From the headnote

JUDGMENT: J U M N T This appeal by the wife arises out of a petition filed by the respondent in the Family Court at Bandra in Bombay seeking divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion under Sections 13(1)(1a) and 13(1)(1b) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The parties were married on November 15, 1959. They have two children. The divorce petition was filed on February 26, 1990. It appears that during the period from 1990 to 1993 there was not much progress in the said petition.
