Legal Experts India

The Kerala High Court has granted anticipatory bail to two lawyers accused of ra**ng their client when she had approached one of them to seek legal assistance in filing her divorce. Pertinently, while granting bail the bench was of the opinion that there is nothing in law that indicates that anticipatory bail cannot be granted for a serious offence such as r**e. The petitioners herein were alleged of the offences under Sections 376, 354, 120B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Civil Appeal No.4296 of 2023.

“It is obvious that if the wife insists to stay with the husband and without any extraneous reason or official cause, if husband refuses to keep her it cannot be said to be a cruelty by the wife towards the husband for such insistence. During the matrimonial ties the reciprocal respect and regard to each other and the company is necessary. In absence thereof any forceful imposition of condition by either side may lead to a matrimonial disruption.”
