Section 19(1) Family Courts Act - Appellate Court Quashes Perverse Restitution of Conjugal Rights Order | JHHC

The ruling highlights the appellate power under Section 19(1) to set aside family-court findings that conflict with substantive facts, affecting spouses facing restitution of conjugal rights petitions.
