Rupa Ashok Hurra vs Ashok G. Hurra on 9 September, 1996

40. Learned Advocate for the wife submitted that even otherwise also, learned single Judge could not have passed a decree of divorce in the instant case. He submitted that in a Civil Application filed by the husband in the First Appeal from which this L.P.A. arose, this Court (Coram: D.G. Karia, J.) by judgment and order dated 17th February 1995, held that the ratio laid down in the case of V. Bhagat v. D. Bhagat (supra) cannot be made applicable to the instant case and powers under Article 142 of the Constitution cannot be exercised. An attempt was made by the husband by making a request to the Court to dissolve the marriage, but learned single Judge (D.G. Karia, J.) rejected the application and the decision is carried to the Apex Court. It is, therefore, proper for this Court not to say anything in this respect.

Bharat Bhushan Sharma vs Pratibha on 14 March, 2007

16. There is nothing in the examination-in-chief of the appellant that satisfies this requirement. The allegations and statement against the respondent herself are totally vague and not specific. The instance concerning the appellant's father on 15.4.2000 cannot by itself be labelled as a cruel treatment by the respondent-wife of the appellant-husband. Even in Bhagat v. Bhagat, the Hon'ble Supreme Court did not merely rely on averments made in the written statement of the wife, but the fact that she had filed an additional written statement repeating these allegations. Further, questions were put to the husband while he was in the witness box to suggest that "the petitioner has lost his normal mental health, that he is a mental patient requiring expert psychological treatment and above all to brand him and all the members of his family including his grand-father as lunatics". The Court concluded that the wife was "going far beyond the reasonable limits of her defense" and that "these assertions cannot but constitute mental cruelty".
