How this court enhanced compensation from Rs 5 lakh to 1 Crore
In a significant and precedent-setting judgment, the Sessions Court at Dindoshi (Borivali Division), Mumbai, delivered on May 5, 2025, granted ₹1 crore as compensation to a woman under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. This judgment marked a major enhancement from the ₹5 lakh compensation earlier awarded by the trial court, acknowledging over two decades of sustained abuse.
🔹 Background of the Case
The case involved cross-appeals:
- Criminal Appeal No. 16/2021 by the wife (complainant) seeking enhanced compensation and maintenance.
- Criminal Appeal No. 44/2021 by the husband, challenging the reliefs granted to his wife.
The couple had married in 1997 and had three children, including twin sons and a daughter. The wife filed a detailed complaint under the DV Act in 2018, alleging long-term physical, emotional, verbal, and economic violence at the hands of her husband and in-laws.
🔹 Allegations by the Wife
The complainant presented a compelling narrative of abuse:
- Physical violence during pregnancies, including being kicked in the stomach, leading to miscarriage and internal injuries.
- A brutal 2016 assault, where the husband allegedly smashed a glass table on her head, causing severe bleeding and hospitalization.
- Verbal humiliation and psychological torture, including threats, insults, and forced isolation from her family.
- Economic deprivation—the husband allegedly withheld money for household expenses, denied her and their daughter’s basic needs, and misused funds from their joint business.
- She was pressured to gift away her property and not allowed to benefit from her shares in the company.
- The continued abuse led to suicidal tendencies and mental health breakdowns, for which she received psychiatric treatment in 2011 and 2016.
🔹 Husband’s Defence
The husband denied all allegations and claimed:
- The wife was mentally unstable, abusive toward him and the children.
- He was in financial distress with liabilities over ₹9.72 crores.
- Alleged she misused business funds and fabricated false claims.
- Claimed the properties were in his father’s name and not his own.
However, he failed to produce any evidence or appear for cross-examination—this significantly weakened his case.
🔹 Key Evidence Presented by the Wife
- Affidavit by way of Evidence (Exh. 59) – A comprehensive, chronological record of abuse.
- Medical Records – Confirmed injuries from physical assaults, including the 2016 hospitalization.
- Police Complaint & FIR – Crime No. 524/2016 registered under Sections 326, 323, and 504 IPC.
- Counselling and Psychiatric Reports – Documented the mental toll of the violence.
- Financial Proofs – Showed control of household finances by husband and diversion of joint property benefits.
Her testimony remained unchallenged and unshaken, as the husband did not counter it with evidence or witnesses.
🔹 Court’s Findings
After careful analysis, the Sessions Court held:
- Domestic violence was proved against the husband (not in-laws).
- The wife’s evidence was credible, consistent, and fully supported by documents.
- Abuse met the definition under Section 3 of the DV Act (physical, verbal, emotional, economic).
- The court exercised powers under Section 22 of the DV Act, enhancing compensation based on:
- The gravity and longevity of abuse (20+ years).
- Documented mental trauma, depression, and medical suffering.
- Economic hardship, denial of matrimonial obligations, and impact on the minor daughter.
🔹 Final Orders by the Sessions Court
- Compensation: ₹1 crore (enhanced from ₹5 lakh)
- Monthly Maintenance:
- ₹1.5 lakh/month to the wife
- ₹1 lakh/month to the daughter
- Residence Rights: Wife and daughter granted the right to stay in the shared household; husband and family restrained from alienating the property.
- Protection Order: Husband barred from causing further violence or interference.
🔹 Legal Takeaways
- A detailed and consistent affidavit, supported by evidence, can prove domestic violence, even in complex long-term marriages.
- Compensation under Section 22 of the DV Act can reach substantial amounts if the abuse is severe, prolonged, and well-documented.
- Inaction by the respondent, especially failure to rebut allegations or submit evidence, strengthens the complainant’s case.
- This case highlights the judiciary’s increasing sensitivity toward emotional and economic violence, not just physical injuries.
📝 Conclusion
The Dindoshi Sessions Court’s judgment reinforces the principle that justice can prevail for survivors of long-standing domestic abuse, especially when they have the courage and documentation to speak up. The ₹1 crore compensation not only reflects the seriousness of the violence but also serves as a deterrent and a message of empowerment for others enduring similar suffering.

