Delhi High Court flagged an emerging trend of complainants adding rape and other sexual misconduct allegations in matrimonial disputes to pressure in-laws into hefty settlements, observing that such accusations are increasingly being used to compel compromise after the Arnesh Kumar ruling.
The Delhi High Court dismissed Ravi Kumar’s review petition, imposing a ₹10,000 fine for disrespectful language against a judge. The bench found no merit in Kumar’s claims regarding errors in a previous ruling about a recruitment matter at ISRO, emphasizing reviews should not reargue cases. Kumar was criticized for cherry-picking judgment excerpts.
