Decided on: Jul-09-1981

Reported in: 1983(1)BomCR395; (1982)84BOMLR33

A.N. Mody, J.1. The suit, the decision in which has led to this appeal, was bitterly fought between the parties and lengthy evidence was recorded in the matter. The suit and the appeal raise interesting and important questions of law. Even before me Mr. Bhatt for the appellant-husband argued the appeal at great length on facts and also made detailed submissions on the questions of law involved. Mrs. Nanavati started her arguments with submissions on questions of law. On hearing her, I found that the appeal is capable of being disposed of on one question of law only since her submission on that question appeared to have great substance. So I stopped her from going into the facts. Mr. Karim for the appellant very ably tried to dislodge her contention but without success.2. The plaintiff-appellant is the husband of the defendant-respondent. On 6-5-1966, the plaintiff then a Muslim and the defendant then a Hindu got married in England by getting the marriage registered under the civil law ...
