The issue at hand is settled by a decision of a<br \/>\nDivision Bench of this Court in FAO(OS) No.341\/2007 Shumita<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                    Page 1 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n <a href=\"\/doc\/76589794\/\">Didi Sandhu vs. Sanjay Singh Sandhu &amp; Ors. In<\/a> paragraphs 48<br \/>\nand 49 the Division Bench held as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;48. The learned counsel for the appellant had also<br \/>\n       referred to Single Bench decisions of the Kerala High<br \/>\n       Court and the Madras High Court in the cases of<br \/>\n       S.Prabhakaran (supra) and P.Babu Venkatesh<br \/>\n       Kandayammal and Padmavathi (supra) to indicate<br \/>\n       instances of cases where the Supreme Court decision<br \/>\n       in S.R.Batra (supra) was distinguished.         Those<br \/>\n       decisions are Single Bench decisions and that too of<br \/>\n       other high courts and are, therefore, of no<br \/>\n       precedential values insofar as this Bench is<br \/>\n       concerned. We feel that in view of the prima facie<br \/>\n       finding that the property in question does not belong<br \/>\n       to the appellant\u201fs\/plaintiff\u201fs husband nor does he<br \/>\n       have any share or interest in the same, there is no<br \/>\n       question of the said property being regarded as a<br \/>\n       &#8220;shared household&#8221; in terms of Section 2(s) of the<br \/>\n       said Act.      We also find that the expression<br \/>\n       &#8220;matrimonial home&#8221; is not at all defined in the said<br \/>\n       Act and the concept of the matrimonial homes as<br \/>\n       prevailing in England by virtue of the Matrimonial<br \/>\n       Homes Act, 1967 cannot be applied in India as<br \/>\n       pointed out in S.R.Batra (supra) and B.R.Mehta<br \/>\n       (supra). There is no doubt that the appellant\/plaintiff<br \/>\n       has a right of a residence whether as an independent<br \/>\n       right or as a right encapsulated in the right to<br \/>\n       maintenance under the personal law applicable to<br \/>\n       her. But that right of residence does not translate<br \/>\n       into a right to reside in a particular house. More so,<br \/>\n       because her husband does not have any right, title or<br \/>\n       interest in the said house. As noted by the Supreme<br \/>\n       Court in the case of Komalam Amma (supra) as well<br \/>\n       as in Mangat Mal (supra), the right of residence or<br \/>\n       provision for residence may be made by either giving<br \/>\n       a lumpsum in money or property in lieu thereof. In<br \/>\n       the present case, we have noted earlier in this<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                     Page 2 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n        judgment that the learned Single Judge had recorded<br \/>\n       that alternative premises had been offered to the<br \/>\n       appellant\/plaintiff, but she refused to accept the<br \/>\n       same and insisted on retaining the second floor of<br \/>\n       the property in question claiming it to be her<br \/>\n       \u201ematrimonial home\u201f.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       49. We must emphasize once again that the right<br \/>\n       of residence which a wife undoubtedly has does not<br \/>\n       mean the right to reside in a particular property. It<br \/>\n       may, of course, mean the right to reside in a<br \/>\n       commensurate property. But it can certainly not<br \/>\n       translate into a right to reside in a particular<br \/>\n       property. In order to illustrate this proposition, we<br \/>\n       may take an example of a house being allotted to a<br \/>\n       high functionary, say a Minister in the Central<br \/>\n       Cabinet and who resides in the same house along<br \/>\n       with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. It is obvious<br \/>\n       that since the daughter-in-law and son reside in the<br \/>\n       said house, which otherwise is a government<br \/>\n       accommodation allotted to the father-in-law, the<br \/>\n       same could be regarded as the house where the son<br \/>\n       and daughter-in-law live in matrimony. Can the<br \/>\n       daughter-in-law claim that she has a right to live in<br \/>\n       that particular property irrespective of the fact that<br \/>\n       the father-in-law subsequently is no longer a Minister<br \/>\n       and the property reverts entirely to the Government?