Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave application challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court's judgment, affirming that the High Court's findings were not based on no evidence and thus binding. The Court noted the respondent father's obligation to provide for his daughter's marriage, quantifying the amount to be paid at Rs. 50,000, to be deducted from his salary over ten months. The Court exercised its powers under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, emphasizing the father's responsibility despite the daughter's earning capacity.
