In this decision, the decisions relied upon by Mr. Yogesh Agarwal i.e., AIR 1948 Nagpur 69 : (1948-49 Cri LJ 52); 1978 ALJ 1002 : (1978 (2) Cri LJ 1661) and AIR 1933 Mad 688 : (34 Cri LJ 951) been specifically overruled and the contention of Sri Agarwal that unless by some positive act a person neglects or refused to maintain, Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure cannot be invoked have also been rejected. It has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that Hon'ble Mr. Justice Bakshi gave his decision since his attention was not drawn to the provisions of second proviso of Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure which provides that the Magistrate may consider the grounds of refusal of the wife to live with her husband if the husband offers to maintain his wife and wife refused to live with him.

Anuradha reported in AIR 1980 Kant 8, wherein it has been held that it is unthinkable in these days that the sexual weakness of the husband is of no consequence and, therefore, cannot amount to cruelty. If a wife does not get proper sexual satisfaction it will lead to depression and frustration. It must be recognised that nothing is more fatal to marriage than disappointments in sexual intercourse.
