The husband has to prove that the wife has been denying him all the marital rights & has withdrawn from his society without any major reason. On the other hand, the wife has to show such proofs that show the actual valid reason for the withdrawal such as any matrimonial misconduct that made it impossible for her to continue to live with him. If she fails to do so, the court will pass a decree to restitute the conjugal rights of the husband.

This can be transferred by application to the High Court or Supreme Court as well, according to the severity of the case or requirement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 2) After the filing of the petition, a copy of the petition is sent to the respondent-wife along with the date of hearing from the district court. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 3) Both parties have to be present on the date of the hearing. If both parties are not present, the court gives another date.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 4) The next step is counseling/mediation sent by the court. It is done by the family court, as provided in the Family Courts Act. This takes approximately 4 months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">⛔ <b>What happens in Counseling?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once the parties are sent to counseling, they need to appear before a counselor. The counselor may be someone who has been appointed by the court. Counseling takes place on 2-3 dates with a gap of 2-3 weeks between two dates. Here, both parties are given a chance to present their versions of the facts, and the counselor tries to come to an understanding. In the end, the counselor offers advice. This may sort out the differences to go back to the husband, or to go for a divorce by mutual consent.

However, if the parties refuse to proceed according to the suggestions of the counselor, the counselor will forward the application back to court on grounds that mediation has failed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">WhatsApp Chat 📲 <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/753337695102390476/7336246407261247736#">WA.me/918779696580</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 5) Once the application is back in court, the suit will continue, and the respondent-wife is required to give her ‘counter’ to the husband’s application. Oral arguments will proceed to dispose of the interim petitions first and pass the interim order.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 6) The husband has to file a Chief Examination Affidavit for producing evidence that the wife has left him, which will result in cross-examination.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 7) Final arguments take place next, where both the parties represent their version of facts and ultimately pray for relief from the Judge.

This might be done by breaking up large amount of money into less conspicuous smaller sums which are deposited directly into a Bank Account or by purchasing a series of financial products<b>.</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>📌 Layering:</b></p><p dir="ltr">In this stage, the Money Launderer typically engages in a series of continuous conversions or movements of funds, within the financial or banking system by way of numerous accounts, so as to hide their true origin and to distance them from their criminal source. The Money Launderer may use various channels for movement of funds, like a series of Bank Accounts, sometimes spread across the globe, especially in those jurisdictions which do not cooperate in anti-money laundering investigations.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>📌 Integration:</b></p><p dir="ltr">Having successfully processed through the first two stages of Money Laundering, the Launderer then moves to this third stage in which the funds reach the legitimate economy, after getting inseparably mixed with the legitimate money earned through legal sources of income. The Money Launderer might then choose to invest the funds into real estate, business ventures & luxury assets, etc. so that he can enjoy the laundered money, without any fear of law enforcement agencies.</p><p dir="ltr">The above three steps may not always follow each other. At times, illegal money may be mixed with legitimate money, even prior to placement in the financial system. In certain cash rich businesses like Gambling and Real Estate, the proceeds of crime may be invested without entering the mainstream financial system at all.</p><p dir="ltr">Before appearing on summons at Enforcement Directorate and recording your statements, please make sure you've consulted with Ozg Lawyers.

