Pramod RS v. State of Karnataka, 2023 SCC OnLine Kar 26, decided on 02-06-2023]

FIR by wife under section 498 A of IPC does not lose impact just because the case has been filed after the husband sent notice for divorce.

There cannot be a declaration of law that once the divorce notice is sent by the husband, the complaint registered by the wife thereafter loses its significance.
