Which of the following High Court decisions is a leading case on constructive desertion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In "Jyotish Chandra Guha v. Meera Guha" (AIR 1970 Cal 266), the Calcutta High Court examined the doctrine of constructive desertion and held that where one spouse's persistent neglectful and expulsive conduct compels the other spouse to leave the matrimonial home, the spouse whose conduct forced the separation is guilty of constructive desertion. "Bipin Chander Jaisinghbhai Shah v. Prabhawati" (AIR 1957 SC 176) and "Dastane v. Dastane" (AIR 1975 SC 1534) are decisions of the Supreme Court of India.
