Ghaziabad: A political controversy has erupted in Uttar Pradesh after Samajwadi Party (SP) spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati accused the recently discussed film ‘Dhurandhar’ of promoting hatred against Pakistan.

Allahabad High Court Denies Maintenance to Wife for Suppressing Employment and Income

Prayagraj: In a significant ruling, the Allahabad High Court has held that a wife who is financially independent and deliberately conceals her employment and income from the court is not entitled to maintenance and deserves no judicial sympathy. The court observed that a woman who is capable of maintaining herself cannot seek financial support from her husband by misleading the judiciary. Suppression of material facts, particularly regarding employment and earnings, amounts to abuse of the legal process. Maintenance Claim Rejected Under CrPC Section 125 Justice Madanpal Singh, while allowing a criminal revision petition filed by the husband, set aside the Family Court’s earlier order that had directed him to pay maintenance. The High Court ruled that under Section 125 of the Crimi...

Is a Major Shake-Up Coming in Congress Ahead of UP 2027 Elections? Key Strategy Meet Held in Delhi Under Priyanka Gandhi’s Leadership

Lucknow: The political buzz around the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections is gaining momentum much earlier than expected. The Congress Party has intensified its preparations and held an important meeting in Delhi, led by Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, signaling a possible major organisational overhaul ahead of the crucial polls. Although party leaders maintained that the meeting was primarily focused on preparations for the December 14 anti-SIR rally at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, political observers believe the closed-door discussions indicate Congress’s growing strategic activity with an eye on 2027. Why UP Remains Central to National Politics For decades, political analysts have reiterated that “the road to Delhi passes through Uttar Pradesh.” The 2027 Assembly elections wil...
