A bench comprising justices B.R. Gavai and Vikram Nath said: "Undisputedly, the marriage between the appellant No.1 and PW-1 (wife) has been found to be null and void. As such, the conviction under Section 498-A IPC would not be sustainable in view of the judgment of this court in the case Shivcharan Lal Verma's case supra."
