The victim was staying all alone with her in-laws. In such circumstances, the Court noticed that it was the duty of the appellant, being the mother-in-law and her family to take care of her daughter-in-law, rather than harassing and\/or torturing and\/or meting out cruelty to her daughter-in-law regarding jewels or on other issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding the mother-in-law to be guilty for the offence under Section 498A of IPC, the Court further noticed that just because the incident is of the year 2006 and a long time has passed in concluding the trial and\/or deciding the appeal by the High Court, is no ground not to impose the punishment and\/or to impose the sentence already undergone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, considering the fact that the incident is of the year 2006 and at present the appellant was 80 years old, as a mitigating circumstance, the Court reduced the sentence from one year R.I. to three months R.I.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Meera v.
