BHAKUADAS vs NANKIBAI

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in overturning the concurrent findings of fact by the Trial Court and the Lower Appellate Court regarding the non-existence of marriage between Nankibai and Mohandas. The Court emphasized that mere cohabitation does not equate to marriage and that the High Court's conclusions were based on conjecture rather than evidence. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the decision of the Lower Appellate Court, affirming the Trial Court's findings.
