***************************************************************
In this session, Mr. Sandeep Khatri, expert faculty at Drishti Judiciary, breaks down a landmark Supreme Court judgment in Dr. Lokesh B.H. & Ors. v. State of Karnataka & Anr. (2026 INSC 784). Delivered by a Division Bench comprising Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh, the ruling significantly broadens the scope of Section 498A IPC (now Section 85 BNS) to cover cruelty in live-in relationships that qualify as "relationships in the nature of marriage" between consenting adults with an established intent to marry. The session explores the Court's rejection of a strict literal interpretation in favor of a purposive construction to advance social welfare legislation. It covers the constitutional mandate under Article 14, the key distinction between civil remedies under the Domestic Violence Act (2005) and criminal liability under Section 498A IPC, procedural safeguards against arbitrary arrest under Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, and why the Supreme Court refused to quash the criminal proceedings against the accused.
This comprehensive analysis is a must-watch for all judicial services, CLAT PG, and legal entrance exam aspirants seeking to master the conceptual application of criminal jurisprudence, statutory interpretation, gender justice laws, and recent judicial updates.
