Sonu vs Shishpal — 54/2025

Case Summary: Sonu v. Shishpal (54/2025) The court dismissed Sonu's petition for divorce under Section 13A of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, finding insufficient evidence to support her claims of cruelty by her husband Shishpal. Although Sonu alleged dowry demands, verbal abuse, and abandonment by Shishpal after he developed a relationship with another woman, she failed to produce corroborating evidence or witness testimony to substantiate these serious allegations in court. The court held that since a petitioner bears the burden of proving facts placed before the court, and Sonu provided no supporting evidence despite opportunity to do so, her unsubstantiated assertions could not justify granting the divorce. Both parties are directed to bear their own costs, with the decree of dismissal recorded accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
