Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decree of divorce granted under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, after the Trial Court had initially rejected the petition. The Court emphasized the need for amicable settlement and directed the respondent-husband to pay a total of Rs.20 lakhs to the appellant-wife and their daughter, with specific timelines for payment. The Court also mandated the withdrawal of all pending cases between the parties and established conditions for compliance, ensuring the welfare of the child involved.