“A twenty one year young boy has knocked at the portals of this Court for bail. He is involved in cybercrime. The manner in which the crime has been committed shows the devilish master mindedness, cool thinking, tricks adopted, organised effort and timely execution of plan of the offenders. The intelligence and advanced type of knowledge on cyber seems to have been utilised in a wrong way. Sitting somewhere far from the victim and without having any direct physical access to her, the cybercriminal has caused unimaginable harm to her with touches of his fingers on the computer and stolen more than what an ordinary criminal could have done with gun. The victim of the organised crime appears to be an innocent lady fell into the trap of evil design. With the temptation of getting foreign gifts, she acted like a brainless toy in the hands of the criminals till she realised one day that she had been deceived on a mistaken impression.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A twenty one year young boy has knocked at the portals of this Court for bail. He is involved in cybercrime. The manner in which the crime has been committed shows the devilish master mindedness, cool thinking, tricks adopted, organised effort and timely execution of plan of the offenders. The intelligence and advanced type of knowledge on cyber seems to have been utilised in a wrong way. Sitting somewhere far from the victim and without having any direct physical access to her, the cybercriminal has caused unimaginable harm to her with touches of his fingers on the computer and stolen more than what an ordinary criminal could have done with gun. The victim of the organised crime appears to be an innocent lady fell into the trap of evil design. With the temptation of getting foreign gifts, she acted like a brainless toy in the hands of the criminals till she realised one day that she had been deceived on a mistaken impression.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The law was set into motion with the presentation of a first information report by Sukanti Mohanty at Cyber Crime Police Station of C.I.D., C.B., Cuttack on the accusation that she had become a victim of organized cybercrime and had paid a sum of Rs.17,03,390/- to different persons through their bank accounts which were provided to her through e-mail/sms /whatsapp. She alleged against one person identifying himself as Frank Young on facebook had sent her a friend’s request which she accepted. The accused informed the informant that he had sent her some gifts which were held up in Delhi from where she should collect the gifts. The informant was asked through a number of calls and e-mails for money on various pretexts i.e. remittance, foreign exchange, transfer etc. The phone calls and sms were received from different numbers and the people who identified themselves as Frank, Marc, security personnel, R.B.I. officials and Airport officials etc. advised and convinced the informant to deposit money in different bank accounts provided by them. The money was paid in four different bank accounts of four different persons by the informant totalling to Rs.17,03,390/-.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On such first information report, C.I.D.C.B. Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.12 dated 26.08.2016 was registered under sections <b>419/420/468/471 of the Indian Penal Code and section 66-C/66-D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During course of investigation, the informant and other witnesses were examined. The documents relating to deposit of money, accounts statement of the informant’s bank account as well as some other relevant documents were seized. Requisitions under section 91 of Cr.P.C. were sent to the concerned banks to provide A/c opening forms details along with up to date account statement and other necessary information for identification of the account holders. Immediate correspondence were also made with concerned mobile service providers to ascertain the subscriber information as well as call details to ascertain the identity and location of the cell phone numbers which were used in making contact with the informant. While conducting investigating at New Delhi, it was ascertained that large sum of money was deposited in the bank accounts of fraudsters and the same was immediately being transferred to many other bank accounts in smaller amounts by internet banking and soon after that the smaller amounts were withdrawn immediately through ATMs in no time leaving very little or no balance in the beneficiary accounts. The concerned branch managers were requested to debit freeze the beneficiary accounts. On 08.10.2016, the Inspector of Cyber Crime, Goa intimated the investigating officer by e-mail that two Nigerian nationals i.e. the petitioner and another have been arrested on 03.10.2016 by Goa police and during interrogation, it was ascertained that they are involved in a crime in Orissa by defrauding the informant by using two mobile numbers. During verification of the mobile numbers and call records received from the mobile service providers, it appeared that the two mobile numbers are common in Odisha Cyber Crime case and Goa Cyber Crime case. The investigating officer received CDR and CAF in respect of some of the mobile numbers and analyzed them. From the CDR of the mobile phones, it became evident that the fraudster had induced the informant by making telephone call and sms and the two mobile numbers which were used in two IMEIs were seized by the Cybercrime officials of Delhi and Goa. It was ascertained during course of investigation that the petitioner and another co-accused had become friends with the informant through e-mail/sms/whatsapp. Finding sufficient prima facie evidence against the petitioner, charge sheet was submitted on 27.02.2017 against the petitioner and another <b>co-accused under sections 419/420/468/471 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 66-C/66-D of the Information Technology Act keeping the further investigation open under section 173(8) of Cr.P.C.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The petitioner moved an application for bail before the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Bhubaneswar in Bail Application No.201/904 of 2017 which was rejected vide order dated 02.08.2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Gautam Mishra, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that the petitioner has been unnecessarily victimized and he is in no way involved in the alleged commission of the offences and he has already remained in custody for a substantial period and has undergone tremendous hardship and mental agony and charge sheet has already been submitted. It is further stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been granted bail in the Goa case by the J.M.F.C., Mapusa, Goa and he has filed the bail order copy. He further submitted that there is no chance of tampering with the evidence and therefore, the bail application may be favourably considered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Janmejaya Katikia, learned Additional Government Advocate on the other hand contended that there is not only sufficient evidence against the petitioner relating to his involvement in the crime but also the further investigation of the case is under progress and once the petitioner is released on bail, there is likelihood of tampering with the evidence. It is further contended that the petitioner is involved in committing similar offences in other States also and therefore, the bail application should be rejected. Learned counsel filed the case records as well as some important documents in a sealed envelope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adverting to the contentions raised by the learned counsels for the respective parties and after going through the case records, it appears that there are sufficient prima facie evidence to show that due to inducement of the petitioner, the informant deposited a sum of Rs.17,03,390/- in four accounts, three belonged to S.B.I. and one belonged to