In a strongly worded judgment, Justice Arun Monga of the Delhi High Court criticized a woman for grossly misusing legal provisions to harass her elderly in-laws out of revenge.
The court noted that even after remarrying, the woman continued to drag her deceased husband’s aged parents into unnecessary court proceedings.
Such actions, Justice Monga observed, not only subjected the old couple to unwarranted legal battles but also caused them deep public humiliation.
The court found that her repeated complaints were not driven by any genuine grievance but were instead an abuse of the legal system, motivated by malice rather than the pursuit of justice.
Lower Court’s Order Quashed
Earlier, a lower court had taken cognizance of the woman’s complaint and issued summons to her in-laws under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
However, the High Court, upon reviewing the matter, overturned that decision. Justice Monga made it clear that the woman’s petition was nothing more than harassment presented under the guise of lawful proceedings.
Judicial Time Wasted
The High Court further reprimanded the woman for wasting the judiciary’s valuable time, which could have been used to hear cases of genuine victims seeking relief.
Justice Monga underlined that such conduct was not only harmful to the people directly targeted but also to the larger credibility and efficiency of the judicial system.
This ruling stands as a stern reminder that courts will not tolerate the misuse of legal provisions for personal vendettas.
Justice is meant to protect the vulnerable, not to be twisted into a weapon of harassment. The verdict reinforces that those who attempt to exploit the law for selfish motives will face strict judicial scrutiny and consequences.
