Gift


Kochouseph Chittilappilly offered Rs. Five lakhs to Jazira's children 
(an age-old practice to make sure that the money is well- spent)
when the sand mafia agitation fame asked what right he has over her children. 
It can then be interpreted that he need not give her any money by the same token
as he has no right over her, either. Will somebody let her know this so that she will not start 
the much advertised fast in front of his house and may move to a better place in terms of 'righthood'?
  • Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. Jazeera has no right to demand any money under the Gift Act of 1958 which Chittilappilly NEVER gave her. Similarly, Chittilappilli has no right to demand the money back which he has already gifted away to George of Iritty. Will somebody tell them these? Thanks.
  • Prof. Alex Odikandathil Ph.D. Even those with an IQ of 70 (close to intellectual disability) can understand that Chittilappilly has no right over the children when their mother expressly declares it. But Jazeera should know that the State has a right over its citizenry. The fundamental right guarantees K. Chittilappilly civil liberties in the like of leading his life in peace and harmony like any other Indian, without the interference of Jazeera or anybody else on his door-steps. Jazeera can be viewed as a public nuisance agitating on issues one after another and one who is acting against the welfare of herself and her children, to the extent of endangering their lives. But as an educator, my thrust is on education which is now a fundamental right of every child. The 86th Constitutional Amendment that makes education a fundamental right was passed by the Parliament in 2002. The new law makes it obligatory on the part of state governments and local bodies to ensure that every child in the age group of 6-14 years is provided free and compulsory education. If Jazeera's children fall in this age group, it is the duty of the Government of Kerala to proceed against Jazeera legally for child abuse and neglect and to take the children away from her custody and place them in a nurturing and thriving environment which makes sure that those children get quality education along with good food, decent shelter and responsible care and supervision.
