KOSHAL CHAND vs SUNITA Advocate - SH. SUBASH CHAND SHARMA — 53/2020

Case Summary: Koshal Chand vs. Sunita (53/2020) Court Decision: The court REJECTED the husband's (Koshal Chand's) petition for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Key Reasoning: The court found that the husband failed to prove cruelty by the wife with sufficient evidence. While the husband alleged mental and physical cruelty, dowry harassment, and abandonment, the court determined these claims were largely unsubstantiated. The wife's testimony and witnesses established that the couple lived together harmoniously for 8 years post-marriage and that the husband abandoned her without valid justification around 2013, subsequently entering into a live-in relationship with another woman—actions that undermined his credibility and divorce petition.
