Order 6 Rule 17 CPC | Subsequent Cruelty Events Must Be Pleaded in Divorce Petitions : MP HC Allows Amendment for 498A FIR
MP High Court rules that divorce petitions must allow amendments under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC to include subsequent cruelty events, such as a 498A IPC FIR filed during pendency. The court held that denying such amendments would prejudice the petitioner's case, reinforcing the principle that matrimonial cruelty must be assessed holistically, including post-filing incidents.
