G.Srinivas vs M.Swaminathan on 9 July, 2019
42. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Parayankandiyal Eravath
Kanapravan Kalliani Amma and others Vs. K.Devi and others reported in
1996 (4) SCC 76 as well as in S.P.S.Balasubramanyam Vs. Suruttayan Alias
Andali Padayachi and others reported in 1994 (1) SCC 460 had concluded
that a second marriage could be presumed and children born out of such long
cohabitation would also be entitled to benefits of Section 16 of Hindu Marriage
Act. I am therefore of the considered opinion that the applicant had
established that there was a marriage between the 2nd applicant and late
G.Ramakrishna and the 1st applicant was born out of the said wedlock.
