Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals arising from orders of the High Court dismissing custody and divorce matters for default. The Court noted that the respondent's earlier divorce from his first wife was deemed void by an Indian court, which held that the US divorce decree was not binding. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the appellant had no case on merits and dismissing the appeals.
