Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled on a divorce petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, where the husband alleged the wife's adulterous conduct and extravagant lifestyle leading to heavy debts. The Court emphasized that allegations of adultery must be substantiated with credible evidence, and mere assertions without proof cannot suffice for divorce. The Court ultimately upheld the need for a fair trial and dismissed the husband's petition for divorce due to lack of evidence supporting his claims.
