DEHRADUN : A WOMAN, who was presumed dead by her family members nearly a fortnight ago, came back home in the district, but her husband refused to take her back.
Sheila Devi, 40, a resident of Sayari village and mother of three children, had gone missing from the bank of the river Yamuna on July 17, where she had gone to wash clothes, sources in the police said.
When her family members reached the spot they found only clothes and soap. All effort to trace her proved futile and they presumed she was washed away in the waters of the river, they said.
Devi’s husband informed the police about the incident and even performed her funeral rites.
However, Devi suddenly resurfaced at home. She claimed that two masked men took her away when she was washing clothes and dropped her near her house sources said.
She claimed to have no memory of what happened to her during the period, they said.
Though her children were happy on getting their mother back but her husband refused to accept her. He dropped her at her mother’s place.
Police are also investigating the matter. PTI

Blind candidates await rly job posting
MUMBAI: Four blind persons, who landed jobs with the Central Railway nearly a year ago, are still awaiting posting, and more importantly salary cheques. The situation has arisen because Railway apparently does not know how to use them. The matter has now landed in the Bombay High Court. Vijay Gujar, hailing from Dhule, and three others have dragged the Railway to the High Court, seeking a posting, and damages of Rs 50,000 each from the concerned officers for the mental anguish they had suffered. Gujar, Vaishali Kamble, Ramavtar Prajapati and Dayanand Prasad cleared the Railway’s written examination in November 2007. Under the Disability Act of 1995, government departments have to reserve three per cent jobs for the disabled.

Harassed hubbies to seek ‘freedom’ on I-Day
On Independence Day on August 15, a group of men met in Shimla and chalked out a plan for "equal rights" and "freedom"-from "harassment" by their wives.
"On Independence Day we met and raised the issue of freedom and dignity of harassed husbands. More than 100 men, representatives of 30,000 other harassed husbands from across the country, have converged at a day-long meeting to come up with strategies to take on their wives," Anil Kumar, president of the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), told IANS.
Bangalore –based NGO SIFF, along with another Bangalore based NGO, CRISP (Children’s Rights Initiative for Shared Parenting), in partnership with Maharashtra’s Purush Suraksha Sanstha and Uttar Pradesh’s Pathi Paramesh Kendra have organised the event.
"All the four groups are working for equal rights for men and women in India. We feel that in many instances, the Indian law is biased when it comes to husbands, as it often favours the wives. Be it in the case of custody of children for divorced couples or false allegations of domestic violence and dowry harassment, the law generally takes the side of women, without listening to the side of men," said Kumar.

Kicking daughter-in-law is not cruelty: SC
NEW DELHI: A husband and his relatives cannot be prosecuted for "cruelty" towards wife merely because the mother-in-law or other family members had kicked her or for that matter threatened her with divorce, the Supreme Court has held. Similarly, if a mother-in-law gives constant sermons to the daughter-in-law or allegedly treated her shabbily by giving her used dress suits, it does not invite prosecution under Section 498A of the IPC, a bench of Justices SB Sinha and Cyriac Joseph said.
