Decided On March 10, 2005
SAVITABEN SOMABHAI BHATIYA Appellant
V/S
State Of Gujarat And Ors.. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) A brief reference to the factual position would suffice because essentially the dispute has to be adjudicated with reference to scope and ambit of Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short the Code).

(3.) The case at hand according to appellant is a classic example of the inadequacies of law in protecting a woman who unwittingly entered into relationships with a married man.
