Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree of divorce granted by the High Court, affirming that both parties were no longer interested in maintaining their relationship. The Court directed the District Judge/Family Court, Jalandhar, Punjab to conduct an inquiry regarding permanent alimony and to conclude the pending maintenance proceedings within three months. The appeal was disposed of with no further adjudication required, and the inquiry on alimony was confirmed to be under the jurisdiction of the Family Court, not the High Court or Supreme Court.
