The Hon'ble Supreme court in State of HP Vs Nikku Ram & Ors. (1995)6
SCC 219 while interpreting the provisions of section 498A IPC observed that
harassment to constitute cruelty under section 498A explanation(b) must have
the nexus with the demand of dowry and if this is missing the case will fall beyond
the scope of section 498A. The precondition for attracting the provision of this
section is the demand and if the demand is missing and the cruelty is for the sake
of giving torture to the woman without any nexus with the demand then such a
cruelty will not be covered under explanation(b).
