DIMPAL NIKHILKUMAR SANKLECHA SUNIKET A KULKARNI AND RUTUJA L. JAKHADE vs NIKHILKUMAR NANDAKUMAR SANKLECHA — WP/12217/2025

Summary: The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) allowed the wife's writ petition and quashed the lower court's order directing her psychiatric examination in a divorce case. While confirming that matrimonial courts have power to order medical examinations under Section 13(1)(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, the court held that such orders cannot be passed casually without prima facie evidence establishing necessity; the lower court's order lacked sufficient reasoning and failed to demonstrate grounds for the examination. The court permitted the husband to refile with proper evidence supporting a prima facie case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
