On April 1, 2026, the Telangana High Court upheld the conviction of a wife for culpable homicide not amounting to murder after she stabbed her husband during a sudden argument, on the spur of the moment. She said that he had threatened and verbally abused her family in filthy language, which led to their fight.
Initially , the trial court sentenced her to four years’ in prison along with a Rs 500 fine, but the high court took a more lenient stance, reducing her sentence to just Rs 500 fine and eliminating any jail time.
