In this Dipak Misra dole out judgment, even the judicially separated folks are also within the ambit of Aggrieved person. The Hon’ble Supreme Court rejected the view taken by lower courts and held that the status of the parties did not become different due to a decree of judicial separation. There is a distinction between the decree for divorce and the decree of judicial separation. So, the finding of the lower courts, that the parties having been judicially separated, the appellant had ceased to be an aggrieved person, is “wholly unsustainable”.
