'Married woman cannot allege rape by live-in partner on false pretext of marriage'

The court emphasized that while adults have the right to choose their relationships, they should be aware of the consequences involved.

A woman who is already married to someone else cannot claim to have been induced into a sexual relationship under the false pretext of marriage, the Delhi High Court has said while quashing a rape case against a man, also married, by his live-in partner.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, in an order released on Thursday, noted the case involved two individuals who were both ineligible to lawfully marry each other but were living together pursuant to a "live-in relationship agreement", and the protection and remedies available under Section 376 (punishment for rape) of the Indian Penal Code cannot be extended to such a "victim".
The judge observed that a live-in relationship between two consenting adults, who are married to different partners, has not been made a criminal offence, and while the parties have the right to determine their own choices, both men and women should "remain conscious of the repercussions" of such a relationship.

India asks Canada to reduce diplomatic presence, cites 'interference in internal affairs'

India has asked Canada to reduce their diplomatic presence citing "interference in diplomatic affairs".

India has asked Canada to reduce their diplomatic presence citing "interference in internal affairs".

The Indian government said that it has asked Canada to downsize its diplomatic presence in India.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs cited the "interference of Canadian diplomats in Indian affairs" as a factor behind the move.
"The Canadian diplomatic presence in India is larger than what India has and accordingly needs to be downsized," foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi told reporters.
"We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity in diplomatic presence. Their numbers are very much higher than ours in Canada... I assume there will be a reduction," he said.
This comes amid the tensions over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Canada was intercepting communications between Indian diplomats and that led to allegations that India was involved in killing of Khalistani leader Hardee Singh Nijjar, according to AP. 

Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing | Canada's allegations based on surveillance of Indian diplomats: reports

Canada was intercepting communications between Indian diplomats and that led to allegations that India was involved in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardee Singh Nijjar, according to AP.&nbsp;

The allegation of India's involvement in the killing of a Sikh Canadian is based on surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada, including intelligence provided by a major ally, a Canadian official familiar with the matter has told The Associated Press.
The official said on Thursday that the communications involved Indian officials and Indian diplomats in Canada and that some of the intelligence was provided by a member of the "Five Eyes" intelligence-sharing alliance, which in addition to Canada includes the US, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly, did not say which ally provided intelligence or give specific details of what was contained in the communications or how they were obtained.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation first reported details of the intelligence.
Earlier Thursday, India told Canada to reduce its diplomatic staff and stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens as a rift widened between the once-close allies over Ottawa's allegation that New Delhi may have been involved in the killing of the Canadian citizen.
Ties between the two countries &mdash; key strategic partners in security and trade &mdash; have plunged to their lowest point in years since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were "credible allegations" of Indian involvement in the assassination of the Sikh separatist activist in June in a Vancouver suburb.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a 45-year-old Canadian citizen who had been wanted by India for years, was gunned down outside the temple he led in the city of Surrey. Nijjar, a plumber, was born in India but became a Canadian citizen in 2007.
Speaking on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Trudeau acknowledged the complicated diplomatic situation he faced.
"There is no question that India is a country of growing importance and a country that we need to continue to work with," he said. "We are not looking to provoke or cause problems but we are unequivocal around the importance of the rule of law and unequivocal about the importance of protecting Canadians." The bombshell Monday allegation by Trudeau set off an international tit-for-tat, with each country expelling a diplomat. India called the allegations "absurd".
Canada has yet to provide any public evidence to back Trudeau's allegations, and Canada's UN ambassador, Bob Rae, indicated Thursday that it might not come very soon. "This is very early days," Rae told reporters at the United Nations, insisting that while facts will emerge, they must "come out in the course of the pursuit of justice".
"That's what we call the rule of law in Canada," he said.
On Thursday, the company that processes Indian visas in Canada announced that visa services had been suspended until further notice. The BLS Indian Visa Application Centre gave no further details.
The suspension means Canadians who don't already have visas will not be able to travel to India until services resume. Canadians are among the top travellers to India. In 2021, 80,000 Canadian tourists visited the country, according to India's Bureau of Immigration.
Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi blamed the visa suspension, which includes visas issued in third countries, on safety issues.
"Security threats being faced by our High Commission and consulates in Canada have disrupted their normal functioning. Accordingly, they are temporarily unable to process visa applications," Bagchi told reporters. "We will be reviewing the situation on a regular basis." He gave no details on the alleged threats.
Bagchi also called for a reduction in Canadian diplomats in India, saying they outnumbered Indian diplomats in Canada.
"We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity" in staffing, he said.
The Canadian High Commission in New Delhi said Thursday that all its consulates in India are open and continue to serve clients. It said some of its diplomats had received threats on social media, prompting it to assess its "staff complement in India". It added that Canada expects India to provide security for its diplomats and consular officers working there.
On Wednesday, India warned its citizens to be careful when travelling to Canada because of "growing anti-India activities and politically condoned hate crimes".
India's security and intelligence branches have long been active in South Asia and are suspected in a number of killings in Pakistan. But arranging the killing of a Canadian citizen in Canada, home to nearly 2 million people of Indian descent, would be unprecedented.
Bagchi accused Canada of providing a safe haven for terrorists. He said India has regularly provided Canada with specific evidence about criminal activities by people based on its soil, but the information has not been acted upon.
India has criticised Canada for years over giving free rein to Sikh separatists, including Nijjar. New Delhi had accused him of having links to terrorism, which he denied.
Nijjar was a local leader in what remains of a once-strong movement to create an independent Sikh homeland, known as Khalistan. A bloody decade-long Sikh insurgency shook north India in the 1970s and 1980s until it was crushed in a government crackdown in which thousands of people were killed, including prominent Sikh leaders.
While the active insurgency ended decades ago, the Indian government has warned that Sikh separatists are trying to stage a comeback and pressed countries like Canada, where Sikhs comprise over 2 per cent of the population, to do more to stop them.
At the time of his killing, Nijjar was working to organise an unofficial Sikh diaspora referendum on independence from India.
New Delhi's anxieties about Sikh separatist groups in Canada have long been a strain on the relationship, but the two have maintained strong defence and trade ties and share strategic interests over China's global ambitions.
In March, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government summoned the Canadian high commissioner in New Delhi, its top diplomat in the country, to complain about Sikh independence protests in Canada.
But signs of a broader diplomatic rift emerged at the summit of the Group of 20 leading world economies hosted by India earlier this month. Trudeau had frosty encounters with Modi, and a few days later Canada cancelled a trade mission to India planned for the fall. A trade deal between the two is now on pause.

