<p style="text-align: justify;">The woman, who says she has shifted to her maternal home after this episode, has accused her husband of physical and mental torture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After this matter the woman said she came to her mother&#8217;s house. She accused her husband of mental and physical torture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Her wedding was in February last year with the officer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The woman alleged that her husband threatened that if she disclosed about his deeds to anyone, &#8220;he would put up my nude pictures on internet to spoil my image socially&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Supreme Court on Today dismissed Swiss pharma giant Novartis AG’s plea for getting its blood cancer drug Glivec patented in India.</p>
<p>According to the Indian law, the drug was unable to qualify for a patent, held the apex court. The court expressed that patents can be granted only in the case of genuine inventions.</p>
<p>Novartis has been battling the case since 2006 to win an Indian patent for their adjusted way of Glivec drug for blood cancer treatment.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-53919" title="novartis drug patent plea dismissed" src="http://www.am2pmnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/novartis-drug-patent-plea-dismissed.jpg" alt="novartis drug patent plea dismissed" width="240" height="140" /></p>
<p>Novartis had reached the Supreme court challenging the order of Chennai-based Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB), which had previously refused its appeal against patent department&#8217;s decision on the drug.</p>
<p>The Comptroller General of Patent and Design had refused patent to Glivec on several reasons such as its failure to meet stipulations under sections 3 (d) and 3 (b) of the Indian Patent Law.</p>
<p>The section 3 (d) restricts patents for already known drugs unless the new claims are better in terms of efficacy while Section 3 (b) restricts the patents for products that are against public interest and do not demonstrate enhanced efficacy over existing products.</p>
