DOMESTIC HELPS AND THEIR SHENANIGANS.........

The fine art of crying wolf on every pretext be it true or false certainly seems to have touched it's nadir on this one, as a Delhi court acquitted a 82 year old male resident of the city from the frivolous and malicious charges of attempt to rape and outrage a women's modesty.........


Mincing no words and soundly chastising employment agencies that hire maids and domestic helps, the court asked them to examine the integrity and character of the personnel being provided by such placement agencies rather than recommending or sending across such people who file frivolous complaints against honourable people for no rhyme or reason..........

The very same court also asked the state government to immediately frame guidelines that would curb and put an end to this nocturnal tendency of foisting false charges on honourable people or persons and casting unnecessary aspersions on both their character as well as person.........

While honourably acquitting the national capitals' resident Krishan Lal Sharma of all charges foisted on him by his domestic help, Additional Sessions Judge Nivedita Anil Sharma acerbically observed that " this case was nothing more than a furtive attempt by an unscrupulous person vetted by an irresponsible and immature placement agency to extort money over and above the mutually agreed to salary payable to the domestic help"............

While asking the concerned agencies and government to frame guidelines to immediately curb and arrest this growing menace, the judge observed that this court "has just been apprised of the alarming and disturbing fact that there are neither any laws or guidelines in place to regulate the working as well as minutely scrutinise the business dealings of all such placement agencies that claim to specialise in providing trustworthy domestic helps with the required and much desires police protection"........

The said judge also instructed the higher ups in the Delhi police force to start taking a closer look at the workings and dealings of such placement agencies and verify or certify the antecedents and character of each and every domestic help provided by these agencies to numerous households within the National Capital Region........

"Unsuspecting people or citizens hire these domestic helps to ease out their daily routines and lead a somewhat easier existence and not to be troubled, harangued and bothered by both unscrupulous agencies and personnel belonging to such supposedly certified and registered agencies".........

"It is indeed high time that both the government of the day as well as other such related agencies took due notice of this growing menace and initiated all such necessary as well as required measures to regulate the workings of all such agencies existing within the National Capital Region as early and as expeditiously as possible", the judge said in her closing remarks..........
