Supreme Court said that, acquittal from a false criminal case

From Para 15,

15. It cannot be in doubt that in an appropriate case the unsubstantiated allegation of dowry demand or such other allegation has been made and  the husband and his family members are exposed to criminal litigation and ultimately if it is found that such allegation is unwarranted and without  basis and if that act of the wife itself forms the basis for the husband to allege that mental cruelty has been inflicted on him, certainly, in such  circumstance if a petition for dissolution of marriage is filed on that ground and evidence is tendered before the original court to allege mental cruelty it could well be appreciated for the purpose of dissolving the marriage on that ground.
