Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals challenging the Uttarakhand High Court's decision that reversed the Family Court's order granting divorce to the appellant while denying the respondent's petition for restitution of conjugal rights. The Court emphasized the importance of considering the facts of the case, including the prolonged separation of the couple since 2007, and ultimately upheld the Family Court's decision to grant divorce. This judgment reinforces the legal principles surrounding marital discord and the grounds for divorce under Indian law.
