U.Shree v U Srinivas 11.12.2012 JT 2012 (12) SC 358

Sometimes, after filing complaints against Husband, wife side gives information in press.

Newspaper publish such allegations contained in FIR of wife.

This damages public reputation of Husband and his relatives. Acrimony develops between parties.

Court said that this is "Mental Cruelty to husband" and it is good ground for granting divorce in favor of husband.
