When informed that the couple did actually meet through the matrimonial site, Justice Pardiwala said: “What do we do with this shaadi.com…. Try mediation once again”, the legal publication reported. The Supreme Court's latest remarks on Shaadi.com come days after the site's founder Anupam Mittal was granted protection from arrest in a case related to alleged fraud by one of the users of the site. A woman from Hyderabad had alleged that she was duped of ₹11 lakh by a user of Shaadi.com who created a fake profile on the platform.

Nadkarni asked.On Tuesday, February 3, a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and N. V. Anjaria set aside a Telangana High Court order that had refused to quash the proceedings against Mittal, and remitted the matter to the high court for fresh consideration.“Since the quashing petition has not been decided on merits, we set aside the impugned order and remit the matter to the high court to consideration on merits,” the apex court had said.Anupam Mittal and two others were granted protection from arrest for two weeks and the Shaadi.com founder was asked to move the high court for interim bail.
