High Court warns against using divorce decree for filing criminal cases

The High Court clarified that a divorce decree cannot be used as a weapon to file multiple criminal cases against a wife and her family. A two-judge bench ordered the dismissal of the petition filed by a 31-year-old husband, who sought the cancellation of the family court-approved divorce decree. The court warned that filing false cases against the wife or her family for malice would be considered cruel. The court also directed that no unnecessary complaints or cases should be filed against the wife or her family in the future.
