Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Family Court correctly found no wrongdoing by the Respondent post-decree of restitution of conjugal rights, allowing him to seek divorce under Section 13(1A)(ii) of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Court, exercising its discretion under Article 136 of the Constitution, chose not to interfere with the High Court's findings. The appeal was dismissed, and all interim orders were vacated, clarifying that the dismissal does not affect the wife's rights to maintenance or property under the law.
