Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the dismissal of an anti-suit injunction against the respondent-wife, under Sections 13 and 26 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court held that the appellant-husband, having initiated divorce proceedings in India, was not entitled to restrain the respondent from pursuing her divorce petition in the USA, as the grounds for divorce under the foreign jurisdiction were valid. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to vacate the injunction.
