Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 494 and 498A IPC, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the Appellate Court regarding the appellant's second marriage and the mental and physical torture inflicted on his first wife. The Court emphasized that the concurrent findings of fact by three lower courts should not be disturbed unless there is a manifest error. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the sentences of two years for Section 498A and three years for Section 494 IPC, to run concurrently.
