Krishna Bhatacharjee vs Sarathi Choudhury And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's claim for Stridhan under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 was improperly dismissed on the grounds of being a non-aggrieved person and limitation. The Court emphasized that a sensitive approach is required in such cases, and that courts must thoroughly deliberate on the issues raised before dismissing petitions. The judgment reinforced the need for courts to ensure that aggrieved persons under the 2005 Act are not denied justice due to procedural technicalities.
