My younger brother’s widow is accusing me of assault and harassment, claiming I’m blackmailing her for our father’s property. He willed me a house, and my mother’s property is entirely hers, not ancestral. We already gave her a share of our brother’s separate property. What are the likely court rulings in such cases? I need information on recent High Court and Supreme Court decisions on assault accusations and domestic violence claims made under these circumstances.

Indian courts are strict on false accusations and tend to favor the accused when evidence of assault or harassment is lacking. The court will likely examine the credibility of your brother’s widow’s claims, considering the property dispute context. Previous rulings, like the Supreme Court’s “R.K.P. Singh v. State of Bihar” case, emphasize the need for strong evidence in domestic violence cases.