Your coffee habit could be linked to healthier aging, study finds

“Women who drank one to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day in their 50s were more likely to reach older age free from major chronic diseases and with good cognitive, physical, and mental health,” said lead study author Dr. Sarah Mahdavi, adjunct professor in the faculty of medicine and department of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto.
Researchers analyzed dietary data from more than 47,000 women who were part of the Nurses’ Health Study, according to the research released Monday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition in Orlando. The study was presented as an abstract, but a more in-depth manuscript of the investigation will be submitted for peer review in the coming months, Mahdavi said.
“In this study, we found that moderate caffeinated coffee consumption during midlife was associated with a higher likelihood of healthy aging 30 years later,” Mahdavi said.
It’s not just any caffeinated drink
The effects were found in caffeinated coffee in particular, according to the research. The same link was not found for tea or decaffeinated coffee — and drinking more cola or other caffeinated sodas was tied to a lower chance of healthy aging.
“This would imply that coffee in particular has health preserving or promoting effects,” said Dr. David Kao, Jacqueline Marie Schauble Leaffer Endowed Chair in Women’s Heart Disease and associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School in an email. “As with other studies, they also appear to have found that coffee has a particular benefit over other caffeinated drinks.”
That said, the research is high quality, added Kao, who was not involved in the research.
The study is also observational, meaning it is limited in its ability to examine direct cause and effect. The new research can only show that a behavior and an outcome are more likely to occur together.

There’s a ‘ghost hurricane’ in the forecast. It could help predict a real one
порно групповое жесток
A scary-looking weather forecast showing a hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast in the second half of June swirled around social media this week—but don’t panic.
It’s the season’s first “ghost hurricane.”
Similar hype plays out every hurricane season, especially at the beginning: A cherry-picked, worst-case-scenario model run goes viral, but more often than not, will never come to fruition.
Unofficially dubbed “ghost storms” or “ghost hurricanes,” these tropical systems regularly appear in weather models — computer simulations that help meteorologists forecast future conditions — but never seem to manifest in real life.
The model responsible this week was the Global Forecast System, also known as the GFS or American model, run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s one of many used by forecasters around the world.
All models have known biases or “quirks” where they tend to overpredict or underpredict certain things. The GFS is known to overpredict tropical storms and hurricanes in longer-term forecasts that look more than a week into the future, which leads to these false alarms. The GFS isn’t alone in this — all models struggle to accurately predict tropical activity that far in advance — but it is notorious for doing so.
For example, the GFS could spit out a prediction for a US hurricane landfall about 10 days from now, only to have that chance completely disappear as the forecast date draws closer. This can occur at any time of the year, but is most frequent during hurricane season — June through November.
It’s exactly what’s been happening over the past week as forecasters keep an eye out for the first storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
Why so many ghosts?
No weather forecast model is designed in the exact same way as another, and that’s why each can generate different results with similar data.
The reason the GFS has more false alarms when looking more than a week out than similar models – like Europe’s ECMWF, Canada’s CMC or the United Kingdom’s UKM – is because that’s exactly what it’s programmed to do, according to Alicia Bentley, the global verification project lead of NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center.
The GFS was built with a “weak parameterized cumulus convection scheme,” according to Bentley. In plain language, that means when the GFS thinks there could be thunderstorms developing in an area where tropical systems are possible – over the oceans – it’s more likely to jump to the conclusion that something tropical will develop than to ignore it.
Other models aren’t built to be quite as sensitive to this phenomenon, and so they don’t show a tropical system until they’re more confident the right conditions are in place, which usually happens when the forecast gets closer in time.
The western Caribbean Sea is one of the GFS’ favorite places to predict a ghost storm. That’s because of the Central American gyre: a large, disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms that rotates over the region and its surrounding water.
Elon Musk stood next to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, but the physical proximity belied a growing philosophical divide between two of the world’s most powerful men, resulting in the tech mogul’s abrupt announcement that he is departing Washington — without having achieved his goal of decimating the federal government.
[url=https://kra—33-at.ru]kra33.cc[/url]
Trump took a more charitable view of Musk’s tenure during a sprawling news conference in which he also declined to rule out pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is on trial on charges of sex trafficking and other alleged crimes; said he dislikes “the concept” of former first lady Jill Biden being forced to testify before Congress about her husband’s mental fitness; and predicted again that Iran is on the cusp of making a deal that would suspend its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
[url=https://kra-33-at.ru]РєСЂР°33[/url]
In a battle of plutocrats against populists, Bannon, a longtime advocate for reducing the size and scope of government, found Musk’s methods and policy preferences to be sharply at odds with those of the MAGA movement. So, ultimately, did Musk, who broke with Trump repeatedly on agenda items as narrow as limiting visas for foreign workers and as broad as Trump’s signature “big beautiful” budget bill — which Musk belittled for threatening to add trillions of dollars to the national debt.
“I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk said in an interview with CBS’ “Sunday Morning,” which will air this weekend.
[url=https://kra–33—at.ru]kra33 at[/url]
“I love the gold on the ceiling,” he said.
Musk has argued that inertia throttled his efforts to reduce government spending — a conclusion that raises questions about whether he was naive about the challenge of the mission he undertook.
“The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized,” he told The Washington Post this week. “I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in D.C., to say the least.”
On Friday, he drew an implicit parallel between American government and the Nazi regime that committed a genocide, invoking the “banality of evil” that Hannah Arendt used to describe the atrocities in Germany.

