Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the appellant-husband seeking divorce on grounds of cruelty and desertion under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The court upheld the decisions of the District Court and the Gauhati High Court, finding insufficient evidence to support the claims of cruelty and desertion. The ruling emphasizes the importance of substantiating allegations in matrimonial disputes to obtain a divorce decree.
