Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court declined to entertain a writ petition seeking gender-neutral guidelines for domestic violence complaints and a declaration on the constitutionality of Section 498A of the IPC. The court emphasized its reluctance to interfere in legislative policy matters unless the provisions are unreasonable, mala fide, or lack rational nexus. The court held that the impugned provisions do not warrant judicial interference, reaffirming the principle of judicial restraint in legislative matters.
