Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the appellant-husband seeking a divorce from the respondent-wife, confirming the High Court's decision which upheld the Family Court's ruling. The Family Court had found that the appellant failed to prove allegations of cruelty and also did not establish grounds for irretrievable breakdown of marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The court emphasized the need for substantial evidence in divorce proceedings.
