Admittedly,     marriage     between      the\n\npetitioner\/husband   and   the   respondent\/wife    was\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>solemnized in the year 1982.  Gauna ceremony took place <\/p>\n<p>in  1983 and out of their marital wedlock, a son namely<\/p>\n<p>Tukeshwar was born in 1984.  It is also not in  dispute<\/p>\n<p>that since the year 1985, the respondent\/wife is living<\/p>\n<p>separately   in   her   maternal   home   in    village<\/p>\n<p>Kongiyakhurd.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>3.    For the first time, the respondent\/wife filed  an<\/p>\n<p>application  under  Section  125  of  the  Cr.P.C.   on<\/p>\n<p>23.10.2003 on the averment that a year after  birth  of<\/p>\n<p>Tukeshwar, the petitioner\/husband started harassing her<\/p>\n<p>for   bringing  money  from  her  father  and   finally<\/p>\n<p>somewhere  around the year 1985 she was turned  out  of<\/p>\n<p>her matrimonial house by the petitioner herein.  A year<\/p>\n<p>after  this, the respondent\/wife went with  her  father<\/p>\n<p>Hagroo and Kotwar Nemdas to the house of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>where  after wrongly confining them inside a  room  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner forcibly got a document executed by them and<\/p>\n<p>refused  to keep the respondent.  In the hope  that  in<\/p>\n<p>future at some point of time, the petitioner would take<\/p>\n<p>her back, the respondent did not lodge a report or take<\/p>\n<p>any  legal  action even after leaving  the  matrimonial<\/p>\n<p>home  for 5 to 6 years.  The respondent lived with  her<\/p>\n<p>father  who  maintained her till his death.  Thereafter<\/p>\n<p>Motim   Bai,  maternal  aunt  of  the  father  of   the<\/p>\n<p>respondent,  maintained her till  her  death  3  months<\/p>\n<p>prior  to  the filing of the application under  Section<\/p>\n<p>125  of  the  Cr.P.C. The respondent had  no  means  of<\/p>\n<p>livelihood  and  was unable to maintain  herself.   The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner  refused  to keep the  respondent  with  him<\/p>\n<p>despite  efforts  by the respondent on  12.10.2003  and<\/p>\n<p>19.10.2003  whereupon  application  under  Section  125<\/p>\n<p>Cr.P.C.  was filed on 23.10.2003.  It was pleaded  that<\/p>\n<p>the  petitioner herein was drawing salary of Rs.9,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>as a Teacher in Government service and had around about <\/p>\n<p>12  acres  of  irrigated agricultural  land  and  other<\/p>\n<p>income  from  business.   An amount  of  Rs.3,000\/-  as<\/p>\n<p>monthly maintenance was claimed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    The petitioner herein denied the averment of  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent in toto and pleaded that after the birth  of<\/p>\n<p>Tukeshwar,  the respondent\/wife had suo  moto  gone  to<\/p>\n<p>live  at  her  maternal home and had developed  illicit<\/p>\n<p>relationship  with some person.  Two  years  after  the<\/p>\n<p>birth  of  Tukeshwar, the respondent and the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>had   mutually  agreed  to  live  separately   and   on<\/p>\n<p>02.10.1989 a document was executed evidencing that they  <\/p>\n<p>had  mutually agreed to live separately and the marital<\/p>\n<p>tie  between them had come to an end.  After this,  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent  returned  to Kongiyakhurd  and  was  living<\/p>\n<p>there   of  her  own  volition.   The  allegations   of<\/p>\n<p>execution of document dated 02.10.1989 per force  after<\/p>\n<p>wrongful confinement of the respondent, her father  and<\/p>\n<p>the  Kotwar  were false because had it been  true,  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent  wife  would  have reported  the  matter  to<\/p>\n<p>police  or  taken legal action.  In sum and  substance,<\/p>\n<p>the  petitioner herein contended that the  marital  tie<\/p>\n<p>between  them  had  come to an end on  02.10.1989,  and <\/p>\n<p>therefore,  the respondent had ceased to be  his  wife.<\/p>\n<p>It  was also pleaded that the respondent\/wife was  able<\/p>\n<p>to  maintain herself as she cultivated her agricultural<\/p>\n<p>land in village Kongiyakhurd.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    Before  the Judicial Magistrate First Class,  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent  wife  examined herself and Rampratap  A.W.2 <\/p>\n<p>and  her brother Samalia A.W.3.  