I don’t know how the newspaper terms this as a significant judgment in a divorce case, since the HC judgment is specific to the particular case as given in news below. The important part I think is that though HC judgment was completely against the allegations, there are no costs at all (leave exemplary) ordered, or any strictures passed for bringing frivolous and vexatious cases to courts. http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_father-disallowing-children-to-watch-tv-is-not-cruelty-bombay-hc_1393090 Mumbai: In a significant judgment in a divorce case, the Bombay high court has held that decision of a father disallowing children from watching television programmes continuously and forcing them to go to bed early could not be termed as "cruelty".

Brain-deficient police treats live-in relationship as rape!
Here is another instance of action-happy, but brain-deficient Indian police whose policy on any rape complaint by a woman seems to be to lodge FIR, arrest the man accused, and then think of what to do about investigation and putting charges. When lawmakers have made laws like PWDVA (protection of women against domestic violence act), which clearly recognize the occurrence of live-in relationships, and provide reliefs for woman in a live-in relationship; it is clear that a rape charge by a woman in a live-in relationship is nothing but abuse of laws. Indian Supreme Court has recently said that live-in relationships are not illegal. But it surely seems being a man in live-in relationship is clearly illegal, or such man is just waiting for his time to get branded a criminal. … [Read more...] about Brain-deficient police treats live-in relationship as rape!
