Which one of the following case is not related with the Section 6 of Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Dastane v. Dastane (1975) is a leading Supreme Court case on cruelty as a matrimonial ground and on the standard of proof in matrimonial cases under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. It has nothing to do with guardianship.

Githa Hariharan v. Reserve Bank of India (1999) read "after him" in section 6(a) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 as "in the absence of" the father, and Jijabai v. Pathankhan (1971) treated the mother as natural guardian where the father took no interest; these, like the Kerala case listed, concern section 6.
