Summary: Crl.A. No. 856/2011 – Shakuntala Devappa v. D.B. Siddalingaiah The Supreme Court dismissed Shakuntala Devappa's appeal on September 1, 2021, declining to entertain it under Article 136 of the Constitution. The appeal challenged a 2010 High Court of Karnataka order that had remitted the matter to trial court with directions for the respondent-complainant to examine his wife. The Court found no grounds for intervention and allowed the appellant to raise all pleas before the trial court. Consequently, the stay previously granted on August 26, 2010 was vacated.
