Bibekananda Mukhopadhyay vs Supriya Chatterjee

The Supreme Court held that the allegations made by the husband did not constitute mental cruelty under Section 27(1)(d) of the Hindu Marriage Act, as the circumstances cited, including the wife's actions during the husband's absence, were not sufficient to establish a case for divorce. The Court affirmed the High Court's findings that the wife's conduct could be reasonably explained and did not amount to cruelty. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed without costs.
