The Supreme Court made a special effort on Wednesday to put an end to a two-decade-old legal battle between an Andhra Pradesh-based estranged couple, and succeeded as the woman agreed to withdraw the plea seeking enhancement of jail term for her husband in a dowry harassment case.
Chief Justice N.V. Ramana, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, conversed with the woman in Telugu, as she appeared not to be very confident in in English. He then explained the conversation to Justice Surya Kant who was also on the bench.
With an emphasis on resolving the matter, the bench sought the presence of the warring couple for an interaction while hearing the matter virtually. In it, the Chief Justice explained the woman that if your husband goes to jail, you will lose the monthly compensation as he will lose his job .
