Saying ‘I love you' without sexual intent not harassment: Bombay HC acquits man in teen harassment case; overrules lower court verdict
NAGPUR: Saying 'I love you' does not amount to sexual harassment unless accompanied by conduct suggesting sexual intent, Bombay high court's Nagpur bench ruled Monday while overturning a 2017 conviction under the Pocso Act . Justice Urmila JoshiPhalke acquitted a 25-yearold man from Katol in Nagpur district, nearly eight years after he was sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment for harassing a 17year-old girl. He appealed the session court verdict in HC and was out on bail. 'If somebody says that he is in love with another person or expresses his feelings that in itself would not amount to an intent showing some sort of sexual intention' the judge said in her order. 'Words expressed as 'I love you' would not by themselves amount to 'sexual intent' as contemplated by the legislature,' she added. The case dated back to Oct 2015, when a class 11 student accused the man of stopping her and her cousin , grabbing her hand and saying: 'I love you'. Based on her complaint, police charged him under sections 354A (sexual harassment) and 354D (stalking) of IPC, along with Section 8 of Pocso Act. Two years later, the sessions court convicted him. His counsel Sonali Khobragade said his actions did not meet the legal threshold for sexual assault or stalking as there was no repeated contact or physical act indicating sexual intent. Justice Joshi-Phalke agreed. 'There should be something more that must suggest the real intention is to introduce the angle of sex…,' she said. 'The offence under Pocso Act is not made out as there is no allegation that the accused touched the girl with sexual intent.'

Telangana factory blast: Most migrant workers from Bihar & Odisha; families say we're left alone in tragedy
HYDERABAD: Many workers from Bihar and Odisha were among those affected by Monday's explosion at Sigachi Industries in the Pashamylaram Industrial Area. Several of them shared stories of how many from their village came to Hyderabad in search of work. Mohd Zameer Alam, from Bihar's Bhojpur district, recalled how he had helped his uncle Tasabuddin from his village secure a job at Sigachi earlier this year. Tasabuddin is now missing, and Zameer distraught. "About 50-60 people from my village are working here, with about four to five in Sigachi. We worked in three shifts. The first shift included my mother-in-law, Ruksana Kathoon, who was identified as one of the deceased," Zameer said.

"But after such a hard journey, we are left alone in times of tragedy like this, with no support," he said, while waiting to receive Ruksana Kathoon's body and searching for Tasabuddin at the hospital mortuary. Debashish Sahu brought his relative Lagnajith Duari (22) from Cuttack in Odisha earlier this year to work as a machine cutting operator. Lagnajith has been confirmed dead in the incident. Just like Zameer, Sahu said many people from his district as well as from neighbouring ones have moved to Hyderabad to find jobs in factories. "There are no such jobs in our district," said Sahu. "People hear about places like these through word of mouth. Even though parents are afraid to send their children so far, they are forced to do so because they don't have any other choice."

Telangana HC raps police for settling civil disputes against court orders
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court on Tuesday pulled up the police for "settling" civil disputes despite court injunctions. It orally directed the DGP to ensure the SOPs on duties of cops are displayed at police stations and uploaded on the website for people's benefit. Justice Tadakamalla Vinod Kumar gave the direction while hearing a petition of Pamu Sudharshanam accusing Nagole police of forcing him to settle a civil dispute through registration of criminal cases. He said the police were asking him to pay 55 lakh to real estate agents for settling a dispute over his plot in Bandlaguda. Rachakonda commissioner G Sudheer Babu appeared via virtual mode and Nagole SHO appeared physically to explain their stand on allegations. The court, which prima facie concluded that the plot owner was detained in Nagole police station to settle the matter, directed cops to produce CCTV footage of the day.
