The Supreme Court of India has quashed a domestic violence case filed by a woman against her estranged husband, rejecting her claim for ₹170 crore worth of gold jewelry and biscuits. The court, led by Justices Rajesh Bindal and Vijay Bishnoi, found the allegations vague and lacking in specific details, stating that such cases must be 'nipped in the bud' to prevent misuse of legal processes. The woman's assertion that she was promised ₹120 crore in jewelry and ₹50 crore in gold biscuits was deemed unsubstantiated, as it was not included in the formal settlement agreement. The court criticized the timing of the complaint, which was filed only after the couple had begun divorce proceedings, suggesting it was an 'afterthought' to sustain litigation. The Supreme Court highlighted the importance of adhering to settlement agreements, ruling that once parties agree to a settlement, they cannot withdraw without valid grounds. Ultimately, the court invoked its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to dissolve the marriage, noting that the relationship had become 'emotionally dead' and issuing directives for the final settlement of financial terms between the parties.
