Annapurna Ganguly vs Dipak Kumar Ganguly on 31 August, 1990
In Tapan Kumar Kundu's case (supra) the husband got his job through the wife's relations and taking advantage of the said position the wife wanted the husband to live separately from his joint family. When the husband refused to do so the wife misbehaved with him and even physically assulted him; even the wife compelled the husband to tender resignation in service by using force through her brother. The Court held that such circumstances constituted cruelty as the husband suffered physically and mentally from wrong treatment meted out to him by the wife.
