From the above evidence on record, appreciated in t he light of the case law on the subject and the authoritati ve texts as discussed above relating to the custom of dissol u tion and Udiki form of marriage prevalent among the Linga y ats who are a religious sect following teachings of Basav a, we entertain no doubt that there has been ancient and unbr o ken customs of dissolution of marriage and of serai Udi ki marriage among the Pnachamasale Lingayats which was alrea dy judicially noticed by the Courts, and that the marriage of the fourth defendant with Gurulingappa was proved to ha ve been customarily dissolved and that she was subsequent ly legally married with Gurappa in the valid customary form of Udiki marriage, whereafter, she lived with Gurappa as hu s band and wife until Gurappa died, and that thereafter s he enjoyed the family pension by dint of her being nominated as 85 wife by Gurappa to the knowledge of all concerned.
