In Brief
In this case, the Supreme Court examined an interim order by the High Court that declared the appellant's second marriage illegal while an appeal against dissolution of his first marriage was still pending. The Court held that the High Court should not have decided this substantive issue at the interlocutory stage. The Court vacated the declaration of illegality and clarified that all contentions, including those regarding the second marriage, must be raised and determined during final disposal of the appeal, not in interlocutory proceedings. The Court emphasized that findings at the interlocutory stage are preliminary views only.
