Mukesh Nayyar (Naiyar) vs Madhu Nayyar (Naiyar) & Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

This brief order concerns an interim application arising from a divorce appeal. The appellant had challenged a High Court decision that set aside a Trial Court's divorce decree. When the Court learned that the appellant had died on 13 June 2016, it found that no legal cause of action survives the appellant's death. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed. The Court noted that if surviving parties have grievances concerning property or other matters, they remain free to pursue those in appropriate proceedings.
