and his mother. She started shouting at the top of her voice

embarrassing situations for the Appellant and his family which
came as shocking incident for them. Respondent used to pick
up quarrel without any reason.
d) Thereafter, the Appellant along with the Respondent shifted to
a rented residence in New Delhi on 20.7.2004. Even after
shifting to Delhi, the behaviour of the Respondent remained
the same. The Respondent started behaving with the
Appellant in a violent, cruel, disrespectful and oppressive
manner. Respondent started dominating and shouting on the
Appellant and when Appellant tries to calm her down she says
that she will seal his mouth with tape, if he tries to stop her
from shouting. Respondent even started abusing and
complaining the Appellant that in her house at Dhanbad even
servants ate in better crockery and humiliate the Appellant by
saying that the house, furniture and the other items and
belongings are fit only for servants which the Appellant been
able to arrange only after 12 years of honest hard work or
given by parents.
e) It is humbly submitted that during their joint stay at the
matrimonial home, Respondent never took any interest in
doing any household work such as cooking, looking after the
house etc and therefore, Appellant had to do all the household
works. That the Appellant even has to leave his home some
times without eating anything if he was not able to cook
because of lack of time. Respondent used to wake up very
late, not to take morning baths, used to eat all the meals on
bed, have a bath in evening around 7-8 pm creating
unhygienic and an environment not possible to live in.
Respondent never used to listen to the Appellant and used to
pick up unnecessary quarrels, arguments and even
complaints of feeling embarrassed in sitting with the Appellant
and in going out and not even allowing the Appellant to sleep
properly after a whole day of hard work.
f) That the Respondent used to threaten the Appellant that if
the Appellant did not obey her instructions she would commit
suicide by taking poison and by implicating all the family
members in false criminal cases of dowry harassment.
g) That shockingly for the Appellant, one day father of the
Respondent called him and told him to ask for his share from
his parents so that Respondent could live a luxurious life. On
the refusal by the Appellant, Respondents and his family
members abused the Appellant and his family members.
h) That the Respondent used to dominate and object and
question his routine acts and academic pursuit such as
listening to music, exercising, taking over phone, pursuing
higher studies etc. Respondent and her family used to
threaten the Appellant stating that her family is very influential
in Begusarai (Bihar) of dire consequences and of getting him
and his family members arrested in false cases, if he would
not part his share with his family and hand it over to the
Respondent.
i) That the Respondent constantly used to threaten the
Appellant directly and indirectly through her friends and
colleagues, their spouses and domestic help that she will
destroy his career and reputation, if he will not listen and
succumb to her unjust demands and pressure.

on 20.5.2005 and never came back and is residing with her
father at Q. No. RH – 5/6, Township Refinery, Baruni, Distt:

even did not allowed the Appellant to meet his only child. This
itself amounts to mental cruelty on the part of the Respondent
towards the Appellant.
m) That the Appellant tried to calm her down by saying that the
matter needs to be resolved amicably and not through threats
and asked the Respondent and her family members to come
and live with the Appellant in the matrimonial home to which

