Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a family court's decision dismissing a husband's petition for divorce under Sections 13(1)(ia) and (iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The case involved allegations of mental and physical cruelty, as well as criminal complaints under IPC and Dowry Prohibition Act. The Court upheld the Family Court's judgment, emphasizing the importance of evidence in matrimonial disputes and the need for clear proof of cruelty. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings.
