Husband insisting wife to do labour work whether amounts to cruelty punishable U/S 498A of IPC?
submits that the evidence on record would clearly
show that there was no demand of any valuables.
Even PW 5 – Kailas Patil, neighbor of present
appellants, examined by the prosecution, would
show that there was no demand of any valuables.
The evidence would further show that the
appellants are menial labours. Even at the
insistence of the deceased, the deceased and the
appellant no.1 – husband, had started residing
separately. Even, in order to pacify her she was
once kept at her parents' house. If, on some
occasions, the appellants had pressed the deceased
to join them for doing menial work for earning
wages, the same cannot be termed as cruelty.
