    The Additional District Judge of Darjeeling granted an ex-parte divorce decree to husband Pranit Thapa against wife Shanti Tamang under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act on grounds of adultery. The court found the husband's allegations credible—that the wife eloped with respondent Sonam Sherpa in June 2021 after a decade-long extramarital affair—as corroborated by witness testimony and a local society document from July 2021 transferring her liabilities to the second respondent. The 26-year marriage solemnized on 11 March 2000 was dissolved effective from the judgment date (18 April 2026).
