KOSHY,J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      This appeal is filed by the appellants\/petitioners against<\/p>\n
the   order    of   the   Principal     Sub    Judge, Kochi, in<\/p>\n
S.O.P.No.3\/1996.       First appellant is the mother of the<\/p>\n
2nd appellant.   Second appellant is the child born out of the<\/p>\n
wed lock with the deceased Sri.K.J.Joseph, who died on<\/p>\n
5.9.1995 in a bus accident at Palluruthy. He was an Assistant<\/p>\n
Executive Engineer of the Kerala State Electricity Board. An<\/p>\n
amount of Rs.2,07,855\/- was due to him from KSEB. He died<\/p>\n
intestate. Hence a petition was filed by the appellants for a<\/p>\n
certificate for the collection of debts and assets of the<\/p>\n
deceased in the name of the appellants\/petitioners.         The<\/p>\n
respondent claimed that he is the son of the deceased and he<\/p>\n
is also entitled to a share of the same. There is no dispute to<\/p>\n
the effect that 1st appellant married Sri.K.J.Joseph, who died<\/p>\n
on 5.9.1995 in the bus accident and the 2nd appellant is his<\/p>\n
M.F.A.690\/03                     2<\/span><\/p>\n
daughter. Earlier, Sri.K.J.Joseph married one Mary Devassia,<\/p>\n
who was examined as RW1 in this case. Their marriage was<\/p>\n
solemnised on 28.5.1984.       According to her, delivery took<\/p>\n
place on 30.5.1986. She was employed in Germany as a nurse<\/p>\n
and she was residing therein. The marriage of RW1 with the<\/p>\n
deceased ended in divorce on 9.12.1988. The allegation was<\/p>\n
that she had illicit relationship with another person and he<\/p>\n
subsequently married after the divorce.         The case of the<\/p>\n
appellants is that there is no evidence to show that the<\/p>\n
respondent is the son of the deceased Joseph, and in the<\/p>\n
divorce proceedings, various pictures showing the adulterous<\/p>\n
life of RW1 was produced, which was not denied, and at that<\/p>\n
time itself, she had illicit relationship, and therefore, it is the<\/p>\n
contention of the petitioners\/appellants that respondent is not<\/p>\n
the son born through the deceased Joseph. But the court<\/p>\n
below found that RW1 gave evidence that she delivered the<\/p>\n
child on 3.5.1986 and asserted that child was conceived out of<\/p>\n
relationship with deceased Joseph during the subsistence of<\/p>\n
marriage.    To prove that, she produced Ext.B2 Baptism<\/p>\n
certificate.    Even though it was argued that baptism<\/p>\n
certificate was not authenticate and birth certificate was not<\/p>\n
produced, the learned Judge found that even in the divorce<\/p>\n
M.F.A.690\/03                    3<\/span><\/p>\n
proceedings, it was found that she delivered the child on<\/p>\n
3.5.1986 and there was no need to disbelieve the evidence of<\/p>\n
RW1 regarding the delivery of the child on 3.5.1986. Ext.A6<\/p>\n
order of divorce produced by the appellants also shows that<\/p>\n
delivery of the child was on 3.5.1986. Next contention was<\/p>\n
that even if she delivered the child on 3.5.1986, there is no<\/p>\n
evidence to show that deceased Joseph is the father of the<\/p>\n
child as she was living in Germany and deceased was working<\/p>\n
as Engineer in KSEB at that time. According to RW1, during<\/p>\n
the 2nd half of November, she reached Kerala, and they were<\/p>\n
living together. It is argued that passport was not produced to<\/p>\n
prove the above contention. But an ex parte order of divorce<\/p>\n
(Ext.A5) was passed on the averments of the deceased Joseph<\/p>\n
that she reached Kerala on 29.7.1985 and they lived together<\/p>\n
upto 5.9.1985 in Kerala, and thereafter only she left for<\/p>\n
Germany.    The child was not a premature child.       Normal<\/p>\n
delivery is about 280 days after conceived, and therefore, if<\/p>\n
they lived together from 29.7.1985 till 5.9.1985, the<\/p>\n
presumption under Section 112 of the Evidence Act will apply.<\/p>\n
Section 112 of the Evidence Act reads as follows:<\/p>\n
M.F.A.690\/03                    4<\/span><\/p>\n
          112. Birth during marriage, conclusive
\n          proof of legitimacy:- The fact that any
\n          person was born during the continuance of
\n          a valid marriage between his mother and
\n          any man, or within two hundred and eighty
\n          days after its dissolution, the mother
\n          remaining unmarried, shall be conclusive
\n          proof that he is the legitimate son of that
\n          man, unless it can be shown that the
\n          parties to the marriage had no access to
\n          each other at any time when he could have
\n          been begotten.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here the presumption is applicable at the time of birth of the<\/p>\n
child and till the marriage was in subsistence. The divorce<\/p>\n
was only in 1988, even though the contention of RW1 that<\/p>\n
when she left for Germany, Joseph also went to Germany and<\/p>\n
they lived together for few weeks, that is not proved.    The<\/p>\n
fact that they lived together from the last week of July 1985<\/p>\n
for a few weeks and the child was conceived during those<\/p>\n
days, and delivered the child within 280 days and much before<\/p>\n
her second marriage attracts the presumption.      Apex Court<\/p>\n
in various cases held that except in compelling circumstances,<\/p>\n
Courts shall avoid conclusion declaring a child as ‘bastard’.<\/p>\n
Even though petitioners produced Ext.A10 letter written by<\/p>\n
the sister of RW1 to her which shows that even in 1984 itself,<\/p>\n
M.F.A.690\/03                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
they had some illicit connections with one Appachan and that<\/p>\n
will not show that they had sexual intercourse before their<\/p>\n
marriage. In any event, no evidence was adduced to rebut the<\/p>\n
presumption.     Therefore, court found that even though court<\/p>\n
has got sympathy towards the appellants, it has to be held that<\/p>\n
respondent is the child born from the deceased Joseph and he<\/p>\n
is also entitled to \/3 share of the assets of Joseph. We are of
\n                   1  rd<\/p>\n
the opinion that on the basis of the evidence adduced and on<\/p>\n
the basis of the presumption under Section 112 of the<\/p>\n
Evidence Act, no interference is required, and hence, this<\/p>\n
appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