The petitioner  herein<\/p>\n<p>proved  document Sahamati Patra dated 02.10.1989 Ex.D.1  <\/p>\n<p>and besides testifying also examined Bhaiyaram N.A.W.2. <\/p>\n<p>The  learned Judicial Magistrate First Class,  Bemetara<\/p>\n<p>recorded a finding that there was no evidence on record<\/p>\n<p>to  show  that  the respondent herein  was  leading  an<\/p>\n<p>immoral life.  After appreciating oral evidence and the<\/p>\n<p>Sahamati Patra Ex.D.1, a finding was recorded that  the<\/p>\n<p>two  spouses  were living separately by mutual  consent<\/p>\n<p>and therefore under Section 125 (4) of the Cr.P.C., the<\/p>\n<p>respondent herein was not entitled to maintenance.   No<\/p>\n<p>finding  was recorded that the marital tie between  the<\/p>\n<p>two spouses had come to an end w.e.f. 02.10.1989. <\/p>\n<p>6.    Being  aggrieved,  the respondent\/wife  preferred<\/p>\n<p>Criminal  Revision No. 194\/2005 before  the  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions   Judge,  Bemetara.   The  learned  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge arrived at a different finding  that  by<\/p>\n<p>Sahmati Patra Ex.D.1 dated 02.10.1989, the relationship<\/p>\n<p>between  the two spouses had come to an end  by  mutual  <\/p>\n<p>consent  and  the petitioner herein had  also  admitted<\/p>\n<p>that  he  had remarried thereafter.  On these premises,<\/p>\n<p>it was held that as a divorced wife the respondent\/wife<\/p>\n<p>was  entitled to maintenance till she remarried and was<\/p>\n<p>unable  to  maintain  herself.  On  such  finding,  the<\/p>\n<p>learned  Additional Sessions Judge set aside the  order<\/p>\n<p>dated  19.07.2005  passed  by the  Judicial  Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>First  Class and ordered the petitioner herein  to  pay<\/p>\n<p>monthly  maintenance at the rate of  Rs.1000\/-  to  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife from the date of application.<\/p>\n<p>7.     Shri   K.  A.  Ansari,  learned  Senior  Counsel<\/p>\n<p>appearing  on  behalf of the petitioner\/husband  argued<\/p>\n<p>that the learned Additional Sessions Judge acted beyond<\/p>\n<p>the   scope  of  the  revisional  jurisdiction  in  re-<\/p>\n<p>appreciating  the evidence and coming to  a  conclusion<\/p>\n<p>different than the one drawn by the Judicial Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>First  Class without holding that the finding  recorded<\/p>\n<p>by the J.M.F.C. was either contrary to law or perverse.<\/p>\n<p>It  was  also  argued  that in  her  application  under<\/p>\n<p>Section 125 of the Cr.P.C., the respondent\/wife did not<\/p>\n<p>claim maintenance as a divorced wife of the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>The  fact  that  from the year 1985 the respondent\/wife<\/p>\n<p>was  living  separately from her  husband  without  any<\/p>\n<p>demur substantiated that she was living separately from<\/p>\n<p>her  husband  by  mutual consent as  evidenced  by  the<\/p>\n<p>Sahmati Patra Ex.D.1.  Unless the revisional Court came<\/p>\n<p>in  close  quarters  with the order passed  by  learned<\/p>\n<p>J.M.F.C.  and  arrived at a conclusion  that  the  said<\/p>\n<p>order  dated  19.07.2005 suffered  from  illegality  or<\/p>\n<p>perversity,  the  learned  Additional  Sessions  Judge,<\/p>\n<p>while allowing the revision, had acted beyond the scope<\/p>\n<p>of  revisional jurisdiction by setting aside the  order<\/p>\n<p>dated  19.07.2005  passed  by the  Judicial  Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>First Class, Bemetra by arriving at a different finding<\/p>\n<p>on the material on record.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    On  the  other  hand, Shri P.  P.  Sahu,  learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel  for the respondent\/wife argued in  support  of<\/p>\n<p>the  impugned order and urged that if the  pleading  by<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner\/husband and the document Ex.D.1 (Sahmati <\/p>\n<p>Patra) were to be accepted, the respondent\/wife was, as<\/p>\n<p>a  divorced  wife,  entitled to be  maintained  by  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/husband  till she remarried.   Reliance  was<\/p>\n<p>placed  on  <a href=\"\/doc\/585496\/\">Vanamala  (Smt.) v.  Shri  H.M.  Ranganatha<\/p>\n<p>Bhatta,<\/a>  1995 (II) M.P.W.N. 162, Harish Raisen v.  Smt.