Invoking Article 142, the Supreme Court dissolved an irretrievably broken marriage, holding that its continuance would only prolong agony. The Court granted divorce despite trial and High Court findings, stressing complete justice over rigid statutory grounds of law.
The Supreme Court observed that “compelling a dead marriage to continue only perpetuates mental agony and societal burden,” while granting divorce under Article 142, citing irretrievable breakdown and loss of mutual respect.
