    Summary The High Court of Bombay dismissed the plaintiff's appeal and upheld the trial court's dismissal of her suit seeking declaration that she was in a relationship "in the nature of marriage" with a deceased man and was his widow. The court held that the plaintiff's claim fails the legal test established in *D. Velusamy v. D. Patchaiammal*, which requires that both parties be unmarried and otherwise qualified to enter into legal marriage—a requirement not satisfied here since the deceased had a subsisting marriage with another woman. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
