MAYADEVI vs JAGDISH PRASAD

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's appeal under Section 28 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, affirming the findings of the trial court regarding the respondent's allegations of cruelty. The Court noted that the appellant's actions, including threats and physical harm to the children, constituted sufficient grounds for divorce. The judgment also referenced the appellant's conviction under Section 302 IPC for the murder of her children, which further substantiated the claim of cruelty, leading to the conclusion that the marriage was irretrievably broken down.
