Bombay High Court Establishment

Today's Day in History

August 14, 1862: Bombay High Court was established for Maharashtra, Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu territory. This court has benches at Nagpur, Panaji and Aurangabad.

In 1668, King Charles II of England leased the seven islands of Bombay that he had received as dowry from his Portuguese wife, to the East India Company for 10 pounds per annum. Back then, Bombay was little more than a really small outpost with a deep harbour. To facilitate the smooth running of the territory, a law and legislation office was set up in 1672 by Gerald Aungier, the second Governor of Bombay. As the city prospered over the next 200 years, there was a need for a larger legal set-up.

And so, through the grant of 'Letters Patent' by Queen Victoria in 1862, three High Courts were set up - in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras.

Not many are aware that it was at the Bombay HC where barristers like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, BR Ambedkar & Jinnah practised the law.

However, there are certain exception in case child of such wedlock ( father UR but mother Reserved) who is raised in reserved community and separated or absence of father presence, he may be treated reserved as per mother caste. There are many exceptions : 1. When orphan child is adopted by mother of reserve caste. 2. When generation of Indian father of reserve caste live outside of India ( with no caste system) and when grand children return to India which caste they will be.

"Indian Marriages" in the context of dowry related violence

Vismaya Nair. The recent death of 24-year-old medical student Vismaya Nair in the Indian state of Kerala has sparked widespread outrage and renewed discussions over dowries and domestic violence in India. Despite their illegality, dowries are largely seen as a source of pride and status among families on both sides. The dark underbelly of the practice includes discrimination against girls, femicide, abuse and endless violence against brides in the country.