US NSA Jake Sullivan said that his government supports Canada's probe into Nijjar's murder and is also in touch with India on the issue.

We support Canada's probe, in touch with India: US NSA amid Nijjar row

US NSA Jake Sullivan said that his government supports Canada's probe into Nijjar's murder and is also in touch with India on the issue.

At a press briefing in the White House on September 21, United States' National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that his government supports Canada's investigation into the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
&ldquo;As soon as we heard from the Canadian PM publicly about the allegations, we went out publicly ourselves and expressed our deep concern about them, our support for law enforcement progress to get to the bottom of what exactly happened and ensure perpetrators are held accountable,&rdquo; said Sullivan.
He added that the US officials have also been in touch with the Indian government.
"I firmly reject that there is a wedge between the US and Canada. We have deep concerns about the allegations, we would like to see the investigation carried forward and perpetrators held to account. That is what the US has stood for from the moment this became public and will fully stand by till this fully plays its way out," Sullivan added.

With dawn breaking on the Moon, ISRO attempted to reestablish communication with the lander and rover, to revive them so that they can continue with scientific experiments.

ISRO on Friday said it has made efforts to establish communication with its lunar mission Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram and rover Pragyan to ascertain their 'wake-up condition' after they had been put into sleep mode early this month -- but no signals have been received from them as of now.
Attempts to make contact with the lander and rover will continue, the national space agency said on social media platform X.
With dawn breaking on the Moon, ISRO attempted to reestablish communication with the lander and rover, to revive them so that they can continue with scientific experiments.
Both the lander and the rover were put into sleep mode earlier this month on September 4 and 2 respectively, ahead of the lunar night setting in on Earth's only natural satellite. However, their receivers were kept on.
"Efforts have been made to establish communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover to ascertain their wake-up condition. As of now, no signals have been received from them. Efforts to establish contact will continue." ISRO said in a post on 'X'.
&ldquo;We have put both the lander and rover on sleep mode because temperature would go as low as minus 120-200 degree celsius. From September 20 onwards, sunrise will be going on at the Moon and by September 22 we hope that the solar panel and other things will be fully charged, so we will be trying to revive both the lander and rover, &rdquo; ISRO&rsquo;s Space Applications Centre Director Nilesh Desai had told PTI on Thursday.
