Justice Kant cautioned the husband not to renege on the promise to treat his wife with respect and asked him to withdraw all cases against his wife, including the divorce petition.

The Chief Justice told senior advocate Anjana Prakash, appearing for the husband, “File an affidavit for withdrawing cases.But if the husband misbehaves, we will send him back to jail.We are keeping the case pending”.The husband said he will not ill-treat her and live with her peacefully.The woman, emphasizing on a condition for settlement, said “Bus torture na kare (he should not torture me)”.The bench warned him, “If it is drama for bail, we will not leave”.
