Versus
• Sitlesh Patel, S/o Brijnandan Prasad, Aged About 27 Years, (Constable), R/o Police Line Colony Rudri, Quarter No.H-17, Dhamtari, Tahsil and District - Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Appellant Shri Kunal Das, Advocate Hon'ble Justice Mr. Prashant Kumar Mishra Hon'ble Justice Mrs. Vimla Singh Kapoor Order On Board 17/01/2019 1.
The impugned decree for restitution of conjugal rights allowed in favour of the respondent husband has been assailed on the ground that the respondent husband being responsible for committing cruelty on the appellant, the decree for restitution of conjugal rights should not have been allowed. 2.
It appears, the appellant wife is not willing to join the company of respondent husband for the reason that according to her, the respondent was committing cruelty on her. If such be the case, the appellant may initiate proceedings for seeking divorce. It is also important to mention that both the spouses are employed
and are presently posted at different places within the same district.
3.
Considering the nature of proceedings and for the fact that the appellant is not willing to join the company of the respondent, the appeal is disposed of with observation that in any fresh proceeding between the parties, the finding in respect of the cruelty or negligence recorded under the impugned decree shall be independent of any evidence, which may be recorded in any subsequent proceeding. In other words, any fresh proceeding between the parties shall be decided on the basis of evidence adduced by the parties in such proceedings.
4.
The appeal stands disposed of.
