The Gujarat High Court, in a recent judgment, granted anticipatory bail to five relatives accused of instigating a husband to pronounce a talaq.
The bail was granted following a petition filed by the relatives, who argued that they were being targeted for their alleged role in the divorce proceedings.
The court noted that the evidence presented did not establish a strong case for arrest and that the bail would not impede the investigation.
The decision is part of a broader scrutiny of divorce cases in the state, where allegations of coercion and undue influence have been increasingly reported.
The relatives will remain under the court’s supervision while the case proceeds, and the court has directed the police to continue their investigation.
