NAVEEN KOHLI vs NEELU KOHLI

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating the appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution, held that the Family Court's decree for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 was improperly overturned by the Allahabad High Court. The Court emphasized that the evidence of cruelty and misconduct by the respondent warranted the annulment of marriage. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Family Court's order, allowing the divorce and affirming the appellant's entitlement to a livelihood allowance.
