Aditya Pardasany

The Aditya Pardasany dowry case (NRI claims physio husband, family hit her when pregnant, mid-day October 18) took an unexpected turn on December 13 when a city Sessions Court declined the physiotherapist's application for anticipatory bail.

The Court, in its order described Aditya's role as "vital, being the husband of the victim and thereby the prime person responsible for the proper maintenance of the victim, who is a foreign national and related to the applicant by matrimonial tie."
