V. Bhagat vs D. Bhagat on 19 November, 1993
In V. Bhagat v. D. Bhagat[7] in the divorce petition filed by the
husband the wife filed written statement stating that the husband was
suffering from mental hallucination, that his was a morbid mind for which
he needs expert psychiatric treatment and that he was suffering from
‘paranoid disorder’. In cross-examination her counsel put several
questions to the husband suggesting that several members of his family
including his grandfather were lunatics. This court held that these
assertions cannot but constitute mental cruelty of such a nature that the
husband cannot be asked to live with the wife thereafter. Such pleadings
and questions it was held, are bound to cause immense mental pain and
anguish to the husband. In Vijaykumar Bhate disgusting accusations of
unchastity and indecent familiarity with a neighbour were made in the
written statement. This Court held that the allegations are of such
quality, magnitude and consequence as to cause mental pain, agony and
suffering amounting to the reformulated concept of cruelty in matrimonial
law causing profound and lasting disruption and driving the wife to feel
deeply hurt and reasonably apprehend that it would be dangerous to live
with her husband. In Naveen Kohli the respondent-wife got an advertisement
issued in a national newspaper that her husband was her employee. She got
another news item issued cautioning his business associates to avoid
dealing with him. This was treated as causing mental cruelty to the
husband.
Ramgopal & Anr vs State Of M.P.& Anr on 30 July, 2010
34. While purely a civil matrimonial dispute can be amicably settled by a
Family Court either by itself or by directing the parties to explore the
possibility of settlement through mediation, a complaint under Section 498-
A of the IPC presents difficulty because the said offence is not
compoundable except in the State of Andhra Pradesh where by a State
amendment, it has been made compoundable. Though in Ramgopal & Anr. v.
State of Madhya Pradesh & Anr.[8], this Court requested the Law Commission
and the Government of India to examine whether offence punishable under
Section 498-A of the IPC could be made compoundable, it has not been made
compoundable as yet. The courts direct parties to approach mediation
centres where offences are compoundable. Offence punishable under Section
498-A being a non-compoundable offence, such a course is not followed in
respect thereof. This Court has always adopted a positive approach and
encouraged settlement of matrimonial disputes and discouraged their
escalation.
G.V. Rao vs L.H.V. Prasad & Ors on 6 March, 2000
In this connection, we must refer to the relevant paragraph
from G.V. Rao v. L.H.V. Prasad & Ors.[9], where the complaint appeared to
be the result of matrimonial dispute, while refusing to interfere with the
High Court’s order quashing the complaint, this court made very pertinent
observations, which read thus:
