Sushila Kumari vs Col. Satish Chander

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

In this matrimonial dispute case, the appellant challenged a High Court order that purported to settle a maintenance dispute and required withdrawal of all pending litigation between the spouses. The appellant claimed the High Court inaccurately recorded facts and that she never agreed to withdraw the cases, citing legitimate reasons (execution of marriage expense award, ongoing maintenance enhancement suit, domestic violence case). The Supreme Court found merit in the recall application and remitted it to the High Court for fresh consideration on the merits, noting that the summary dismissal was unjustified given the supporting affidavit from appellant's counsel confirming the factual discrepancies."
