Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's decision that set aside a divorce decree granted under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on grounds of insufficient evidence of cruelty. The Court noted that the appellant had remarried after the Family Court's decree and emphasized the need for a fair resolution, allowing for mediation and the payment of alimony. The Court stayed the High Court's judgment pending the outcome of mediation, highlighting the importance of resolving marital disputes amicably.
