U.SUVETHA vs STATE BY INSP.OF POLICE

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of 'relative of husband of a woman' under Section 498A IPC, determining whether a 'girlfriend' of the husband qualifies as such. The Court held that the term should not be extended to include a girlfriend, as the allegations in the FIR did not establish an offence under Section 498A. Consequently, the application for discharge was upheld, and the High Court's dismissal of the revision application was set aside.
