Marjina Begum and Anr. v. State of Assam
Case brief
What is this about?
The Gauhati High Court disposed of a petition by the husband and wife for interim bail in a Section 498A IPC case. Finding the incident constituted simple marital assault rather than cruelty within Section 498A, the court held custodial detention unwarranted and made the interim bail absolute.
What did the court decide?
The interim bail granted earlier was made absolute; the case diary was directed to be returned.
