MUMBAI: Levelling baseless allegations of adultery against one's wife amounted to mental cruelty, said the Bombay high court while pronouncing a city resident guilty of the charge.
Justice A R Joshi offered the husband, Nilesh Chauhan, two options: pay Rs 1 lakh as compensation or go to jail.
"Going through the evidence presented by the prosecution witnesses and the allegations made against (the wife), it is definitely a case of mental cruelty on (her)," said the judge. "Needless to say, the conduct of the applicant comes within the purview of Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, so far as mental cruelty is concerned."
