Telangana high court refuses divorce due to insufficient evidence of erectile dysfunction
HYDERABAD: Terming that there was insufficient evidence to prove the erectile dysfunction of a 33-year-old man, the Telangana High Court refused to grant a divorce to his 38-year-old wife. Alleging that the man, a govt employee, was sexually impotent and concealed his medical condition before marriage, his wife, a software professional, sought a divorce and a permanent alimony of Rs 90 lakh. She initially filed a divorce petition with the family court in Hyderabad, which dismissed her petition. Challenging the family court order, she moved the high court. The woman alleged that their marriage did not consummate both during their honeymoon trips and during their time together in the United States, where they stayed for a couple of years for work. She cited medical issues, including erectile dysfunction and failed surgeries, as grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, along with cruelty. In defense, the husband submitted medical reports and testimony asserting that he was capable of sexual activity. He claimed that the couple had a consensual sexual relationship both before and after marriage. He also submitted to the court a government hospital potency test conducted in 2021 stating that there was "nothing to suggest" he was incapable of intercourse. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad A division bench of Justices Moushumi Bhattacharya and B.R. Madhusudhan Rao, while dismissing her case recently, upheld the lower court's ruling which said that there was insufficient evidence to prove the husband's alleged erectile dysfunction rendered the marriage unconsummated. The high court also questioned the woman's silence since their marriage in 2013 until she moved a divorce petition before the family court in 2018. The court also pointed out the inconsistencies in the woman's claims, including her continued cohabitation with her husband from 2015 to 2018 and the lack of corroborative testimony or any expert evidence. The court also emphasized that mere allegations without medical or factual backing were insufficient to declare the marriage null and void. The court further denied her request to introduce into the case additional documents concerning pending cases in the US involving financial disputes against her husband, as not relevant to this case.

HC dismisses HCA's appeal over arbitral award to Visaka Industries
Telangana High Court had dismissed an appeal filed by Hyderabad Cricket Association challenging an arbitral award of ₹25.92 crore passed by local Commercial Court in favour of Vishaka Industries. A bench of Justices Moushumi Bhattacharya and B.R. Madhusudhan Rao said that the HCA failed to make out any grounds for interference in the impugned order passed by the Commercial Court in 2024. 'In short, the HCA exposed its unsportsmanlike colours and whatever game it may have played, it was certainly not ticket in the fairest sense of the term', the two judges said in the order. The dispute between HCA and M/s Visaka Industries arose over an agreement they had entered in 2004. As per the agreement, Visaka Industries rights for in-stadia advertisement rights for the construction of an international cricket stadium at Uppal Kancha in Hyderabad. Before conducting IPL matches in 2008, the HCA wrote to Visaka expressing its inability to honour its obligations as per the 2004 agreement, stating that it was not binding on the BCCI-IPL arrangement. Visaka moved the lower court to restrain HCA from denying in-stadia ad rights to it during IPL matches. While the litigation prolonged, the HCA wrote a letter to Visaka in 2011 stating that it had terminated the 2004 agreement on the ground of impossibility of performance. Finally, an arbitral award of ₹25.92 crore was made to Visaka in 2016. The same was challenged by HCA in the Commercial Court, which dismissed it. The HCA filed the present appeal against the Commercial Court order. The bench held that even in the present appeal, the HCA never inclined to provide statutory security for stay of the award but tested its luck at all levels only get an unfair and short-lived edge over Visaka', the verdict said.
