Case Summary: C.A. No. 005649/1998 - Pushpavathi v. Manickasamy The Supreme Court allowed the wife's appeal on February 1, 2001, with costs, setting aside the High Court's divorce decree. The High Court had granted divorce on mental cruelty grounds based on the wife's unproven allegations, though the husband never pleaded mental cruelty in his appeal memo. The Court held that mere unsubstantiated accusations in a written statement cannot constitute mental cruelty, and the marriage dissolution was ordered on facts not even sought by the respondent-husband. The judgment and decree of the First Appellate Court (dismissing the divorce petition) were restored. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
