498A: Wife's plaint costs husband judge post

Cruelty to a woman at her matrimonial home as per a complaint under Section 498A of IPC annulled her advocate husband’s selection as a district judge. The SC said that the Madhya Pradesh high court committed no mistake in rescinding his selection on the ground of pendency of the criminal case. Subsequent acquittal of the advocate did not help his case either. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/2hJjhqE
