GURBUX SINGH vs HARMINDER KAUR

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's divorce petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on grounds of cruelty, affirming that the appellant failed to prove sufficient evidence of cruelty by the respondent. The Court reiterated that mere allegations without substantial proof do not warrant a decree of divorce. The judgment of the High Court was thus affirmed, maintaining the lower courts' findings that the appellant did not meet the burden of proof required for divorce on the grounds claimed.
