The divorce provision in Hindu law provided that once the application for dissolution of marriage was presented before the competent court, either of the applicants could withdraw the consent within 18 months.

However, a Bench comprising Justices D K Jain and H L Dattu said even if husband or wife withdrew consent after 18 months but prior to passing of the decree, the court could not grant divorce.

“It is clear that one of the parties may withdraw their consent at any time before the passing of the decree. The most important requirement for grant of divorce by mutual consent is free consent of both parties,” it said.

Justice Dattu, writing the judgment for the Bench, explained, “In other words, unless there is a complete agreement between husband and wife for dissolution of the marriage and unless the court is completely satisfied, it cannot grant decree for divorce by mutual consent. Otherwise, in our view, the expression ‘divorce by mutual consent’ would be otiose.”

Hitesh and Deepa, who were married in 1994 and had a girl child, made a joint application for divorce by mutual consent in August 2001. But Deepa withdrew her consent in March 2003 after a period of 18 months. The husband wanted the court to consider this as time-barred and grant him divorce. On the other hand, Deepa said she never wanted divorce and wanted to live with him.

After failing to convince the court about the time bar on withdrawal of consent by the wife, Hitesh told the Bench that the marriage had broken down irretrievably, both being estranged for the last 10 years.

The Bench turned down this plea too and said, “It is under extraordinary circumstances that this court is compelled to dissolve a marriage as having irretrievably broken down.”

It turned philosophical and said, “Marriages are made in heaven, or so it is said. But, we are more often than not made to wonder what happens to them by the time they descend down to earth. Though there is legal machinery in place to deal with such cases, these are perhaps the toughest for the courts to deal with.””

Evidence of this is the fact that India is predicted to enter the big league of the top 10 pharmaceutical markets in the world. Currently, India ranks 14th in terms of value and 3rd in terms of volume. It is obvious then, that the Indian pharmaceutical industry is a contributor to the country’s growth and development. As India offers a perfect combination of skills, technology and economy, many foreign companies have started outsourcing their manufacturing departments to India. Also, some Indian companies have joined hands with MNCs for research and development (R & D) in projects like cancer, AIDS, etc. India’s IT sector plays a pivotal role in enticing MNCs to outsource research and drug discovery contracts.

This road to success was led by the system of product patents introduced on 1st January, 2005. Due to this, India has become a worldwide exporter of high quality generic drugs. India exports to 65 countries with US as its biggest market. According to the National Pharmaceuticals Policy for 2006, the industry’s export was worth US 3.75 billion dollars and growing at a compound annual rate of 22.7%.

In spite of this success story, the Indian pharmaceutical business has room for improvement. To utilise their capacity to the fullest, the India pharmaceutical industry is seeking untapped global as well as local markets. In India, one of the goals of the Indian pharmaceutical industry is to make drugs easily accessible in the local markets. Also, the demand for sophisticated and innovative medicines has increased as the common man lives the western lifestyle. The Indian pharmaceutical industry needs to make more investments in R & D and distribution. Quality wise India is still not up to the international standards. For India to become a top player in the global pharmaceutical business, the government of India needs to support foreign investments in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Also, biotechnology in India is yet to reach its true potential but it’s definitely on its way with the growing importance of vaccines ad bio-services.

However, with talented human resource, advanced technology, low-cost products and mergers & acquisitions with MNCs, the pharmaceutical business in India holds the promise of being one of the top pharmaceutical industries in the world.

Since there are several acupressure points on the head, a Champissage is felt throughout the entire body. The massage may be dry or oils may be used.
