Respected Sir Hemant ji,
According to you having two surname of a lady is offence,
2. Similarly, a Woman "AFTER" marriage CANNOT continue using her "maiden surname" (her fathers surname). She is compulsorily bound by Law (and now by the latest HC order) to change her old maiden surname INTO her latest married surname (which happens by legal default).
There is no provision under ANY Indian law to retain two different surnames. IT is a legal offfence of intentional "Misrepresentation" and "Fraud", when done so for purposes of Passport, Ration Card, Pan card, Bank account, Business registrations etc...
But at thread :
https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/Same-person-dual-name--372731.asp#.VXLUltKqqkp
it is said :
Murder is a crime because INDIAN PENAL CODE lays so.Had it not been so, murder could not be said to be a crime.
I am not aware of any law that lays 'keeping or to be known by two names' is a crime.
Then who shall tell the law?
I am who says it to be not a crime or one who claims it to be a crime.
Then you are burdened to show me law that makes it crime.
Please change or confirm your previous opinion, if possible, it will enlighten the knowledge of every member of fourm.
I am not expert so I can not write the said thing on the thread : https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/Same-person-dual-name--372731.asp#.VXLUltKqqkp
So please make your comments/opinion on the above thread also, so law may be clear to all members of the forum once more on this point.
Thanks and with Respect.
