Nirvana 4 Report post Posted November 23, 2006 Rediff.com November 23, 2006 21:48 IST A court in Kanpur has issued a notice to Wipro chairman Azim Premji after the wife of one of the company's employees alleged her husband had left her because the firm paid him a 'dating allowance.' The chief metropolitan magistrate issued the notice to Premji and Wipro vice president Pratik Kumar in connection with a case filed by Tripti Nigam, a resident of Gwaltoli area, under the new Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005. Tripti's husband Gaurav and the Wipro officials were asked by the court to submit their replies by November 29. Tripti had initially filed a case of domestic violence against her in-laws and the chief metropolitan magistrate's court had fixed November 25 as the date for submission of replies by Gaurav and his parents. Advocate Nandlal Jaiswal, who represented Tripti, said she filed a fresh case in the same court on Wednesday and made Premji and Pratik Kumar parties to the matter as her husband had allegedly left her because of a 'dating allowance' paid to him by Wipro. Tripti alleged this allowance had changed her husband's behaviour towards her. "Dating Allowance" - I've heard some time ago its a new trend in the corporate world, done to encourage inter-personal relationships and even nuptials within the organisation. Something that many companies in the USA used to provide, but this is what happens if you implement in India ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 Come on.... this is really cheap trick of that wife. As if the husband would not have done so if there were no such allowance! BTW, I am sure there would be some rule like if u r married, u r exempted from the dating allowance benefit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 Date with ur wife?? what for, u have got her! OK, that's a debatable thing, let's not get into it. Anyways, even though he would be getting dating allowance for dating his own wife, i hope no one is expecting wipro officials to actually go n check with whom he is spending his allowance on, or whether the date is his wife or someone else. We are slowly turning into America, where responsibilities are pushed on others, and a spill of coffee by ur own mistake can earn u millions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 ^^^ My dear friend linuxguy it is only because of the misuse of India Laws which protect Women. Some laws overprotect women in India, under which even when any woman only complaint in the police station than police take all the family members behind the bars. No matter even the complainant is right or wrong. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
