Section 19(iii) HMA | "Last Resided Together" Means Final Joint Residence; Earlier Matrimonial Home Displaced by Subsequent Stay : Delhi HC
The Delhi HC ruled that "last resided together" under Section 19(iii) HMA means the final joint residence - a four-year Gurugram stay displacing an earlier 18-month Delhi residence. The divorce petition was rightly returned for want of jurisdiction, and the appeal dismissed on maintainability (wrong respondent) and merits.
