Dismissal of petition under the proviso to Section 29(1) of the Special Marriage Act, 1954 is:

Under the proviso to section 29(1) the court may dismiss the petition "without prejudice to any petition which may be brought after the expiration of the said one year upon the same, or substantially the same, facts". The dismissal is therefore no bar to a later petition on the same facts, and it needs no confirmation.
