Q: Explicate the citation of Shalija & Ors. Vs. Khobbanna ?

Ans: In the case titled Shalija & Ors. Vs. Khobbanna , the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that ‘capable of earning’ and ‘actually earning’ are two different concepts and merely because the wife is capable to earn money doesn’t give sufficient reason to the court to reduce the maintenance awarded to her. Here, the Hon’ble Court clearly held that the qualification of the wife per se doesn’t create any barriers for the wives to seek maintenance from their husbands.

Q: Discuss citation under Section 139 of negotiable instrument act ?

Ans: Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act The Section 139 states that it will be presumed unless the contrary is proved, that the payee received the cheque of the nature referred in Section 138 for the discharge, in wholly or partly, of any debt or any liability.  This presumption is no doubt rebuttable by the accused, by ‘preponderance of probabilities’. So, if the accused can establish a probable defence, that creates a reasonable doubt about the existence of a legally enforceable debt or liability, then the prosecution would fail and the accused can do so by only using the materials or evidence presented by the prosecution and in many cases an accused did not need to present another or own evidence.

Q: Explain the citation of Delhi District Court on Smt. Krishna Dhawan vs State ( Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi) on 22 November, 2010 ?

Ans: Delhi District Court on Smt. Krishna Dhawan vs State ( Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi) on 22 November, 2010 - In the present case, the applicant has failed to prove on record any justifiable ground for leaving the company of her husband respondent except that she stated that she has been ill illtreated for the last 20 to 23 years but in her cross examination she herself has admitted that there was no demand of dowry by the respondent at the time of marriage or after the marriage.

MM has rightly held that applicant is not entitled for any maintenance. Ld. MM has rightly held that applicant is unable to maintain herself and there is no document filed on record by the respondent also to show that applicant is working or is able to maintain hers...
