The SC, under Article 142 of the Constitution of India, in order to do complete justice to the parties when faced with a situation where the marriage-ties had completely broken and there is no possibility whatsoever of the spouses coming together again, the Court can invoke its extra-ordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to grant a decree of divorce under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, even though one of the parties had withdrawn consent before the passing of the final decree,in order to meet the ends of justice.
