Man loses Rs 80,000 after card gets stuck in ATM, SBI refunds amount now to pay for ‘mental agony’ | Legal News

4 min readNew DelhiJun 13, 2026 09:00 AM IST A Delhi man who lost Rs 80,000 through unauthorised transactions after his SBI debit card got stuck in an ATM had to wait nearly 10 months and approach a consumer forum before the money was refunded.

Mere demand for loan repayment doesn’t amount to abetment of suicide: Bombay High Court | Legal News

Mere demand for loan repayment doesn’t amount to abetment of suicide: Bombay High Court | Legal News

3 min readMumbaiJun 4, 2026 05:42 PM IST The Bombay High Court has quashed an FIR registered against six people, holding that mere demands for loan repayment cannot be a proximate cause of abetment of suicide in the absence of wilful instigation or conspiracy. The court noted that while the police had registered a case alleging that a retired teacher killed himself by consuming poison because of harassment over loan repayments, the postmortem report and chemical analysis showed that he had died of a heart attack and that no poison was detected in his body. Justice Ranjitsinha R Bhonsale, sitting at the Kolhapur circuit bench, passed a ruling last month on an application filed by six persons seeking the quashing of a 2022 FIR registered against them under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 306 (abetment of suicide) and subsequent proceedings pending before a magistrate’s court. Advocate Rupesh Bobade, appearing for the six people, argued that no proximate cause linked them to any act of instigation or abetment. Despite this, “shockingly and with mala fide intent”, …

`Grabbing woman’s breasts, pulling pyjama string amount to attempt to rape`

The Supreme Court (SC) has held that grabbing a woman’s breasts and pulling the string of her pyjama constitute an “attempt to rape”, overturning a controversial Allahabad High Court (HC) ruling that had termed the acts merely as “preparation to commit rape”, news agency PTI reported. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and NV Anjaria observed that the HC’s order was liable to be quashed due to the “patently erroneous application of the settled principles of criminal jurisprudence”. The top court delivered its order on February 10 while hearing a suo motu case in which it had taken cognisance of the HC’s March 17, 2025, ruling, PTI reported. The lower court had stated that merely grabbing breasts and pulling a pyjama string did not amount to the offence of rape. Setting aside the HC’s judgment, the apex court restored the original charge of attempt to rape against the two accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. “The facts alleged being so, we cannot …
