Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision confirming the dissolution of marriage under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on grounds of cruelty. The Court found that the respondent-husband had sufficiently established instances of cruelty, including disrespectful behavior and lack of support during family functions. The appeal by the wife for restitution of conjugal rights was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