<\/p>\n<p>Kavitaba  Raisen,  2007 (4) M.P.L.J.  137  and  <a href=\"\/doc\/1728416\/\">Rohtash<\/p>\n<p>Singh v. Smt. Ramendri and others<\/a>, AIR 2000 SC 952. <\/p>\n<p>9.    Having considered the rival submissions,  I  have<\/p>\n<p>perused  the impugned order dated 13.10.2006 passed  by <\/p>\n<p>the  Additional Sessions Judge, Bemetara and the  order<\/p>\n<p>dated  19.07.2005  passed by Judicial Magistrate  First<\/p>\n<p>Class,  Bemetara and also the record.  In paragraphs  8<\/p>\n<p>and  9  of  the impugned order, the learned  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge did not find any illegality in the order<\/p>\n<p>dated  19.07.2005  passed  by the  Judicial  Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>First  Class.   However, on perusal  of  Sahmati  Patra<\/p>\n<p>Ex.D.1  and placing reliance on a judgment rendered  in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/585496\/\">Vanamala (Smt.) v. Shri H.M. Ranganatha Bhatta<\/a> (supra), <\/p>\n<p>it  arrived at the conclusion that living separately by<\/p>\n<p>mutual  consent does not come in the way of a  divorced<\/p>\n<p>wife  to  receive maintenance till she  re-married.   I<\/p>\n<p>shall   now  examine  whether  the  learned  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge was justified in taking the above  view?<\/p>\n<p>The  respondent\/wife  did not claim  maintenance  as  a<\/p>\n<p>divorced  wife.  The petitioner denied the  entitlement<\/p>\n<p>of  the  respondent\/wife to receive maintenance on  the<\/p>\n<p>ground  that  the marital tie between the  parties  was<\/p>\n<p>snapped  on  02.10.1989 when Sahmati Patra  Ex.D.1  was  <\/p>\n<p>executed by the parties.  Burden of proving this was on<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner\/husband.  A perusal of the testimony  of<\/p>\n<p>the  petitioner\/husband shows that at no place  did  he<\/p>\n<p>mention  that  the  relationship between  him  and  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife had come to an end on execution of  the<\/p>\n<p>document Ex.D.1.  Although the respondent\/wife admitted <\/p>\n<p>that  Ex.D.1  bears her thumb impression  as  also  the<\/p>\n<p>signature of her father and the Kotwar yet it does  not<\/p>\n<p>transpire from the testimony of the petitioner that the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife  had  affixed her thumb  impression  on<\/p>\n<p>document  Ex.D.1  after it was read  over  to  her  and<\/p>\n<p>admitted  to  be  correct by  her.   The  petitioner  &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Mayaram  did not assert anywhere in his testimony  that<\/p>\n<p>as  per  custom prevalent the relationship between  him<\/p>\n<p>and  the respondent\/wife had come to an end.  All  that<\/p>\n<p>he  stated  in paragraph 5 was that after the execution<\/p>\n<p>of   the  document  Ex.D.1  both  spouses  were  living<\/p>\n<p>separately.   In  this view of the  matter,  since  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife did not claim maintenance as a divorced<\/p>\n<p>wife  and  the evidence of the petitioner did not  show<\/p>\n<p>that the relationship of husband and wife had ended  on<\/p>\n<p>02.10.1989 or that the respondent\/wife had affixed  her<\/p>\n<p>thumb impression on document Ex.D.1 after the same  was  <\/p>\n<p>read  over  to  and admitted by her to be correct,  the<\/p>\n<p>finding  of  entitlement  of  the  respondent\/wife   to<\/p>\n<p>receive   maintenance  as  a  divorced  wife   of   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner  herein  by the learned Additional  Sessions<\/p>\n<p>Judge  is  contrary  to law and facts.   I  am  of  the<\/p>\n<p>considered opinion that the Sahamati Patra Ex.D.1  does<\/p>\n<p>not break the marital tie between the parties and could<\/p>\n<p>at  the most be construed as showing mutual consent  to<\/p>\n<p>live  separately,  and  therefore,  learned  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions   Judge   was   not  justified   in   awarding<\/p>\n<p>maintenance  to the respondent\/wife as a divorced  wife<\/p>\n<p>by  taking a view different than the one taken  by  the<\/p>\n<p>learned J.M.F.C.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>10.   The  case law relied on by Shri P.P.Sahu, learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel  for  the  respondent\/wife does  not  help  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent in any manner because in the cases cited  by<\/p>\n<p>him  a  decree for divorce between the two spouses  had<\/p>\n<p>been passed.  