RAJESH BURMANN vs MITUL CHATTERJEE (BARMAN)

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the matrimonial dispute between Rajesh Burman and Mitul Chatterjee under Section 27 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The Court held that the allegations of domestic violence under Sections 498A, 325, 406, and 506 IPC were unfounded, as the injuries sustained by the wife were determined to be accidental. The Court emphasized the need for credible evidence in domestic violence claims and allowed the appeal, thereby quashing the criminal proceedings against the appellant-husband.
