Bhakuadas & Ors vs Nankibai & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in overturning the concurrent findings of fact by the Trial Court and Lower Appellate Court regarding the non-existence of marriage between Nankibai and Mohandas. The Court emphasized that mere cohabitation does not establish a legal marriage and that the findings of the lower courts were based on a correct appreciation of evidence. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, restoring the decision of the Lower Appellate Court and setting aside the High Court's order.
