Telangana High Court Rulings on Marriage, Demolition, and POCSO Case
The Telangana High Court made important decisions on three different cases.
In one case, they said that normal family arguments and small problems do not count as mental cruelty and refused to grant a divorce.
In another case, they looked at a request to stop the demolition of houses where many poor families live.
Lastly, they gave bail to a person accused of harming a young girl, saying he had been in jail long enough.
The court is also involved in a case where a daughter accused her parents of sexual abuse.
The parents say the daughter is lying and being influenced by her partner.
The court has asked the police to investigate the parents' complaints carefully and fairly.
The Telangana High Court dismissed an appeal for divorce, ruling that household disputes and arrests do not constitute mental cruelty.
The court took up a case challenging the demolition of a residential colony in Kukatpally, with residents arguing the process is illegal and arbitrary.
Bail was granted to an accused in a POCSO case, considering the duration of incarceration and the completion of key investigations.
The court found that allegations of mental cruelty lacked evidentiary value and were based on suggestions during cross-examination.
Residents of the Indira Nagar colony argued they have lived there peacefully for over two decades and any demolition would be unconstitutional.
