 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

A SEPTUAGENARIAN COUPLE ENDED THEIR 44-YEAR MARRIAGE FOLLOWING AN 18-YEAR LEGAL DISPUTE IN INDIA. (PHOTO).

 A septuagenarian couple from Haryana’s Karnal district officially ended their 44-year marriage following an 18-year legal dispute. The Punjab and Haryana High Court’s mediation and conciliation centre facilitated the resolution, which involved a significant settlement of Rs 3.07 crore in permanent alimony. The husband, determined to part ways, sold portions of his prime agricultural land to fulfill the agreement.


The couple, married on August 27, 1980, under Hindu rites, had three children—two daughters and one son. Due to growing temperamental differences, they began living separately on May 8, 2006. The husband filed for divorce in the Karnal family court on grounds of mental cruelty, but his plea was rejected in January 2013. He later appealed to the high court, where the case remained unresolved for nearly 11 years before being referred to mediation on November 4, 2024.


During the mediation, the wife and their children agreed to the settlement. To fulfill his promise, the husband sold agricultural land and paid Rs 2.16 crore through a demand draft, an additional Rs 50 lakh in cash from crop sales, and handed over gold and silver ornaments worth Rs 40 lakh. The agreement stated that the wife and children would have no further claims on the husband’s property, even after his death.


The division bench, comprising Justice Sudhir Singh and Justice Jasjit Singh Bedi, approved the settlement in a detailed order released last week. The court officially dissolved the marriage based on the mutual agreement dated November 22, marking the end of a long, bitter legal battle and closing a significant chapter in the couple’s lives.
