Null and void

Praying for declaring the marriage null and void and praying for divorce are entirely different things. The grounds for declaring a marriage are entirely different from those for divorce. A marriage can be declared null and void on the grounds laid down in s. 12 of HMA while divorce can be sought on the grounds mentioned in s.13 HMA. So if you have prayed for nullifying the marriage and lead evidence on grounds of divorce then, it will be surely dismissed.

declaration of nullity - u/s 11 of HMA

annulment of marriage (annulment decree) - u/s 12 of HMA

divorce - u/s 13 

u should have gone for sec. 13 instead of 11 / 12.

this is the reason of dismissal

and many a times such careless adv. do not even express the acceptance of a fleck of the blunder at his end.

the client has to suffer.

adv. is PRACTICING !! getting paid for loosing !!! client is suffering !!!!

there is 1 judgement in this regard from SC.

it states something as follows :

though your pleadings were under wrong section, it was the hon. court to peruse your pleadings and award justified relief to you.

kindly verify.

Both the experts have rightly answered the query and I too endorse their view.
 

Nothing more to add.
