Rise and Not a shining morning

 Would you believe me if I say I woke up to this case? 

19-Yr-Old MP Tribal Girl Thrashed by Kin, Hung from Tree; 4 Held 


Read the Full Article here 

As usual, after waking up, I scrolled through Twitter, to find the latest news. Writer @Eepaa tweeted how men were afraid of women because they were physically different and strong than men to collect food for survival. Then men dominated women for survival. I am not writing of feminism; as a lady; am disheartened to hear the reality of certain men who still couldn't understand or were adamantly unwilling to understand the ultimate truth. 

Coming to this case, according to this article, it was a married teen who ran away from her in-laws for no reason mentioned in the article. I understood that it was not the first time, she has done this. The third time she ran away from her in-laws to her parent's house, the father got infuriated and decided to take control (dragged by her hair, (Visuals of Panjali being dragged by Dhuchathanan in my mind now), beaten up with wooden sticks, tied up and hung from a tree; Godwillingly not her neck).

So as decided to identify; the sections allocated in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Penal Code (PC) in this matter. After all, both statues are brothers of the same mother. I will first list down IPC followed by PC, as the jurisdiction comes under IPC.
  1. s. 294 (Obscene acts and songs)
  2. s. 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt)
  3. s. 355 (Whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any person intending thereby to dishonor that person)
  4. s.506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation)
  5. s.34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention)
In pari materia to Penal Code (Act 574)
  1. s. 294. Obscene songs
  2. s. 321. Voluntarily causing hurt
  3. s. 323. Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt
  4. s. 355. Assault or criminal force with intent to dishonour a person, otherwise than on grave provocation
  5. s. 506. Punishment for criminal intimidation
  6. s. 34. Each of several persons liable for an act done by all, in like manner as if done by him alone
The article says that the First Information Report, FIR has been placed. I will share the outcome if there is one.

LEGAL AID COURSE PART 1 & 2 : 30.11.2025

  YBGK Part 1 & 2 : Admistrative Matters ,  Arrest, Remand, Bail & Mitigation Legal Advice by Louis C Moeller Last Saturday, 30 November 2025, I attended Yayasan Bantuan Guaman Kebangsaan (YBGK)’s first course for lawyers. The sessions were conducted by Mdm. Anita A/P Vijaya Rajah (Gan & Zul) and Mr. Ramesh Vasan (Ramesh Vasan & Co), both from Kluang. There were about 35 of us in the room altogether. For me, attending this course was part of a personal checklist. One of those things you must fulfil to feel like a truly practising lawyer. I registered because I wanted to start taking criminal files to gain trial experience. Most importantly, I woke up that morning and told myself: Today I must make new friends. As I was getting ready, one of my seniors from college called asking if I was attending. I happily confirmed and the drive itself was pure joy. Clear roads, unlike the usual weekday court traffic. I was so relaxed I even drove past the Johore Bar...

IKIGAI, May 2025

Image
Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept that translates to "a reason for being" or "a reason to live". Last month, I randomly started to post case law summaries on LinkedIn. These case laws were handpicked by our Bar Council  Publication Committee. Yes, these are the people who like to send us emails, which are mostly never opened or are ignored by many of us. These mails kept bothering me, hence since the days of chambering, I wanted to read and post them on my blog, being scared of the commitment it requires, I hesitated.  Then, at the end of April, I randomly wrote a post about a criminal case, which was on my mind for a few months after giving it a read. Then, after that post, I consistently posted every day a case handpicked by our fellow committee.  From contracts, civil procedure, tort, criminal, election law, revenue law, and intellectual property... Whooshh, what variety of cases I was reading, laws in fields I never expected to be read, or thought was too diff...
