HC deprecates 'trend of harassment via FIRs' in matrimonial disputes

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has strongly condemned the practice of non-resident Indians (NRIs) or their relatives filing domestic violence cases in India with the intention to harass the opposite party.

The court emphasised that such actions are unethical and clog the justice system with vexatious cases, burdening already overworked courts.

The bench, led by Justice Harpreet Singh Brar, referred to this behaviour as a blatant abuse of the legal process, that must be addressed.

2019 case

The bench referred to a case where an FIR was filed in February 2019 under Morinda police station in Punjab's Ropar.
