The Supreme Court has held the probate of Will need not be necessarily filed within three years of the testator's death. The Court added that right to apply for probate accrues when it becomes necessary to do so i.e., when an action hostile to the position established by the Will was taken.

The Supreme Court has held that a physical relationship between two consenting unmarried adults cannot be a ground to draw an adverse impression about the character of the person in that relationship.

A bench of Justices Manmohan and Manoj Misra made the observation while directing the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board to appoint a candidate whose selection as a police constable was set aside due to his involvement in a criminal case arising from a failed romantic relationship.

“Physical relationship between two consenting unmarried adults cannot and should not by itself be a ground to draw an adverse impression about the character of the person in that relationship. There is no law which prohibits two consenting unmarried adults from having a relationship of their choice,” the bench said.

The top court allowed the appeal filed by the candidate and upheld a Telangana High Court single judge’s order directing reconsideration of his appointment to the post of Stipendiary Cadet Trainee Police Constable.

Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board had cancelled his appointment on the ground that a r**e on the promise of marriage case registered against him in 2014 reflected moral turpitude.

The case arose from a relationship with a neighbour and was compounded before a Lok Adalat in 2015 after both parties reached a settlement. No charge under Section 376 IPC was ever pressed.

Referring to the case, the top court said appellant and victim were neighbours and in a relationship for about four years.

“Not every relationship culminates in marriage. Therefore, merely because the relationship did not culminate in marriage is no ground to believe that one party has cheated the other.

“Had it been a case of use of force or extension of threat to force a compromise, the respondent would have been justified in taking a call on the suitability of the appellant for appointment in a disciplined force; however, here there is no material to conclude that the compromise was foisted upon the victim,” the bench said.

The apex court said in criminal jurisprudence, unless the charge is proved in a court of law, there shall be a presumption of innocence.

A woman built a career. Opened a clinic. Chose stability for her child.

And for that, she was called "cruel".
Not anymore.

In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has made it clear that a wife's professional ambitions cannot be labelled as matrimonial cruelty simply because they hurt the sentiments of her husband or in-laws.

The case involved a qualified dentist who wanted to establish her own dental clinic in Ahmedabad, while her husband, an Army officer, wanted her to move with him. Lower courts viewed her decision as cruelty and desertion. The Supreme Court disagreed.

"A woman can no longer be treated as a mere appendage to the household of the husband," the Court observed.

The judges noted that expecting a woman to sacrifice her career, identity, and aspirations to fit traditional ideas of marriage is an outdated mindset that has no place in modern India.
