Sorry Ziah. Mishri is not the owner of the shop. She was never the owner. The only person who could have sold the property was Bhabho and its clear she had no idea what she was agreeing to. So, the sale to the Toshniwals would not be upheld by any court of law.Hypothetically ask yourself this. You have a house. It is in your legal name. Can your neighbour or even your child sell it without your authorization? NO. They cannot. Mishri could not sell the store to anyone. Nor could anyone buy it from her. The Rathis are in the right here. It's legally Bhabho's store. Kanak ALWAYS had the law on her side. She just didn't want to risk Bhabho's health by taking the legal route and taking Uma to court. The Law is not with the Toshniwals. Not at all.The only charges the Toshniwals can bring is against (1) Mishri - a dead girl and (2) Aditya - a missing man and Uma's brother.In fact - the whole transaction or transfer btwn Uma and Kanak makes no sense. It's Bhabho's store. These hubby-wife are sharing property that doesn't belong to either of them. Bhabho could easily take them both to court and get the store back in her own name. As the transfer from her to Uma was not legal. The transaction there after was not legal either. Now in some countries there is a concept called "adverse possession' - but, even that would not be applicable here because Bhabho always maintained physical possession of the store.People want to be morally offended by Kanak misleading the Toshniwals for 20 days. For hurting and dumping Uma. That's fair. But, there was no legal impropriety on her part.
So you're saying that Uma is at fault for not knowing the fraud of Mishri and Aditya and the court would ignore it?
Bhabho signed those documents (yes, she was not aware but she did sign them) and of course, Mishri had no right to sell it, I know. In such a case, isn't this a bit biased. Just because Uma forcibly married Kanak, it's not right to declare him guilty in everything?
Uma has suffered monetary loss here, he is the victim. Elsewhere, he is not, he is the oppressor.
Think about it, if people were to start selling property and later claim they had no knowledge of it then the buyer's rights would be violated.
Isn't the court going to take this into consideration? I think it will.
Furthermore when Kanak tried to harm Uma's religious beliefs I think it's not only morally offensive but also an iffense that is punishable:
Section 295A, Indian Penal Code: Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs. Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise], insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both
Similarly, Kanak has done things that are punishable by law as well. It's not just morally offensive.
Nevertheless, it was a good discussion. Thanks :)
