Tripti Tripathi vs Kali Charan on 11 January, 2010
Court No. - 4

Case :- CIVIL REVISION No. - 17 of 2010

Petitioner :- Tripti Tripathi
Respondent :- Kali Charan

Petitioner Counsel :- R.K. Pandey
Respondent Counsel :- Rishikesh Tripathi
Hon’ble Krishna Murari, J.

Heard   learned   counsel   for   the   defendant­revisionist   and   Shri 

Rishikesh Tripathi appearing for the plaintiff­respondent. 

Suit under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act was filed by the 

respondent   before   Civil   Judge   (Senior   Division),   Banda.   In 

response to the notice, the revisionist­wife appeared and filed a 

written statement stating that she was ready and willing to live with 

the plaintiff­respondent. Thereafter the plaintiff­respondent moved 

an application seeking amendment in the plaint. The court below 

vide order dated 22.10.2009 allowed the amendment on cost of 

Rs.150/­.

It has been urged by the learned counsel for the revisionist that by 

the proposed amendment, entire nature of the suit stands changed 

as the suit under Section 9 gets converted into proceedings under 

Section 13 for dissolution of marriage.

Prima facie, from a perusal of the amendment application, there 

appears   to   be   force   in   the   argument,   inasmuch   as   by   the 

amendment the suit filed under Section 9 gets converted in suit 

under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act. 

However,   Shri   Rishikesh   Tripathi   appearing   for   the   defendant­

respondent   made   a   statement   that   he   could   be   permitted   to 
withdraw the suit with the liberty to file a fresh suit under Section 

13 of the Hindue Marriage Act.

In view of the aforesaid statement, the Suit No. 278 of 2008 filed 

under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act stands dismissed as 

withdrawn  with  the   liberty  to   the   respondent­husband  to   initiate 

proceedings  under  Section  13   of  the  Hindu  Marriage  Act,  if   so 

advised.

Subject to aforesaid directions, the civil revision stands dismissed.
