Several entries (e.g., Indresh Gopal Kohli VS Anita - 2019 0 Supreme(UK) 434, Raghuveer Kaintura VS Meera Kaintura - 2019 0 Supreme(UK) 444, Anita Gaur VS Rajesh Gaur - 2020 0 Supreme(UK) 239, Anita Gaur VS Rajesh Gaur - 2020 0 Supreme(UK) 363) emphasize that cruelty can never be precisely defined, citing the case as a precedent for broad or flexible interpretation.
Multiple references to the case’s observations about cruelty and false complaints are consistent, indicating that the case is considered a significant authority on those issues, rather than being overruled or criticized.
Uncertain / Ambiguous Treatment:
Many entries simply cite the case without indicating how it was treated (e.g., "relying on," "observed that," "held as follows"). Without explicit language indicating criticism, overruling, or negative treatment, treatment remains unclear.
The absence of any explicit mention of overruling, criticism, or negative treatment suggests that the case is still considered good law within the context of these references, but this cannot be definitively concluded based solely on the list.
All references to the case of Raj Talreja vs. Kavita Talreja (AIR 2017 SC 2138) are positive or neutral, with no explicit indication that the case has been overruled or criticized. Therefore, treatment appears to be consistent with respect and reliance, but without explicit judicial commentary, treatment remains uncertain.
Cases like Rita VS Jai Solanki - Current Civil Cases (2017), Rita VS Jai Solanki - 2017 0 Supreme(Del) 2038, Sanjay Kumar VS Sudha Devi - 2018 0 Supreme(Jhk) 1099, and others that cite the case without mention of subsequent negative treatment are ambiguous in treatment status.
Since the list does not include any explicit mention of overruling, reversal, or disapproval, the overall treatment of the case appears to be intact, but the possibility of subtle criticism or limited disapproval cannot be ruled out without further context.
