Raman Kapadia is a 26 year old man working in the Multinational company by the name of Mark n Louis situated in Mysore.

Dimple Sood is a 24 year old girl is from a very wealthy and high class family pursuing her post graduation in business studies from a highly reputed institution New Delhi. During her training in the Mark n Louis, Raman and dimple came across each other and became friends and as well as good colleagues. They started meeting quit often and on a regular basis and subsequently in the course of their regular meetings they both were attracted towards each other. Due to their hectic work schedule they were unable to give time to each other , so they mutually decided to rent an apartment in that region only and decided to live together in order to give time to each other and their work as well on. During his college and professional life Raman was famous for his flamboyance. His past relationships were always a matter of discussions among his friends and colleagues. But owing to his serious relationship towards Dimple he confessed his past to her and Dimple being an understanding partner told Raman that , I know everyone has a past and I am proud of you that you are honest and true to me. After all the discussions they understood each other well and started to live together. On 2nd February, 2008 , they started to live together and with this four months passed . As the time passed there were many issues which had arisen between the two of them. Dimple being from a wealthy family and who always led a lavish life started to face difficulties in living in the small apartment and Raman being from a middle class family had a limited salary could not met all the additional expenses of dimple . Raman liked his place to be neat and clean and liked to see everything in order but Dimple did not do the same and therefore this was another issue of the quarrel between them which caused a high intensity of frustration and had started to build a disinterest towards each other. On 11th May, Raman was heading to his apartment when he saw dimple in a caf near to the office premises with Raj Oberoi, under whom she was training. Raj had a superior post than him, but he didnt pay much attention and headed to his apartment. But that night dimple did not return back home. Raman tried to call her but her mobile phone was switched off. The next day when dimple returned back she told him that she had a minor accident last night and had stayed at Sameeras house one of her friend. On the night of 13th May, when she again came late to the apartment Raman suspected her of cheating on him, but he thought it to be a co-incidence. On being asked, she told him that her car broke down and therefore she was late. Thereafter Raman saw Dimple and Raj many times together at shopping complex, amusement parks, restaurants, etc and coming late at night became quite often. Though Raman could not directly allege her of any betrayal, but he became frustrated day by day. He suffered mental harassment due to change in Dimples behavior and attitude towards him. One night, as usual Dimple came very late at night, and hot conversations exchanged between them. That day he was drunk. He slapped and hit her and even tried to have forceful sexual intercourse with her. Dimple decided to leave his apartment and did so the same day and shifted back to her old place. On 18th June she went to her doctor for treatment of the scars given by Raman and a routine checkup as well. In the medical report it was found that she had a severe injury and scars could not be removed easily. So she sued Raman for attempt to rape, domestic violence and maintenance of Rs. 5,000 / month. She filed a petition on 21st June before the Family Court at Mysore. Family Court considered the issues and granted relief in favour of Dimple. Aggrieved by the judgement, the defendant moved to Chennai High Court, which upheld the Family Court verdict. Defendant finally moved to SC against the judgment of Family Court. Hence this Appeal.
