Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the FIR against the respondents was justified, as the appellant had entered into a registered divorce agreement under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized that the appellant, being an advocate, was aware of the legal implications of the divorce and the receipt of permanent alimony. The Court found no merit in the appellant's complaint filed after a significant delay of ten years, affirming the High Court's ruling and dismissing the appeal.
