Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the appellant's claim under Section 25(iii) of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which allows for annulment of marriage based on fraud. The Court found that the respondent had indeed misrepresented facts to the appellant, leading her to believe she was participating in a music audition rather than entering into a marriage. Consequently, the Court reversed the Calcutta High Court's decision and declared the marriage void, affirming the appellant's right to annulment.
