Ramji Malviya vs Smt. Munni Devi Malviya on 20 March, 1959
In the case of Ram Khelawan v. State, AIR 1952 All 958, Bind Basni Prasad J. assumed that Sub-section (1) also is governed by the proviso; he did not discuss the matter at all. Though the proviso governs only Sub-section (3), the provision that remarriage by the husband is a just ground for the wife's refusal to live with him lays down a general principle, which must be borne in mind when it is to be considered whether the wife's refusal to five with her husband is without any sufficient reason within the meaning of Sub-section (4). A just ground for refusal to live with the husband must necessarily be a sufficient reason. A sufficient reason may not be a just ground, but a just ground must always be a sufficient reason.
