In complaints alleging cruelty by a husband or relatives, the court must assess delay with sensitivity to the repeated or continuing nature of the grievance. An allegation of a second marriage also disclosed an offence carrying a longer punishment, so the Section 468 bar was not applied as the High Court assumed.
