Pramod Suryabhan Pawar v. State of Maharashtra (2019) 9 SCC 608
A false promise to marry can vitiate consent but a mere breach of promise is not rape.
📌The promise must be false from inception and directly linked to the sexual relationship.
Useful in appropriate quashing cases.

⚖️ Section 38 BNS: Self-defence can extend to causing death but only in serious, imminent threats.

Self-defence is a shield, not revenge.

📜 Eloped daughter = Kidnapping?

Not necessarily. If a girl voluntarily leaves and marries of her own free will, the element of “taking or enticing” may be absent.

⚠️ But if she is under 18, POCSO can still apply minor’s consent is no defence.

Kidnapping ≠ POCSO.

⚖️ Samruddhi Coop. Housing Society v. Mumbai Mahalaxmi Construction
(2022) 4 SCC 103

Builder’s failure to obtain an Occupancy Certificate is a continuing wrong. Flat owners can claim compensation for extra charges caused by the delay.

Use it to counter a limitation plea. ⚖️

Builder dispute? ⚖️

Don’t rush to FIR or RERA.
The right legal strategy matters.

Private Complaint + Consumer Court may be the better route in appropriate cases.

📖 Samruddhi Co-op. Housing Society (2022) 4 SCC 103
Builder delayed possession? Your consumer case may still not be time-barred.
If no valid offer of possession has been made, the delay is a continuing wrong, and your complaint may still be maintainable under Section 69.

Police powers are not unlimited. ⚖️

D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal, (1997) 1 SCC 416 laid down safeguards against illegal arrests and custodial violence.

Know your arrest rights and legal remedies.

Can police forcibly hospitalise a hunger-striking protester? ⚖️

The Sonam Wangchuk case shows that police have no blanket power to do so. The law requires legality, necessity, proportionality, and medical justification.

Do you agree?

5 years at the Bar. 3 lessons that changed how I practise. ⚖️
• Expect less from people, more from yourself.
• Prepare thoroughly, no matter how strong your case looks.
• The District Courts teach realities no classroom can.

Can the police detain you without informing your family?
The Supreme Court answered this in **D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal** by laying down 11 mandatory arrest guidelines. Violation of these safeguards can even amount to contempt of court.

🎉 Another successful bail matter before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.

Regular bail granted to my client in a case under Sections 69, 89 & 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Grateful to my client for the trust and to the Hon'ble Court for granting relief.

💰 Myth: I paid the complainant, so my criminal case is over
❌ Wrong. For non-compoundable offences, only the High Court can close the case by quashing the FIR under Section 528 BNSS (Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303 ⚖️

💳 Bank said, "OTP was verified"?

That doesn't always end the matter.

Report an unauthorised card transaction within 3 working days, and RBI rules may provide **Zero Liability**.

💔 Breakup ≠ Crime.

⚖️ Under Section 69 BNS, a failed relationship alone is not an offence. The promise to marry must have been false from the very beginning and must have led to consent.

Yesterday marked the formal inauguration of my law chambers a significant milestone in my professional journey.

As a first-generation member of the Bar, the path has been neither linear nor without its share of challenges.

Happy Advocates Day to all my seniors, colleagues and friends.
To every advocate who burns the midnight oil over case files, who speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves—thank you. Here's to the backbone of our legal system. 🏛️⚖️ #AdvocatesDay #GuardiansOfJustice #Law
