IT'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST 'SHOCKING' CASES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

A court in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday ordered the estranged husband of a woman to pay up his electricity bill while hearing a domestic violence case.

Sushma, who has filed a case against her husband Yogendra under the Domestic Violence (Prevention) Act, complained to the court that she had been living without power because of his defaulting electricity bills.

She said she has been living separately in the house in Muzaffarnagar, but UP Power Department officials were unwilling to give her a new connection until the bills were cleared.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Piyush Pandey then directed Yogendra to pay his bills.
