Whether failure of husband to give funds to meet domestic expenses amounts to cruelty as per S 498A of IPC?
As against this, learned counsel for the respondent submits that apart
from independent evidence, complainant has not been able to give specific
date and time when the alleged demand of Rs. 2,00,000/- was made for
opening a school. That she was not harassed on that count. That the
complainant has not even mentioned the date and time of any ill-treatment.
According to learned counsel for the respondent, the quarrel between the
couple was because he could not afford domestic expenses due to non
payment of salary. Learned counsel for the respondent further submits that
allegations levelled by the complainant are not contemplated in the definition
of section 498 (A) of Indian Penal Code.
