Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Family Court's decree of divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, specifically Sections 13(1)(i-a) and (i-b). The Court found that the Family Court had improperly deemed service of notice sufficient despite the wife's refusal to accept it. The Court also directed the Family Court to lodge a complaint against the appellant-husband for various IPC offences, including Sections 193 and 417, thereby reinforcing the importance of proper notice in divorce proceedings.
