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.

22-YEAR-OLD YOUTH MARRIES STEPMOM IN MUZAFFARNAGAR DISTRICT, FACES THE WRATH OF THE VILLAGERS!!
A day after Muslim clerics declared the marriage of a 22-year-old youth with his divorced step-mother as illegal and anti-Islamic, villagers on Tuesday banned the entry of the couple in Gangeru village in the district.
The villagers also decided a social boycott of the couple, which has fled the village after an attack on them. The marriage has led to tension in the village following a clash in which six people, including four women, were injured. Security has been beefed up in the village to avoid any untoward incident, police said.
Earlier, the clerics had declared the marriage as null and void, and said such relationships would be treated as rape and the culprits will be punished as per Islamic law.
