FIR Lodged With Sadistic Intent': Punjab & Haryana High Court Imposes 1 Lakh Cost On Woman For Filing Cruelty Case Against 100% Disabled In-Laws

The Punjab and Haryana High Court imposed a ₹1 lakh cost on a woman who filed a cruelty case against her 100 disabled in-laws. The court found that the case was lodged with sadistic intent and lacked genuine merit. The woman had accused her in-laws of severe mistreatment, but the court deemed the allegations baseless and an abuse of legal process. The imposed cost reflects the court's stance against misuse of legal provisions and serves as a deterrent to frivolous litigation.
