"WHERE WOULD ONE GO TO SATISFY SEXUAL URGES IF NOT THEIR PARTNER,' SAYS COURT

NEW DELHI The Allahabad High Court recently quashed dowry charges against Pranjal Shukla, concluding that the allegations stemmed more from personal disputes than legitimate claims of harassment.

Justice Anish Kumar Gupta emphasized that in a "morally civilized society," partners should naturally fulfill each other's physical and sexual needs.

The case against Shukla and two co-accused was dismissed after the court found insufficient evidence in the FIR and witness statements to support the dowry harassment claims. The court highlighted that the primary issues revolved around the couple's sexual relationship, particularly disagreements over the wife's unwillingness to engage in certain activities, which were mischaracterized as dowry demands.
