To prove mental cruelty of a spouse on the other spouse, it depends on the facts and circumstances for each case. It differs for each case.

The Apex Court noted that wife not attending the divorce proceedings and coercing husband to stay in a dead marriage is mental cruelty and the court exercised power under Article 142 of the Constitution of India and dissolved their marriage though there were no grounds for divorce according to the facts of the case.

The husband apprehended that it would be injurious for him to stay with his wife as the wife tortured him mentally and the court dissolved their marriage.

The wife was purposely trying to make her life and life if husband miserable by causing mental cruelty on husband and so the court dissolved the marriage under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

 Allegation placed on husband by wife amounted to mental cruelty and dissolved their marriage as per Section 13 (1) (ia), Hindu Marriage Act.

Filing complaint against the husband by the wife under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and thereafter, getting him arrested along with imprisoned for a period of 7 days caused mental cruelty to the husband and the court dissolved their marriage as per Section 10 (1)(x), Indian Divorce Act, 1869.

Mental cruelty can cause more injury than physical cruelty and dissolved the marriage between them.

The wife had filed a false complaint against husband and family along with defaming him which amounted to mental cruelty thereby granting divorce and annulment of marriage under Section 13 (1) (i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

The teasing of the husband by wife for being overweight was causing mental cruelty to husband and marriage was dissolved.

Decision only by the wife of not having a child was amounting to mental cruelty to husband and the court granted a dissolution of marriage.

Mental cruelty is that which creates mental agony or mental suffering in the spouse in such a manner that it breaks the bond between a husband and wife making it very difficult to live with the other spouse.

पुलिस द्वारा वाहन से चाबी निकालना गैरकानूनी है। अगर कोई पुलिसकर्मी ऐसा करता है तो वह पुलिस विभाग और मोटर वाहन एक्ट द्वारा जारी किए गए दिशानिर्देशों का उल्लंघन कर रहा है।

किसी भी पुलिसकर्मी को आपके वाहन की चाबी निकालने का अधिकार नहीं है। पुलिस विभाग में दायर सूचना का अधिकार (आरटीआई) के तहत मिली जानकारी के अनुसार कोई भी पुलिसकर्मी चाहे वह किसी भी रैंक का हो, किसी भी दोपहिया, तिपहिया या चारपहिया वाहन की चाबी नहीं निकल सकता है।

नए मोटर वाहन एक्ट 2019 में ये निर्देश दिया गया है कि सिर्फ सहायक सब-इंस्पेक्टर (एएसआई) या उससे ऊपर के रैंक के ट्रैफिक पुलिस अधिकारी ही ट्रैफिक उल्लंघन के लिए चालान या नोटिस देने के लिए अधिकृत हैं। एएसआई (वन-स्टार), सब-इंस्पेक्टर (टू-स्टार) और इंस्पेक्टर (थ्री-स्टार) रैंक के अधिकारी केवल स्पॉट जुर्माना जमा करने के लिए अधिकृत हैं।

अगर ट्रैफिक पुलिस वाले चेकिंग के नाम पर आपसे बदसलूकी करते हैं या गाली गाली-गलौज या मारपीट करते हैं तो आप इसके खिलाफ नजदीकी पुलिस स्टेशन में शिकायत कर सकते हैं या 100 नंबर पर डायल कर पुलिस हेल्पलाइन में इसकी शिकायत कर सकते हैं।

यदि इसपर भी कार्रवाई नहीं हो तो मामले को हाईकोर्ट में ले जा सकते हैं। पुलिस वाले के खिलाफ नागरिक और मानवाधिकार हनन का केस डालिये। इससे उक्त पुलिसकर्मी ससपेंड हो सकता है और उसे बचने वाले पुलिस अधिकारीयों पर भी कार्रवाई हो सकती है।

हमेशा ध्यान रखें की मोटर वाहन एक्ट पुलिसकर्मी को गुंडा गर्दी करने का अधिकार नहीं देता। वो सिर्फ चलन काट सकते हैं और गाड़ी जब्त कर सकते हैं। पुलिसकर्मी सिर्फ हाथ से इशारा कर गाड़ी रुकवा सकते हैं। अगर कोई वाहन नहीं रोकता है तो उसके खिलाफ उचित कार्रवाई करने का अधिकार है। पुलिसकर्मी को प्रदूषण स्तर का सर्टिफिकेट चेक करने का अधिकार है।
