Supreme Court: The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL seeking the establishment of rules for the registration of all live-in relationships with the Centre on Monday, calling it a “hare-brained” proposal. A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud asked the petitioner’s attorney, lawyer Mamta Rani, if she wanted to promote the security of these people or prevent them from entering into live-in partnerships. The petitioner, according to the attorney, wanted the relationship to be registered in order to improve their social security.
PIL to develop laws for the registration of live-in partnerships
“What does the Centre have to do with live-in relationships? What kind of craziness is this? It is past time for this court to levy fees on petitioners who file these types of PILs. Dismissed, “declared the bench, which also included Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala. Rani filed the PIL in order to direct the Centre to develop laws for the registration of live-in partnerships, citing an increase in crimes such as rape and murder purportedly committed by live-in partners. The petition, which related to the recent murder of Shraddha Walkar reportedly by her live-in boyfriend Aaftab Amin Poonawala, also requested the establishment of norms and procedures for the registration of such relationships.
Registering live-in partnerships would result in correct information
According to the PIL, registering live-in partnerships would result in correct information being available to both live-in partners and the government about each of them regarding their marital status, criminal history, and other important details.
