NEW DELHI: The Patna High Court has observed that the use of filthy languageby an estranged couple, who call each other names like bhoot (ghost) and pishach (vampire), does not tantamount to cruelty.
The remarks came from a single-judge bench of Justice Bibek Chaudhuri, who was hearing a petition filed by Sahdeo Gupta and his son Naresh Kumar Gupta, both residents of Bokaro in adjoining Jharkhand.
The father-son duo had challenged an order passed by courts in Bihar’s Nalanda district, on a complaint filed by Naresh Gupta’s divorced wife in Nawada, her native place.
The complainant had filed a case against her husband and father-in-law, way back in 1994, accusing them of physical and material torture to press for the demand for a car in dowry.
