News4u – News Desk : (TOI) : AHMEDABAD: A man whose wife had divorced him over his alleged impotence, fought a long legal battle to prove in the Gujarat High Court that her claim was false.

Wife Ramila Patel got a divorce from the family court on the ground that her husband Rajendra could not consummate the marriage. She also claimed that she was tortured and became victim of his financial fraud.

Rajendra challenged the order in the high court, which observed after getting laboratory certificates that there was no conclusive evidence regarding his impotency or the assertion that the marriage was not consummated.

However, in its order passed last week, the high court concluded that it would not interfere with the family court’s decision of dissolving the marriage on grounds of cruelty.

Rajendra and Ramila Patel married in 2000. Rajendra worked in an Ahmedabad private firm, while Ramila was an accounts officer with the telephone department. Ramila, who initiated the divorce suit in the family court in 2003, claimed that the frustration of the marriage not being consummated had turned into mental torture for her.

She even complained that though she helped him after he was injured in the 2001 earthquake, he usurped her property and fraudulently availed compensation received after the 2001 earthquake.

In 2009, the family court passed the order in Ramila’s favour and held that she was entitled to a divorce on grounds of her husband’s impotency and cruelty.

The court concluded that laboratory reports suggested that the sperm motility was poor and the man was not able to consummate the marriage.

During arguments before the high court, the husband said he had produced another report from a different laboratory showing that his sperm count was ‘fair’, but the family court had not take this into consideration. His lawyer also contended that ‘poor motility’ as mentioned in the report referred to the sperm count and could not be presumed to mean that the man was impotent and incapable of consummating the marriage.

After hearing the arguments, a bench of Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari observed that in the absence of conclusive evidence, it could not be said that the husband was impotent and it was not possible to believe the wife’s claims that the marriage was not consummated.

He said the initial plan was to send the ships through an intermediary country, but “based on a decision by the society, they will be sent directly.” He added that the aid would consist of foodstuffs and medicines.

The Iranian Red Crescent had previously sent an aid ship carrying food and medicines to Gaza in December 2008 but it was prevented from reaching the territory by the Israeli navy.

The decision to send the two ships comes hot on the heels of a report that Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards had expressed readiness to escort aid flotillas to Gaza.

“If the respected leader of the revolution (supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) gives an order in this regard, the Revolutionary Guards’ naval forces will take a practical step using their capability and equipment to escort flotillas toGaza,” Khamenei’s aide in the Guards’ naval wing, Ali Shirazi, told the Mehr news agency Sunday.

News4u-News Desk-A Pakistani-origin USnational has been arrested while trying to board a flight to flee the country after a failed terror plot to explode a car bomb in the heart of New York’s busy Times Square,US Attorney General Eric Holder said.

The 30-year-old man identified as Pakistan-American Shahzad Faisal, who is a naturalised US citizen and a resident ofConnecticut, was arrested on Monday night.

MSNBC television reported that the suspect Faisal was arrested Monday night on Long Island while CNN said the man was nabbed while trying to board a plane for an unknown location at John F Kennedy International Airport.

MSNBC said the man had been linked to explosives-laden Nissan Pathfinder seized late Saturday at the busy Times Square.

The suspect bought the Nissan Pathfinder in recent weeks with cash from its last owner in Connecticut. The investigators tracked down the registered owner by the vehicle identification number.

It is still not clear whether the man was acting individually or is part of a terrorist outfit and reports suggest that man had travelled to Pakistan recently. The former owner identified the buyer was of Middle Eastern or Hispanic descent, but could not recall his name, the New York Times said.

Authorities had launched a massive manhunt with the FBI’s anti-terror unit and New York police to try to catch the would-be bomber.

Meanwhile, the police and FBI in the New York are examining surveillance tapes from the surrounding buildings.

“Investigators and agents also were scouring international phone records showing calls between some of the people who might be associated with this and folks overseas,” an official who has discussed the case with intelligence officers was quoted as saying by The Washington Post.

The CNN also said that investigators are examining phone records of businesses that sell some of the bomb’s components and chasing leads in “several locations” on the East Coast and beyond.

A federal law enforcement official, to whom CNN spoke, would not say whether any of the leads were in other countries, and cautioned that the investigation could take “a few more days or weeks.”

The ABC news reported that there is growing evidence the bomber did not act alone and had ties to radical elements overseas.

Earlier, one senior official told the news channel that there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.

The license plate on the car was apparently stolen from an auto repair shop outside Bridgeport, Connecticut, according to law enforcement officials, ABC News said.

Referring to the interviews with authorities in the administration, the CBS news said the buyer of the SUV is a man of Pakistani descent who recently travelled to Pakistan.

“Pending investigation. We are continuing to pursue leads in an effort to identify the individual or individuals who left the vehicle in Times Square,” FBI spokesman Paul Bersson earlier told a news agency.

The fresh terror plot by Pakistani-American came into light months after arrest of another Pakistani-origin American David Coleman Headley, who has been charged with plotting terrorists’ attacks in India and Denmark.

In March, US-based think-tank the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in a report said that the United Statesneeds to refocus its efforts on extremists born and raised in American communities following a spurt in cases of arrest of “home grown terrorists”.

The report ‘A Growing Terrorist Threat?’ Assessing Homegrown Extremism in the United States’ noted that facing comparatively few restrictions, US residents and citizens can travel abroad, connect with terrorist groups to gain explosives or weapons training, and return here to plan and execute attacks.

Referring to some of the high-profile arrests in 2009 including that of Najibullah Zazi, Headley and Nidal Malik Hasan, the report had said, this rash of arrests has important implications for policymakers and officials in charge of counter-terrorism and homeland security because US legal residents and citizens are lucrative assets for global terror groups.

“Particularly troubling are homegrown extremists who possess facility with both American and foreign cultures, including language skills. Such multicultural familiarity could allow them to operate freely both at home and overseas and to elude far more easily than foreign nationals,” it added.
