#MaritalRape: The impugned provisions in so far as they concern a husband having intercourse with his wife without consent are VIOLATIVE of article 14 and are there STRUCK DOWN: Justice Shakdher

J Shakdher. I have also granted leave to appeal. Resultantly the petitions are disposed off. Fourth writ petition has been kept apart by me. There were issues of personal law in that

I do not agree. There is support to show that impugned exception violates article 14, 19 or 21. There is an intelligible differentia. I am of the view that the challenge cannot sustain: Justice Shankar

I have upheld the validity of 376B and 198B
