B A Vani vs Union Of India And Another

The Supreme Court held that under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, a decree of divorce by mutual consent can be granted, and the six-month waiting period can be waived under Article 142 of the Constitution of India in cases of long separation, as demonstrated by the seven-year separation of the parties. The Court found that the interests of justice warranted the dissolution of the marriage without delay, thus granting the decree of divorce. The Writ Petition was dismissed as misconceived, and the efforts of the Amicus Curiae were appreciated.