However, in the present case, divorce has<\/p>\n<p>not   been   effected   between   the   parties.    The<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife  also did not claim  maintenance  as  a<\/p>\n<p>divorced wife.  The petitioner did not utter a word  in<\/p>\n<p>his  testimony that the marital tie between him and the<\/p>\n<p>respondent was snapped on execution of document Ex.D.1.   <\/p>\n<p>All   that   he  stated  was  that  they  were   living<\/p>\n<p>separately.  Therefore, the Sahamati Patra Ex.D.1  does<\/p>\n<p>not snap the marital tie between the petitioner and the<\/p>\n<p>respondent.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11.    The   only   question  that  now   remains   for<\/p>\n<p>consideration  is  whether learned Judicial  Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>First  Class,  Bemetara was justified in  holding  that<\/p>\n<p>under   Section   125   (4)   of   the   Cr.P.C.    the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/wife was disentitled to maintenance  on  the<\/p>\n<p>ground  that she was living separately from her husband<\/p>\n<p>by  mutual  consent.  Admittedly, the marriage  between<\/p>\n<p>two spouses was solemnized in the year 1982.  Gauna was  <\/p>\n<p>performed  in  1983.   A child was  born  in  1984  and<\/p>\n<p>thereafter  in 1985 the respondent separated  from  her<\/p>\n<p>husband.   The  document Ex.D.1 dated  02.10.1989  does  <\/p>\n<p>show  that  the  petitioner and  the  respondents  were<\/p>\n<p>living separately by mutual consent.  The pleadings  of<\/p>\n<p>the  respondent\/wife and the evidence to show that  the<\/p>\n<p>document  Ex.D.1 dated 02.10.1989 was got executed  per  <\/p>\n<p>force  is wholly unworthy of any credit because had  it<\/p>\n<p>been  true the respondent\/wife would not have hesitated<\/p>\n<p>to  lodge  a  police report or to take any other  legal<\/p>\n<p>action  against  the husband.  Shri  P.P.Sahu,  learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel  for  the  respondent\/wife  admitted  that  the<\/p>\n<p>respondent  did not ever take any step for  restitution<\/p>\n<p>of  conjugal rights.  Thus, the document Ex.D.1 clearly<\/p>\n<p>evidences   that   the   respondent\/wife   was   living<\/p>\n<p>separately  from  her husband by mutual  consent.   The<\/p>\n<p>fact that after separating from her husband in the year<\/p>\n<p>1985,  the respondent\/wife did not file any application<\/p>\n<p>for  receiving maintenance from her husband for as many<\/p>\n<p>as  18  years also substantiates that during  all  this<\/p>\n<p>period, the respondent\/wife was living separately  from<\/p>\n<p>her husband by mutual consent.  The finding recorded by<\/p>\n<p>the   J.M.F.C.   that  the  respondent\/wife   and   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner  were  living separately by mutual  consent,<\/p>\n<p>and therefore, under sub-section (4) of Section 125  of<\/p>\n<p>the  Cr.P.C.  the respondent\/wife was not  entitled  to<\/p>\n<p>receive  maintenance  having  been  founded  on  proper<\/p>\n<p>appreciation  of  evidence, oral as  also  documentary,<\/p>\n<p>cannot  be  faulted with.  Even the learned  Additional<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge did not find any illegality in the  said<\/p>\n<p>finding and erred in taking a different view by holding<\/p>\n<p>that the respondent\/wife was entitled to maintenance as<\/p>\n<p>a  divorced  wife.  The Additional Sessions  Judge  had<\/p>\n<p>thus clearly overstepped the jurisdiction vested in  it<\/p>\n<p>by law while exercising revisional jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>12.   In this view of the matter, the revision deserves<\/p>\n<p>to  be  and is accordingly allowed.  The impugned order<\/p>\n<p>dated  13.10.2006  passed  by the  Additional  Sessions<\/p>\n<p>Judge  is  set  aside while affirming the  order  dated<\/p>\n<p>19.07.2005  passed  by  the Judicial  Magistrate  First<\/p>\n<p>Class, Bemetara.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                JUDGE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chattisgarh High Court Mayaram Nishad vs Jamuna Bai on 9 April, 2009 HIGH COURT OF CHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR Criminal Revision No 681 of 2006 Mayaram Nishad &#8230;Petitioners versus Jamuna Bai &#8230;Respondents !