<br \/>\n       Certainly not. It is only in that property in which the<br \/>\n       husband has a right, title or interest that the wife can<br \/>\n       claim residence and that too, if no commensurate<br \/>\n       alternative is provided by the husband.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>2.            Vide impugned order dated 20.12.2010, the learned<br \/>\nSingle Judge has held that the appellant would have no right to<br \/>\nenforce a claim for residence in the ground floor of building<br \/>\nbearing Municipal No.D-32, South Extension Part-II, half-share<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                      Page 3 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n whereof was inherited by appellant\u201fs mother-in-law through her<br \/>\nmother, a fact which is undisputed; and yet in spite thereof we<br \/>\nfind appellant claiming the subject property to be ancestral<br \/>\nproperty in the hands of her mother-in-law and         through her<br \/>\nhusband having an alleged right therein, and hence a claim set<br \/>\nup that being the wife the appellant would have a right of<br \/>\nresidence in the house belonging to her husband. Said claim<br \/>\non the plea afore-noted cannot be sustained and we reject the<br \/>\nsame outright.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.            Whether appellant can claim a right on the ground<br \/>\nthat the premises in question is a shared household because<br \/>\nafter marriage she and her husband set up their matrimonial<br \/>\nhome in the house is the question which we need to decide.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.            Section 2(s) of The Protection of Women from<br \/>\nDomestic Violence Act 2005, (herein after referred to as \u201ethe<br \/>\nAct\u201f) defines \u201eshared household\u201f as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;2(s)       \u201eshared household\u201f means a household<br \/>\n       where the person aggrieved lives or at any stage has<br \/>\n       lived in a domestic relationship either singly or along<br \/>\n       with the respondent and includes such a household<br \/>\n       whether owned or tenanted either jointly by the<br \/>\n       aggrieved person and the respondent, or owned or<br \/>\n       tenanted by either of them in respect of which either<br \/>\n       the aggrieved person or the respondent or both<br \/>\n       jointly or singly have any right, title, interest or<br \/>\n       equity and includes such a household which may<br \/>\n       belong to the joint family of which the respondent is<br \/>\n       a member, irrespective of whether the respondent or<br \/>\n       the aggrieved person has any right, title or interest in<br \/>\n       the shared household.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                      Page 4 of 8<\/span><\/p>\n<p> 5.            It is not in dispute that after marriage, appellant and<br \/>\nher husband set up their matrimonial home in the house in<br \/>\nquestion, but after a few months the husband and wife fell<br \/>\napart and the husband took on rent the barsati floor, consisting<br \/>\nof a drawing room, a bed room, kitchen and an attached toilet<br \/>\nwith an open terrace abutting on the second floor of House<br \/>\nNo.C-528 Defence Colony, New Delhi at a rent of `30,000\/- per<br \/>\nmonth.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.            Alleging the same to be a ruse and a game-plan to<br \/>\nmake the appellant shift to the said house and thereafter<br \/>\nabandon her requiring rent to be paid or face eviction<br \/>\ntherefrom and additionally on the ground that the appellant<br \/>\nhas a right to be protected in the shared household and has a<br \/>\nright to restrain her mother-in-law and her husband to<br \/>\ndispossess her from the shared residence, claim was raised in<br \/>\nCS(OS) No.1307\/2010 which appears to be a counterblast to<br \/>\nCS(OS) No.505\/2010 whereunder appellant\u201fs mother-in-law<br \/>\nclaimed a right to possess the entire premises. The appellant<br \/>\nhas lost before the learned Single Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.            It is no doubt true that the appellant has a right<br \/>\nunder clause (a) of sub-section 1 of Section 19 of the Act, but<br \/>\nclause (f) thereof cannot be lost sight of, and indeed the<br \/>\nlearned Single Judge has relied thereon.        