N.RAJENDRAN vs S.VALLI

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision that had reinstated the marriage between N. Rajendran and S. Valli, which was dissolved by the Family Court under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The court found that the respondent's appeal against the dissolution was filed after the statutory period, and the appellant had remarried based on the valid decree. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in marriage dissolution cases.
