Family Court Must Consider WhatsApp Chat Indicating Adultery Even Without Section 65-B Certificate: Allahabad HC Sets Aside Maintenance.
The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad has set aside a maintenance order, observing that a Family Court possesses the discretion to receive any evidence that assists in effectively adjudicating a dispute, irrespective of its strict admissibility under the Indian Evidence Act.
The Single Judge Bench of Justice Madan Pal Singh, while allowing a criminal revision, held that the trial court erred in summarily ignoring WhatsApp chats alleging adultery solely due to the absence of a certificate under Section 65-B of the Indian Evidence Act.
