Overview
- The 41-year-old husband appeals a 2024 Ahmedabad family-court order that found he failed to prove cruelty or desertion.
- He alleges his wife brought multiple stray dogs into a no-pets flat, forced him to care for them, and arranged a 2007 radio prank implying infidelity.
- He claims the stress led to health problems, while the wife denies cruelty, says he deserted her, and has produced photos showing him affectionate with the dogs.
- During High Court proceedings, judges discussed possible settlement terms, with the husband offering Rs 15 lakh and the wife seeking Rs 2 crore.
- The case, which also references neighborhood friction and a 2008 police complaint tied to the dogs, has been adjourned for further hearing on December 1.
