Justice Mohammad Nawaz determined that based on the prosecution evidence, there was a prima facie case against the accused and that he was likely to tamper with evidence if released on bail.
The Court set aside a divorce decree granted to the husband and imposed ₹10,000 on him as costs on finding that it was the husband who caused mental cruelty to his wife by making unsubstantiated allegations of adultery.
The Delhi High Court recently held that driving a spouse to believe that the marriage dispute is about to end and then unilaterally withdrawing from a mutually agreed divorce settlement agreement is mental cruelty.
The Court was dealing with a case where a minor girl said that she was told to "make additions" in a police complaint since the police would not arrest the accused for a "simple case of slapping."
