Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Sections 498A and 406 IPC in the context of a complaint filed by Monica against her in-laws and husband. The Court held that while no prima facie case was established under Section 498A against the appellants, a prima facie case under Section 406 IPC was made out against the husband. The Court emphasized that the determination of whether allegations are established should occur at a later stage, reaffirming the need for a thorough examination of the facts during trial.
