A bench of the Gujarat High Court, consisting of Justice AY Kogje and Justice NS Sanjay Gowda, upheld the divorce granted by the Family Court considering the wife's act of not inviting her husband to their son's mundan ceremony as cruelty.

The bench noted, "It is to be stated here that the husband and the wife had only one son and for a religious ceremony of great significance, if the wife chose to perform the ceremony in absence of her husband, that by itself would establish that she wanted to keep the husband away from her son's and also from her life. In our view, this conduct clearly amounts to cruelty."
