Allahabad HC issues notice to PCS officer Jyoti Maurya on husband's plea seeking maintenance
In his petition before the high court, Alok Maurya has said that his estranged wife is an administrative officer while he is doing a meagre government job and also suffering from several ailments. Therefore, he is entitled for maintenance from her, the plea said. Hearing the plea filed by Alok Kumar Maurya, a sanitation worker, a division bench comprising Justices Arindam Sinha and Dr Yogendra Kumar Srivastava fixed August 8 for the next fate of hearing in the case. Prayagraj, Jul 13 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court has issued notice to PCS officer Jyoti Maurya on a petition filed by her estranged husband challenging a family court's order rejecting his application for maintenance from his wife. During the course of hearing, the counsel for the appellant-husband submitted before the court that he is aggrieved by judgment dated January 4, 2025 of the family court, Prayagraj dismissing his application for maintenance. The counsel argued that respondent-wife Jyoti Maurya is an administrative officer, while the petitioner has a low-paying government job and is suffering from several ailments. However, as the appeal was filed after a delay of 77 days, an application was also made for condonation of delay on behalf of the husband. The court issued a notice to Jyoti Maurya on the applications to condone the delay in filing appeal. In its order dated July 3, the court also directed the petitioner to file an English translation of the family court's impugned judgment dated January 4, 2025. It is relevant to mention that Jyoti Maurya has filed a petition at the family court, Prayagraj seeking divorce from Alok Maurya, a 'safai karmachari'. During the pendency of the divorce petition, Alok Maurya filed an application in the family court for maintenance under section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which was rejected on January 4, 2025. Hence he filed the present first appeal before the high court. Alok Maurya was appointed as safai karmachari in the Panchayati Raj department in 2009. Thereafter, he got married with Jyoti Maurya in 2010. According to Alok Maurya, he made all possible arrangements for the study of his wife at Prayagraj. However, he alleged that after clearing the PCS examination, when she was appointed as SDM in 2015, her (Jyoti's) attitude changed towards him and his family members.

Tibet issue a thorn in ties with India, says Chinese envoy
File photo: Dalai Lama (AP) NEW DELHI: The Tibet-related issue is a thorn in the China-India relationship, becoming a burden for India, and playing the "Xizang card" will definitely "end up shooting oneself in the foot", said the Chinese embassy spokesperson here taking note of recent remarks by members of the Indian strategic and academic communities. China had earlier formally registered a protest with India over PM Narendra Modi's birthday greetings to the Dalai Lama and remarks by Union minister Kiren Rijiju that the Tibetan spiritual leader's successor would be decided by his Trust alone. Rijiju had later clarified that he had not spoken on behalf of the Indian government. Spokesperson Yu Jing said on X the Indian government has made political commitments to China, recognising that Xizang Autonomous Region is part of the territory of the People's Republic of China, and that India does not allow Tibetans to engage in political activities against China in India. The controversy over the Dalai Lama's announcement that China will have no role in his reincarnation has erupted at a time both countries are engaged in efforts to normalise the relationship after a protracted military standoff. External affairs minister S Jaishankar is expected to arrive in China Monday for his first visit there in six years.
