once she left the husband house then any injury caused afterwards has no meaning also the medical is delayed so immediate cause of injury could be different provoking anybody to use abusive words can't be proven as cruelty

Answer #4

house: Any abusive messages exchanged after the wife has already left the matrimonial home generally cannot be treated as proof of past cruelty. For offences like 498A IPC or domestic violence, the prosecution must show continuous cruelty during cohabitation. If the chats were sent after separation, especially if they were provoked or mutual, courts usually treat them as subsequent conduct and not as the cause of cruelty. Such chats may at best show strained relations, but they do not by themselves establish cruelty. Regarding delayed medical examination: A medical report prepared after three days showing only one minor/simple injury has weak evidentiary value, particularly when: the wife stayed at the police station for several hours without lodging a complaint, no injury was noticed or recorded at that time,