Les adherents du parti Les Republicains sont appeles a voter, samedi et dimanche, pour choisir leur futur president. Mais entre Bruno Retailleau et Laurent Wauquiez, peu de differences ideologiques existent : a l’image de ce qu’est devenu leur parti depuis 2017, tous deux font campagne a droite toute en misant sur les questions d’immigration et de securite.

Apres plusieurs semaines de campagne, difficile de savoir qui de Bruno Retailleau ou Laurent Wauquiez remportera la presidence du parti Les Republicains (LR). Les adherents du parti de droite sont invites a les departager, samedi 17 et dimanche 18 mai, pour choisir celui qui incarnera desormais LR, avec en toile de fond l’election presidentielle de 2027.
Mais comment choisir entre deux candidats presentant si peu de differences de ligne ideologique ? Bruno Retailleau et Laurent Wauquiez placent constamment l’immigration et la securite au centre de leurs discours. Si bien que pour exister face a un candidat-ministre devenu favori et omnipresent dans les medias, l’ancien president de la region Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes s’est senti oblige de jouer la surenchere en proposant, le 8 avril dans le JDNews, “que les etrangers dangereux sous OQTF [Obligation de quitter le territoire francais] soient enfermes dans un centre de retention a Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, hors de l’Hexagone”.

President Donald Trump wants to bring back American manufacturing in ways that would reshape the United States economy to look more like China’s. The campaign, which has led to a rapidly escalating trade war with China, has given ample social media fodder to Chinese and American observers alike.

Announcing a series of sweeping tariffs in a move dubbed “Liberation Day,” Trump said last week that it will lead factories to move production back to American shores, boosting the U.S. economy after “foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.”
[url=https://bls2web.at]bs2best at[/url]
In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump announced that he is raising tariffs on goods imported from China to 125%, up from the 104% that took effect the same day, due to “the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.” Higher targeted tariffs on other countries have been paused for 90 days, although the 10% baseline tariff will remain in place for all countries.

Meme-makers and Chinese government officials have in recent days begun pointing out the irony of Trump’s tariff-driven manufacturing pivot through AI-generated satire and political cartoons that have percolated online, with many American users boosting the jokes.
