•Calcutta High Court ruled that baseless allegations risking a husband's job, especially in a disciplined force like CISF, constitute mental cruelty.
•The court granted divorce to a CISF jawan, rejecting his wife's false claims of an illicit affair and attempted murder of their daughter.
•Wife's allegations were found contradictory; she claimed harassment on a date she wasn't at her in-laws' house and provided no evidence for illicit affairs.
•The couple has been living separately for 8 years, with no desire to reconcile, indicating a complete breakdown of marriage.
•This verdict sets a precedent, considering false accusations without evidence as 'cruelty,' providing strong grounds for divorce and protecting careers in disciplined services.
