In a significant ruling on the scope of recalling witnesses, the Delhi High Court has declined a plea seeking fresh testimony by a complainant in a matrimonial cruelty case.

Her examination-in-chief was recorded twice-in 2012 and 2014-before the trial court in Bengaluru. However, she did not appear for cross-examination and was eventually dropped as a witness in 2025.
