HC grants protection to teacher fearing harm from his family over relationship
New Delhi:
Delhi High Court
has stepped in to protect an economics teacher employed at a prominent city school after she filed a plea saying her family disapproves of the man she is in a relationship with and may harm the couple.
"The SHO concerned shall ensure that the requisite protection is given to the petitioner, and she is not harmed by any of her family members," Justice Manoj Jain ordered on Wednesday, allowing the woman's plea.
Noting that the woman is an adult, well-educated and claims to have voluntarily left her house, HC issued a notice to her family members and asked police to extend protection to the man, who is a lawyer and a member of the bar.

Seeking urgent intervention from the court, the teacher further expressed apprehension that she may be harmed en route to her school, which would reopen July 1, or when she returns to her current place of stay.
"The SHO concerned shall also ensure that requisite security arrangements are made for the aforementioned journey, so that she can attend the school without any kind of fear or apprehension," the court directed, while asking the DCP concerned to supervise the matter to ensure there is requisite protection for the petitioner and that no untoward incident of any kind happens to the couple.

Posting the matter for next month, the court sought a status report from police. The woman said that being a major, she is competent to contract marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and is in a healthy and voluntary relationship with her partner for many years. She, however, was forced to move to court as she apprehends strong opposition from her family members, who are against the relationship.

60yo man sent to jail for offering‘namaz' in temple complex in UP
Bareilly: A 60-year-old man was arrested under BNS section 298 -- "defiling a place of worship with intent to insult religion" -- and sent to jail on Sunday for allegedly offering 'namaz' inside a temple complex in Budaun. A widely circulated video of the man, identified as Ali Mohammad, purportedly praying in the religious premises has sparked outrage. The incident, which took place in Papad village under Dataganj limits, is said to be around two months old and it gained traction only after netizens started calling for his arrest. Dataganj circle officer KK Tiwari said, "An FIR has been registered against Ali. He has been arrested. Investigation has so far revealed that Ali was living for over two decades near the Brahmdev Maharaj temple complex. Someone recorded a video of him offering a prayer supposedly near a tree inside the premises and shared it online." Based on the clip, police have lodged an FIR and sent him to prison. The man's "provocative" action has angered a large section of the local population of the other community, police said. Meanwhile, Paratma Das, the temple's mahant, said, "Ali Mohammad had been visiting the temple complex for 35 years. He was also involved in cleaning and feeding cows, and even sometimes took part in 'aarti' and other rituals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo He looked disturbed of late, and I used to give him meals... But whatever he did here was wrong." According to locals, Ali lives separately from his family after his wife left him some time ago. When confronted for his action, he had apologised, and the matter was forgotten, until this video surfaced, a local resident added. On Sept 18, 2023, a similar incident took place in Kesarpura village in Bareilly, where a mother and daughter offered prayers inside a temple complex. A case was registered against them and they were sent to jail. After 15 days in prison, they were granted bail and released.
