Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the divorce granted under Section 13(1)(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as the appellant established grounds for divorce due to mental cruelty. The Court emphasized that the respondent's demands and harassment constituted sufficient grounds for dissolution of marriage. The appeal was allowed, restoring the decree of divorce in favor of the appellant.
