Considering his acquittals in criminal cases filed by the wife and other evidence, a bench of the high court, comprising Justices Moushumi Bhattacharya and BR Madhusudhan Rao, noted that false criminal allegations constituted mental cruelty and granted him divorce on June 23, 2025.
Though they were married for 42 years, the couple stayed together for just eight years.
The couple was also involved in prolonged litigation that included property disputes initiated by their son. The 70-year-old, arguing his case in the family court, claimed that his wife had filed multiple dowry harassment cases against him and his family, forcing him to live apart and causing prolonged mental trauma.
However, the family court dismissed his petition, observing that he did not take adequate steps to reconcile with her or seek restitution of conjugal rights.

When it was challenged in the HC, the judges noted that his wife failed to provide convincing evidence of her willingness to reunite, and her claims were not supported beyond her testimony. The HC held that the husband's acquittals in two separate dowry harassment cases — including one as recent as 2016 — weakened the credibility of her accusations and established a pattern of harassment by the wife.
Referring to the acquittals, the bench observed that acquittal assumes significance in light of the allegations made by her, and it casts a shadow on the truth of her allegations. His mother's evidence was also sufficient to conclude they made efforts to bring her back.

'Chinese blessing scam': Two arrested in Australia for scamming elderly Asian women; rob them of cash, jewellery
Representative image credits: NSW police force Two people were arrested in Australia in connection with a 'Chinese blessing scam' that defrauded a 77-year-old woman in Sydney out of cash and jewellery worth 130,000 Australian dollars (about $85,000 USD). These arrests come amid a broader investigation into a wave of similar scams, which have been reported globally for the past 25 years in countries including the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand. A 63-year-old woman was arrested at Sydney International Airport on Thursday following an in-depth investigation by Strike Force Sentinel, a special unit formed in April to investigate the scam. The following day, her alleged accomplice, also 63, was taken into custody at Brisbane Airport as he attempted to board a flight to China. Authorities say he is likely to face charges soon. These scams commonly target elderly Asian women. Victims are typically led to someone posing as a spiritual healer, who instructs them to place their money and valuables into a bag. They are then told not to open the bag for several weeks or even months. When they finally do, they find the contents missing. 'It's a robbery by stealth. These offenders swarm these vulnerable victims, usually Asian, older females.

Strike force sentinel has received around 80 reports involving the alleged theft of 3 million Australian dollars ($2 million USD). Police believe about 50 people are involved in the scam network, with 25 identified by name and 11 arrest warrants issued so far. Surveillance footage has also captured 25 other suspects taking part. Magee noted that the crime is likely 'profoundly underreported,' with many victims feeling embarrassed or ashamed. He believes the real number of cases could be double the current estimates. A similar case occurred in New Zealand last year, where three Chinese nationals were arrested while trying to leave the country. Police said they arrived in October and, within days, targeted elderly victims, stealing around 30,000 New Zealand dollars ($18,000 USD) in cash and jewellery. NSW Police are urging community members to be cautious of strangers asking for directions to herbal doctors or spiritual healers, and advised people not to bring strangers home, not to hand over valuables, and never to participate in any ritual involving the 'blessing' of money or jewellery.

Bank fraud case: Fresh ED summons to Tollywood producer Allu Aravind in Rs 101 crore; land deal with prime accused under probe
HYDERABAD: In a major development in the Rs 101.4 crore Ramakrishna Electronics bank fraud case, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned prominent Tollywood film producer Allu Aravind to appear next week. The move comes after Aravind reportedly failed to submit key financial documents during his earlier appearance before the agency. Aravind was first questioned by the ED on June 2 regarding suspicious financial links to Ravi Kumar Vemula, a director in Ramakrishna Electronics and Ramakrishna Teletronics Private Ltd (RTPL) and prime accused in the case. According to sources, investigators are still determining whether Aravind's involvement in land and financial transactions with the accused was deliberate or incidental. Allu Arvind told TOI that the transaction under scrutiny was minor and that he is fully cooperating with the ED by providing all necessary information.
