At the same time, it is equally important that any party to the litigation should not carry the impression that one who violates the interim order is entitled to a long rope. The provision also has a very important role to play in upholding the rule of law, the majesty of the Court, and ensuring the credibility of the Court order.”Second Wife Can't Maintain Complaint Against Husband And In-Laws U/S 498A IPC: Karnataka High Court Case Title: Kantharaju And State of KarnatakaCase No: CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION NO. 1372 OF 2019Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Kar) 276The Karnataka High Court has said that a complaint under Section 498-A (cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code, filed by the second wife against the husband and her in-laws is not maintainable.A single judge bench of Justice S Rachaiah allowed the petition filed by one Kantharaju and set aside the conviction order passed by the trial court and the revision court convicting him for section 498-A on the complaint filed by his second wife.Karnataka High Court Reverses Order Granting Freedom Fighters' Pension To 89-Yrs Old Widow Case Title: State of Karnataka & Others And SavantrewwaCase No. WA No 100210/2022Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Kar) 277The Karnataka High Court has set aside the order of a Single bench which directed State authorities to grant freedom fighters’ pension together with all arrears to an 89-year-old widow.A division bench of Justice R Devdas and Justice Rajesh Rai K sitting at Dharwad allowed the State's appeal observing, “In the year 2014 the guidelines issued by the Central Government in respect of the disbursement of 'Central Government Sanman Pension Scheme' which was followed by the State Government also, passed an order that ‘No pension shall be sanctioned in the name of freedom fighter after his/her death even his/her matter was under examination’.