The learned Single<br \/>\nJudge has also relied upon Section 26 of the Act, holding said<br \/>\nprovision to be a concurrent jurisdiction. It has been directed<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                       Page 5 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n that monthly rent @`30,000\/- should be paid to the appellant<br \/>\ntowards alternative accommodation and `45,000\/- per month<br \/>\ntowards maintenance. The appellant has thus come under a<br \/>\nlegal obligation to vacate the shared household.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.            The respondents have unequivocally stated that<br \/>\nthey shall comply with the obligation placed upon their<br \/>\nshoulders by the learned Single Judge, but the appellant<br \/>\ncontinues to urge that her right to continue to live in the shared<br \/>\nhousehold is indefeasible.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.            Upon the presumption that the ground floor of<br \/>\nHouse No.D-32 South Extension Part-II, New Delhi is the shared<br \/>\nresidence of the appellant, notwithstanding the same being the<br \/>\nabsolute property of appellant\u201fs mother-in-law, we concur with<br \/>\nthe view taken by the learned Single Judge inasmuch as vide<br \/>\nclause (f) of sub-section 1 of Section 19 of the Act, in lieu of the<br \/>\nshared accommodation, a Court can direct the opposite party<br \/>\nto secure same level of alternative accommodation for the<br \/>\naggrieved person as enjoyed by her in the shared household or<br \/>\nto pay rent for the same, if the circumstances so require.<br \/>\nFurther, vide Section 26 of the Act, reliefs available under<br \/>\nSections 18 to 22 may be granted by any Civil Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.           We have already noted herein above the view taken<br \/>\nby a co-ordinate Division Bench of this Court in FAO(OS)<br \/>\nNo.341\/2007 and thus we need not pen a lengthy judgment<br \/>\nsince we have not been persuaded to take a different view. As<br \/>\na matter of fact, we see hardly any scope to urge to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                      Page 6 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n contrary in the teeth of the language of clause (f) of sub-<br \/>\nsection 1 of Section 19 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.           The only limiting words in the said clause, if at all,<br \/>\nwould be \u201eif the circumstances so require\u201f.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.           Thus, at best it can be urged that while deciding an<br \/>\nissue pertaining to a wife\u201fs claim for residence in the shared<br \/>\nhousehold the discussion must start with a presumption in<br \/>\nfavour of the wife that law leans in her favour to continue to<br \/>\nreside in the shared household and only upon adequate<br \/>\ncircumstances being manifestly and objectively disclosed by<br \/>\nthe opposite party, could an order contemplated by clause (f)<br \/>\nof sub-section 1 of Section 10 of the Act be passed.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.           In the instant case the circumstance to take<br \/>\nrecourse to clause (f) of sub-section 1 of Section 19 of the Act<br \/>\nwould be the extreme ill health of the mother-in-law of the<br \/>\nappellant; medical documents pertaining to whom would show<br \/>\nthat   she     suffers   from   \u201etachycardia\u201f   with   heart     muscles<br \/>\nfunctioning at about 20%. The constant strife with the newly<br \/>\nmarried daughter-in-law in her house would certainly have an<br \/>\nadverse effect on the mother-in-law. Besides, the husband of<br \/>\nthe appellant is currently in Hyderabad and not at Delhi.\n<\/p>\n<p>14.           It is apparent that clause (f) of sub-section 1 of<br \/>\nSection 19 of the Act is intended to strike a balance between<br \/>\nthe rights of a daughter-in-law and her in-laws, if a claim to a<br \/>\nshared residence by the daughter-in-law pertains to a building<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO (OS) 71-72\/2011                                            Page 7 of 8<\/span><br \/>\n in which the matrimonial home was set up belongs to her<br \/>\nmother-in-law or father-in-law.\n<\/p>\n<p>15.           Taking   on   record   the   undertaking    by      the<br \/>\nrespondents i.e. the husband and the mother-in-law of the<br \/>\nappellant, both being jointly and severally liable to pay monthly<br \/>\nrent @`30,000\/- to the appellant and additionally to pay<br \/>\nmaintenance @ `45,000\/- per month, the appeal is dismissed<br \/>\nbut without any order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                     (PRADEEP NANDRAJOG)<br \/>\n                                            JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                        (S.P.
