No One Above The Law: Supreme Court Held In The Matrimonial Dispute Involving IPS Officer

The Supreme Court asserted that "Nobody is Above the Law" during a marital dispute between a businessman and his estranged wife, an IPS officer.

The court’s observation came after the husband’s counsel expressed concerns that his client might suffer lifelong consequences due to the estranged wife’s influential position in the police.

Justices urged both parties to settle amicably, criticizing the husband for focusing on damaging his wife's career rather than resolving their issues.

The Supreme Court could not compel the parties to settle if they were unwilling but suggested they should resolve their disputes without further court intervention.

Lawyers for both sides agreed to seek an amicable resolution, with a follow-up hearing scheduled in two weeks.
