The Bombay High Court, while hearing a defamation dispute between a brother and sister, stressed that siblings should learn to give up conflicts instead of resorting to litigation. The Court observed that such family disputes only clog the judicial system and destroy precious relationships.
The Bombay High Court quashed an FIR filed by a judicial officer against her husband and in-laws, citing lack of evidence to support claims of obstruction of judicial duties. The timing of the FIR, lodged a month after the alleged incident, suggested it was a reaction to matrimonial discord. The judgment set a precedent against misusing legal avenues for personal vendettas, reinforcing the judiciary’s role in impartial justice.
