Ranjan Kumar Shrivastava vs Nidhi Sinha on 9 August, 2010

               IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                            MA No.480 of 2010
                     RANJAN KUMAR SHRIVASTAVA
                                    Versus
                               NIDHI SINHA
                                  -----------

2 9.8.2010 We were not inclined to issue notice to the

respondent in view of the fact that even on the basis of

decree for judicial separation which has lasted for more

than a year, the appellant could have sought divorce under

the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. However,

learned counsel for the appellant has persuaded us to issue

notice to the sole respondent only to ascertain the views of

the respondent, if she chooses to appear.

Issue notice to the sole respondent for which

requisites by ordinary process as well as by registered

cover with A/d must be filed within ten days failing which

this appeal shall stand dismissed without further reference

to the Bench.

Rule is made returnable within eight weeks.

(Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