Central Bank of India. From the said accounts, the petitioner had transferred money through online account transfer to beneficiary accounts and the accused persons have withdrawn money through ATM leaving a very negligible amount in the account. The maximum withdrawal have been effected using ATM cards and the Branch Managers of the concerned banks such as State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Mysore, UCO Bank, Union Bank and State Bank of Hyderabad etc. stated that the account holders never visit the branch and have withdrawn money only through ATM. It is evident that the informant has deposited money in four accounts of different persons which are fake due to inducement by the petitioner through online transfer from her accounts and soon after her deposit, the money was transferred through internet banking in smaller amounts to several beneficiary accounts which are in different banks in New Delhi. It further appears that the petitioner visited India in a fake Visa on health ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Considering the nature and gravity of the accusation, the nature of supporting evidence, the manner in which the informant has been cheated with a huge amount, the severity of punishment in case of conviction, the reasonable apprehension of tampering with the evidence particularly when the further investigation is under progress and the criminal proclivity of the petitioner, I am not inclined to accept the prayer for bail of the petitioner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Accordingly, the BLAPL application stands rejected.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Some new born Startups proposed
that the contact center be run over a cloud-hosted telephony system. As per
their model, calls would be generated from abroad, sent to a Cloud Hosted Automatic
Call Distribution System (ACD) which would also be based abroad, and then
routed over to the India-based contact center. Agents sitting in the contact
center would connect to the ACD accounts to receive and make calls. The
argument fundamentally was that, since there is no PSTN anywhere in the whole
setup, and the whole contact center has no possibility of PSTN-VOIP merging,
the contact center would legally comply with OSP norms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Additionally, from a security
point of view, in this model, it becomes far more difficult to capture and
decrypt voice conversations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Note that one of the key
defining requirements for OSP approval is that national security requirements
be maintained — and this variant of the cloud-hosted model clearly fails that
requirement. DoT does not approve these kinds of architectures. All OSPs will
need to take the connection from India based authorized VoIP service providers
only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Finally, when we see
the </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Clarification Terms and Condition for OSP dated №18–1/2009-CS-1
Dated: the 25th February, 2009</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">, issued by the DoT, it explicitly mentions
that “use of Foreign VoIP minutes by OSPs is not permissible”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">In short, our advice to all
OSPs that intend to use cloud-hosted systems in this fashion is simple — avoid,
avoid, avoid! Remember the cost of compliance may seem high, but it is far
lower than the cost of being caught in non-compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;"><b style="outline: none medium;">These are the main points to be considered..</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">a) Section 65B of Indian Evidence Act refer to the special provisions of the Act in respect of Electronic Documents. Though Section 65 is referring to “Secondary” documents in paper form, there is no such distinction made as to the electronic document.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">b) There is no need to distinguish Primary and Secondary and all documents need to be interpreted by a human being which takes the form of a Section 65B certificate.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">c) A “Hard disk” which may contain an electronic document also cannot be considered the “Primary Document” since it is only a “Container” and the real Electronic document is an expression in binary language which cannot be read by a human being and needs to be interpreted with the assistance of a binary reading device</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">d) Section 65B explains the conditions under which an electronic document can be considered as “Admissible” in a Court as a “Document” and it needs to be suitably confirmed for the Court to accept the document, which is often termed as “Section 65B certificate or Statement”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">e) Section 65B refers to a process of producing a “Computer Output” of the electronic document which is the evidence to be admitted and such computer output can be either in the form of a “Print Out” or a “Copy”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;"><br style="outline: none medium;" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">f) There is a “Process” by which the electronic document becomes the “Computer output” and Section 65B identifies this as the subject activity which needs to be conducted by a person having lawful control over the computer producing such output and that during the period of such production, the Computer should be working properly etc.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;"><br style="outline: none medium;" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">g) The focus of Section 65B is the activity of conversion of the electronic document residing inside a system which can be seen by an observer into a “Computer Output”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;"><br style="outline: none medium;" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">h) The other clarifications contained in the Section 65B such as that the Computer Output could be produced by a combination of computers, acting in succession etc. as relating to dynamic creation of an electronic document from a data base and routing it through multiple devices onto a final visible form in the computer of the observer and thereafter its porting into a Printer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">It is very important that the legal fraternity and the Judiciary interprets the section properly. Any interpretation that only a “Server Administrator” can provide a certificate under Section 65B is considered incorrect. The server administrator can however provide the certificate but it is not mandatory. The Section 65B certifier is like a photographer who captures a photograph of an event and confirms the process of taking the photograph though he may not be aware of who is there in the picture and what they are doing. It is left to other “Experts” to interpret the “Content” and impute meaning as only a subject matter expert can do.</span></div>

(OSP), such as tele-banking, tele-medicine, tele-trading, e-commerce etc will
be allowed to operate by using infrastructure provided by various access
providers for non-telecom services. The Telecom Commission in May 1999,
accorded in principle approval for registration of Call Centers, both
International and Domestic, in the country under the above category. Later, services like Network Operation
Centers and Vehicle Tracking Systems, were also added to this category. As per
the Terms and Conditions formulated by the Telecom Commission in February 2000,
these application Service Providers
could take telecom resources from authorized Telecom Service Providers only and
may not infringe upon the jurisdiction of other authorized Telecom Service
Providers and they will not provide switched telephony. The Department of
Telecommunication (DOT) will charge a processing fee of Rs.1000/- per
case. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
