In India, you can legally end your marriage through divorce or annulment. Divorce is granted based on grounds like adultery, cruelty, or desertion, while annulment is for marriages deemed void or voidable from the beginning. Divorce involves filing a petition, serving it to your wife, and attending court proceedings.

Previous Article I won a case against a housing society at the district level in Karnataka. They received summons, appeared in court, but then stayed away throughout the proceedings. Now, they’ve approached the state-level court claiming their lawyer didn’t attend and inform them about the proceedings, resulting in them missing the judgment. They filed this appeal 32 days late, exceeding the allowed timeframe. The higher court acknowledges this delay and they’ve paid 50% of the award amount. Should the state court have admitted their appeal despite the significant delay, or should it be dismissed? This society has consistently disregarded legal procedures from the beginning.
