The Allahabad High Court has held that a named alleged co-adulterer must be heard before an adverse finding of adultery, and asked the Chief Justice to consider rules for notice in Section 125 CrPC maintenance proceedings. The adultery allegation is untested.
The Supreme Court ruled that the right to privacy under Article 21 cannot shield a spouse accused of adultery from disclosing mobile call records or hotel stay details. The Court said such evidence may be accessed to prove allegations of adultery in matrimonial disputes.
