is the lawfully wedded husband ofthe victim." It had said that even though the law made adistinction between married and unmarried woman in thiscase, the basis of distinction does not have any rationalnexus with the object sought to be achieved by the law,which is to protect women from sexual assault. Thepetition had also stated that marital rape has beencriminalised in almost all major common law jurisdictionsthroughout the world, including in the US, the UK, SouthAfrica and Canada. The Supreme Court Tuesday refusedto entertain a woman's plea to declare marital rape acriminal offence, saying it wasn't possible to order achange in the law for one person. A Delhi-based MNCexecutive had told the court that her husband repeatedlyresorted to sexual violence but she was helpless as maritalrape was not a crime in India. "You are espousing apersonal cause and not a public cause...This is anindividual case," a bench of justice AR Dave and justiceR Banumathi said, refusing to take up her plea. Thewoman had challenged the validity of an exception toSection 375 of the IPC that says sexual intercourse by aman with his wife, who is 15 or above, is not rape even ifit is without consent. The provision, the woman said,violated her fundamental right to life and liberty. As thebench was not inclined to entertain the petition, ColinGonsalves, who represented the woman, chose towithdraw it. "We would move the court again on theissue....may be through a women's organisation," thesenior advocate told. The petitioner alleged that she wasnot only subjected to dowry harassment, but also brutallyraped by the husband who pushed torch lights into her,causing grievous injuries.

SPORTS ROUNDUPICC WORLD CUP-2015 COUNT-DOWN

Duncan Fletcher in charge, Team India'smedia manager rubbishes rift rumoursThe Indian teammanagement on Wednesdaysought to deny a mediareport about chief coachDuncan Fletcher beingignored meetings and alsonot being kept in the loopabout team strategy. WithIndian team taking a day-offand players being left ontheir own to relax, therewere reports of team'ssupport staff led by TeamDirector Ravi Shastri havingan impromptu meeting at theteam hotel Langham withFletcher not informed aboutit.

I can only termthis as figment of imagination,"team's media manager DR RN Baba said when specifically

Zimbabwe hadthe Proteas reeling at 83 forfour before being put to thesword by a world recordfifth-wicket unbroken standof 256 between DavidMiller and JP Duminy. Theywere 214 for three and wellset to push on for the final15 overs in their chase of340 before losing a flurry of

wickets to be bowled outfor 277. "It was a bit of both,a confidence boost the waywe played, and obviouslyit's always disappointing toplay the way we did for 90overs but we didn't manageto finish off the last 10overs," Chigumbura toldreporters in Nelson. "Wetook a lot out of the gamewe played and hopefully wecan carry on with that form.Playing the first game gaveus the opportunity to try andcorrect where we wentwrong from the first one."The two days that we've

got, we tried to polish that,and yeah, we're nowlooking forward to the UAEgame," he said.

World Cup 2015: Before Indiamatch, Dale Steyn down with flu

South Africa’s fast bowlerDale Steyn missed trainingon Wednesday due to flu,but is expected to be fit forthe World Cup matchagainst India at the

game against hosts NewZealand. He was sufferingfrom a sore throat andblocked nose during theirWorld Cup opener againstZimbabwe, where hereturned with unimpressivefigures of one for 64 fromnine overs.

World Cup 2015: Sterner SouthAfrican test lies ahead for Indian attack

Though Team India wouldbe reasonably satisfied withthe performance of theirbowlers in the World Cupopener against Pakistan onSunday, sterner tests lieahead. Next up for India onSunday would be SouthAfrica, whose batting line-up can send a chill down thespine of any bowling unit. Toput things in perspective,captain Mahendra SinghDhoni has cautioned hisbowlers that they won'thave the luxury of defendinga 300-plus score everysingle time. "Yes, we wereable to post 300 this time.But we must realize that ifbowling first, we will have

to keep the oppositiondown to the range of 240-260 for the batsmen to havea realistic chance of chasingdown that target," Dhoni hadsaid after the victory overPakistan. Against Pakistan,Mohammed Shami grabbedfour wickets. Umesh Yadavand Mohit Sharma baggedtwo each while R Ashwinand Ravindra Jadeja alsochipped in with a wicketapiece. The performanceagainst Pakistan, however,was an exception. Indianbowling, of late, has been astudy in inconsistency. In thetri-series preceding theWorld Cup, India's bowlingattack looked very

unsettled. Stuart Binnystarted off with the new ballwhile Axar Patel was themain spinner. To be fair,Dhoni's experiment was dueto the injuries suffered byIshant Sharma,Bhuvneshwar Kumar andRavindra Jadeja. Ashwinwas kept on the sidelines.With every loss, as pressuregrew on the Indian captain,he chose to stress on theprocess. "What is moreimportant right now is theprocess than the result," wasDhoni's common refrainduring the post-match newsconferences during the tri-series. "We are making aneffort to win the matches. Butwe want to try out playerswho haven't had muchinternational exposure. Weare making an honest effortbut at the same time we areexecuting a plan and in thatprocess we sometimes losesome matches," was hisstandard reply. It was onlyin the second warm-upmatch against Afghanistan inAdelaide that Dhoni chose touse five frontline bowlers,leaving Binny and Bhuvi out.

World Cup 2015: Real Afghanistanneed to stand up, says coach

Afghanistan are at the WorldCup to compete for victoriesand simply did not give a trueaccount of themselves intheir defeat to Bangladeshon their tournament debut,coach Andy Moles said onWednesday. The thumping105-run loss was a hugedisappointment to theAfghans, whose meteoricrise to the top table ofinternational cricket over thelast 15 years has been a raregood news story from theirwar-torn country. Afterholding Bangladesh to arespectable 267 all out intheir 50 overs at ManukaOval, they lost their firstthree wickets for three runsin three overs and werefinally bowled out for 162."That isn't a true reflection

of how we play, but in anygame of cricket when you'rethree for three in one and ahalf overs, not many teams,if any teams come backfrom that," Moles told anews conference inCanberra. "The boys arevery proud in theirperformance, and theyknow that they haven't givena fair reflection today."We're in the shop windowhere, we haven't disgracedourselves but we got lost,we just didn't get out of theblocks tonight with the bat,we were in a fog," headded. "They bowled verywell and before we knewwhere we were, we wereone-two-three down andjust treading water." Cricketwas still the subject of a

Taliban ban in Afghanistanwhen Bangladesh madetheir World Cup debut in1999 but Moles said histeam had approached thefixture against one of the 10test-playing nations withhigh hopes. "We genuinelythought this was a game wecould have won tonight," hesaid. "I still believe that ifwe'd have applied ourselvesbetter, we would have givena better account ofourselves. "Take nothingaway from Bangladesh, theyplayed very well but wedidn't hit the heights weexpect of ourselves." Askedwhether nerves wereresponsible for the calamitousfolding of the top order,Moles said he would betalking to the batsmen abouttheir mental approach to thematch. "I really don't thinkthey were up for the fight fromball one," he said.Moles said his playersneeded to take the defeat "onthe chin" and pick themselvesup for their next match againstSri Lanka in Dunedin, NewZealand on Sunday.
