ORAL
ORDER
(Per
: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. S.J. MUKHOPADHAYA)
The
petitioner Dashrath M. Devda has filed an affidavit and sought for
unconditional apology for making certain observations before the
Court on 25.11.2010 in SCA No. 14922/10. By the said order, the
Court having found no case made out in public interest, and having
found the case frivolous, imposed a cost of Rs. 1 lakh on the
petitioner. Today in the affidavit, he had made the following
statement:-
“I
respect the whole women fraternity. I adore women’s role as mother,
sister, daughter and wife too for the well being of family and
society. I only oppose those women who misuse the laws like IPC
498A, Cr.P.C 125, 24 HMA, and Domestic Violence Act, 2005 etc. and
take revenge on their husbands and others and just destruct the
family structure which in the long run harmful to society.”
In
view of such apology sought for, and in absence of any opposition
made by the learned Government Pleader, we recall last portion of our
order dated 25.11.2010 passed in SCA No. 14922 of 2010, whereby we
imposed costs of Rs. 1 lakhs on the petitioner. The petition being
frivolous, costs is assessed to Rs. 5,000/- to be paid within three
months in favour of Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA),
Ahmedabad in place of Rs. 1 lakh. The said order stands modified to
the above extent. MCA stands disposed of.
