Appeal No.56 of 2003\n\n                  -------------------------------\n\n                Dated this the 4th March, 2009\n\n                        J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n<p>Raman, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>             This appeal is filed by the husband against the<\/p>\n<p>judgment and decree in O.P.No.391 of 1998, on the file of the<\/p>\n<p>Family Court, Kottayam, which is a petition filed by the wife for<\/p>\n<p>return of gold ornaments and money. It was the case of the<\/p>\n<p>wife-respondent that originally a suit was filed before the Sub<\/p>\n<p>Court, Kottayam, and on the establishment of Family Court, the<\/p>\n<p>same was transferred to Family Court and re-numbered.<\/p>\n<p>             2. The claim is for a total amount of Rs.75,000\/=<\/p>\n<p>with 12% interest thereon. According to the plaint averment,<\/p>\n<p>the marriage between the parties was solemnised on 14.9.1980<\/p>\n<p>at Neerikkadu St.Mary&#8217;s Catholic Church. After marriage they<\/p>\n<p>resided together and two children were born. Due to the cruelty<\/p>\n<p>by the husband, both physically and mentally,      she left the<\/p>\n<p>M.A.No.56 of 2003<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                               2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>matrimonial home on 1.6.1993. In the mediation talk between<\/p>\n<p>the parties, an extent of 32 cents of land and building therein<\/p>\n<p>was settled in favour of the petitioner and the respondent, as per<\/p>\n<p>settlement deed dated 15.6.1993. Though they lived together<\/p>\n<p>thereafter, again the tie was broken. She claimed an amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.25,000\/= towards her paternal share, which amount is stated<\/p>\n<p>to have entrusted by her father at the time of marriage; an<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs.6000\/= towards the stamp duty and other<\/p>\n<p>expenses of settlement deed as aforesaid, and Rs.26,000\/= said<\/p>\n<p>to have been paid for the purpose of constructing a bath room<\/p>\n<p>with pipe connection in the property of the respondents. She<\/p>\n<p>also claimed an amount of Rs.16,000\/= towards the value of 4 =<\/p>\n<p>sovereigns given at the time of marriage.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                3. Respondent-husband resisted the claim and<\/p>\n<p>denied the allegation that she was meted out with any cruelty by<\/p>\n<p>him. But the execution of the settlement deed was admitted. It<\/p>\n<p>was submitted that it was in consideration of the paternal share<\/p>\n<p>that the settlement deed was executed by his father and the<\/p>\n<p>M.A.No.56 of 2003<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>other amounts made mention of in the petition were not<\/p>\n<p>received.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                4. The evidence consists of oral testimony of PW.1,<\/p>\n<p>RW.1 and Exts.B1 to B3.       The court below, by the judgment<\/p>\n<p>under appeal, allowed a sum of Rs.73,000\/=          in all with 6%<\/p>\n<p>interest from the date of the decree, against which the present<\/p>\n<p>appeal is preferred.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                5.  We have heard both sides, perused the<\/p>\n<p>judgment and the materials on record.       The point that arise for<\/p>\n<p>consideration is as to whether the court below was right in<\/p>\n<p>decreeing the suit for an amount of Rs.73,000\/=, and whether<\/p>\n<p>the claim made in the petition stands proved.<\/p>\n<p>                6. Admittedly there was an extent of 32 cents of<\/p>\n<p>land along with a building       therein, in respect of which a<\/p>\n<p>settlement deed was executed by the father of the first appellant,<\/p>\n<p>in favour of the appellant and his wife, the petitioner in the O.P.<\/p>\n<p>She would not have been entitled for any share in the property,<\/p>\n<p>M.A.No.56 of 2003<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>but for the settlement deed and her own saying in the plaint that<\/p>\n<p>the settlement was executed in view of the patrimony paid at the<\/p>\n<p>time of marriage. If so, she cannot claim again an amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.25,000\/= as her paternal share, said to have been entrusted<\/p>\n<p>at the time of marriage. However, since the property along with<\/p>\n<p>the building stands in the name of both the husband and the<\/p>\n<p>wife, she is entitled to half share of the property, and as such,<\/p>\n<p>she can deal with the half right over the property. If she wants<\/p>\n<p>enjoyment of the property separately, she is also entitled for a<\/p>\n<p>partition.    Then, the amount of Rs.6000\/= spent by her towards<\/p>\n<p>the stamp duty for execution of the settlement deed, does not<\/p>\n<p>entitle to be re-imbursed. Likewise, the amount said to have<\/p>\n<p>been spent for construction of a bath room is not be re-imbursed,<\/p>\n<p>since the house belongs to both the husband and the wife.<\/p>\n<p>                7.  The only other claim that remains to be<\/p>\n<p>considered is regarding the value of gold ornaments. The court<\/p>\n<p>below has appreciated the evidence on record and held that she<\/p>\n<p>is entitled for an amount of Rs.16,000\/= as the value of gold<\/p>\n<p>M.A.No.56 of 2003<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ornaments. We do not think that the decree passed by the court<\/p>\n<p>below for return of the gold ornaments or to pay Rs.16,000\/= is<\/p>\n<p>in any way perverse or unsupported by the evidence in the case.<\/p>\n<p>We sustain the decree for the aforesaid amount of Rs.16,000\/=<\/p>\n<p>together with interest at the rate of 6%. The other amount as<\/p>\n<p>decreed by the court below will stand set aside.    The decree and<\/p>\n<p>judgment passed by the court below will stand modified.<\/p>\n<p>                In the result, the appeal is partly allowed.   The<\/p>\n<p>parties are directed to bear their respective costs.<\/p>\n<p>                                           P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                      P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nnj.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.M.Mathew vs Jolly Mathew on 4 March, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Mat.Appeal.No. 56 of 2003(F) 1.
