Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order issuing non-bailable warrants under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, specifically Section 13 concerning divorce. The Court held that the High Court's issuance of warrants was improper as the husband had not been given adequate opportunity to present himself, emphasizing the need for fair process in judicial proceedings. The Court granted interim stay on the High Court's order, allowing the husband to contest the appeal without the threat of arrest.
