Rs 17 crore, Innova demand: Delhi High Court denies full relief to US doctor in marital case

The Delhi High Court has partially dismissed criminal charges against a US-based doctor in a marital dispute, finding the allegations of criminal breach of trust unsupported. However, it ruled out quashing proceedings related to the wife's allegations of cruelty, as they were specific enough. Justice Madhu Jain stated that if the allegations were accepted at face value, they revealed a case of cruelty and harassment.

The woman alleged repeated insults, demands for an Innova vehicle and money, a demand of approximately Rs 16-17 crore for purchasing land and establishing a hospital, and acts of physical and sexual cruelty. The court noted that the husband's absence from India may have to be excluded to consider the limitation period for the crime of criminal breach of trust.
