Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that the second floor of the property at B-135, Ashok Vihar, is the matrimonial home of Smt. Taruna Batra, despite her husband Amit Batra's relocation to Ghaziabad. The Court emphasized that a change in the husband's residence does not alter the status of the matrimonial home, particularly in the context of ongoing divorce proceedings. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to allow Smt. Taruna Batra to reside in the property, reinforcing her rights under Article 21 of the Constitution.
