Neeti Malviya vs Rakesh Malviya

The Supreme Court addressed the transfer petition filed by the petitioner-wife seeking to transfer a divorce petition under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court emphasized that the procedural requirements under Section 13-B(2) are clear, mandating a six-month waiting period before a second motion for divorce can be made. The Court held that the stipulated time frame cannot be waived or reduced, thereby reinforcing the statutory requirements for mutual consent divorce proceedings.
