The allegations against the applicant are that he used to come home under the influence of liquor and used to demand sexual pleasure from his wife. As the applicant being addicted to liquor always used to insist for sexual intercourse and on refusal always used to beat her. The applicant 2 used to suspect on her character. It appears that the wife of applicant could not tolerate such cruelty at the hands of applicant and ultimately she committed suicide. 3.