support and the threatening from the Respondent and her

passed by the court of Mr. Deepak Jagotra, Judge Family

Appellant is filing the instant Appeal.
3. GROUNDS
That the orders and judgment dated 16.12.2011 passed in HMA
No.678 of 2010 is being assailed by the Appellant on the
following amongst various other grounds:-
A) Because the impugned order and judgment dated
16.12.2011 passed by the court of Mr. Deepak Jagotra, Judge
Family Courts, Dwarka, Delhi in H.M.A Case No. 678 is bad in
the eyes of law and hence the same is liable to be struck
down by this Hon’ble Court.
B) Because the Respondent was Ex-parte in H.M.A Case No.
678/2010, yet the impugned order and judgment passed in
favor of Respondent.
C) Because the Court below committed a grave error in holding
that the Appellant has failed to show even a single incident of
alleged cruelty caused by the Respondent when in view of the
facts and circumstances of the case and the evidence
adduced clearly shows the brutal, unacceptable and
unchanging acts and behaviors of the Respondent and the
threats and acts amounting to mental cruelty against the
Appellant and his family members which has made it
impossible for the Appellant to live with the Respondent.
D) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to appreciate that refusing
the Appellant to meet his only daughter after birth itself
amounts to mental cruelty on the part of the Respondent and
towards the Appellant.
E) Because the Ld Trial court has failed to consider the crux of
the whole episode is based on two pillars i.e.
Forced/Fraudulent Marriage and Criminal conspiracy.
F) Because the Ld. Trial court failed to appreciate that
Respondent being the wife not visiting the Appellant, when his
father was on death bed and there after not participating in the
last rites of his father itself amounts to cruelty.
G) Because the Ld. Trial court has failed to asses the extent of
cruelty and failed to consider the evidence led before the Ld.
Trial Court.
H) Because the Ld Trial court failed to consider that the various
incidents as specified/narrated in the Petition as well as in the
evidence led before the Ld. Trial Court.
I) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to appreciate that the
Respondent was residing separately since 17.04.2005 and
there after there was no cohabitation between the parties
because of the desertion by the Respondent itself amounts to
cruelty.
J) Because the Ld. Trial Court despite holding that the
Respondent is not interested in continuing the matrimonial tie
with the Appellant has dismissed the Petition of the Appellant
by granting him a judicial separation.
K) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that there is no
faith, trust, belief or any feeling existing between the parties
and as such it is impossible for them to live together as
husband and wife and the marriage is irretrievable broken
down between the parties.
L) Because the Ld . Trial court failed to consider that the
Appellant was always living a scare life about his physical
safety, health and life because of the constant threats of the
Respondents and his family members.
M) Because the Ld . Trial court failed to consider that the
Respondent tried her best to cause damage to the Appellant
and otherwise to the reputation of the Appellant and his family
members by constant threats of suicide, implicating in false
cases and causing intense mental and physical cruelty.
N) Because the Ld . Trial court failed to consider that
Respondent constantly used to dominate and threaten the
Appellant directly and indirectly through his friends and
colleagues, their spouses and domestic help that she will
destroy his career and reputation, is he will not listen and
succumb to her unjust demands and pressure
O) Because the Ld . Trial court failed to consider that
Respondent also used to terrorize the Appellant by suicide
threats and getting him killed and to take over his all his
assets, money and other belongings and a result of the state
of affairs, Appellant was living a scared life full of threat and
started suffering with high blood pressure, mental and physical
stress, weight loss, insomnia.
P) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to appreciate that due to
the said state of affairs created by the Respondent, Appellant
was not able to go to his work and has to loose his job and
became an unemployed and present undergoing severe
mental depression.
Q) Because the behavior and acts of the Respondent has
caused mental cruelty and trauma to the Appellant and his
family members.
R) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to appreciate that the
Respondent did not pay any attention to the desire/request of
the dying father of the Appellant to see the face of his only
grandchild.
S) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
Respondent also used to threaten the Appellant that if the
Appellant did not obey her instructions or dared to intervene in
her personal matter, she would commit suicide by taking
poison and implicate them in false and frivolous cases.
T) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that Appellant
has tried his best to carry on the relationship on his part but
the behavior of the Respondent has never changed towards
the Appellant and his family members.
U) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to appreciate that
Appellant and his family members always have to be
embarrassed in society due to the acts and quarrelsome
nature and behaviour of the Respondent and felt humiliated as
Respondent used to pick up quarrel in front of elders of the
family and the society creating humiliating and embarrassing
situations for the Appellant and his family members.
V) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
Appellant approached the Respondent many a times but he
was even denied of having access or to meet his daughter by
the Respondent.
W) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the
Respondent with mal intention and to harass and humiliate the
Appellant filed false and frivolous cases against the Appellant
and his mother. Respondent filed an application under section
12 of Domestic Violence Act, 2005, on 30th March 2010.
X) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that the family
members and relatives of the Respondent kept on giving
constant life threat to the Appellant with dire consequences till
date. Appellant was stopped and beaten by the goons of the
Respondent family at the entry gate of Dwarka Court on the
30.5.2011 which was the date of hearing and the Appellant
has even made police complaint dated 30.5.2011, 6.6.2011 in
this regard.
Y) Because the Ld. Trial Court failed to consider that it is a
settled legal position that there cannot be condonation if the
offending spouse continues to indulge in the commission of
further acts of cruelty either physical or mental. Either a
temporary stay or even resumption of conjugal rights though
may be strong circumstances to infer condonation on the part
of the offending spouse but the same by itself would not be
sufficient to draw an inference of condonation unless such a
stay and resumption of conjugal relationship is with an intent
to restore back the marital relationship with a sense of
forgiveness and consequently not to indulge in either
repeating the previous acts or to inflict more cruelty as held by
this Hon’ble Court in Dr. Seema Vs. Dr. Alkesh Chaudhary.
Z) Because in Samar Ghosh versus Jaya Ghosh 2007 (5)
SCALE 1, it was observed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court's
that there cannot be any comprehensive definition of the
concept of "mental cruelty", given the wide spectrum of human
behaviour. Cruelty was held to differ from person to person
depending on upbringing, sensitivity, education, family and
cultural background, financial position, social status, customs,
traditions, religious beliefs and value systems. The concept of
mental cruelty was held to be dynamic and changing with the
passage of time and the impact of modern culture. Observing
that a uniform standard could not be laid down, the Supreme
Court enumerated instances of human behaviour that would
be relevant in dealing with cases of "mental cruelty".
The following instances were indicated as illustrative, though
not exhaustive, with regard to adjudging mental cruelty: A
husband undergoing sterilization without medical reasons and
without the consent or knowledge of his wife may lead to
mental cruelty. A wife undergoing sterilization or abortion
without medical reasons or without the consent or knowledge
of the husband may lead to mental cruelty. Unilateral decision
of refusal to have intercourse for a considerable period without
any physical incapacity or valid reason may amount to mental
cruelty. Unilateral decision of either husband or wife after
marriage not to have a child may amount to mental cruelty.
Acute mental pain, agony and suffering to a degree that would
not make it possible for the parties to stay with each other. On
a comprehensive appraisal of the entire matrimonial life, if it
becomes clear that the wronged party cannot reasonably be
asked to put up with such conduct and continue to live with the
other party.
AA) Because in the case of Shobha Rani v. Madhukar
Reddi reported in (1988) 1 SCC 105, the apex Court had an
occasion to examine the concept of cruelty. It was held that
the word ‘cruelty’ has not been defined in the Hindu Marriage
Act. It has been used in Section 13(1)(i)(a) of the Act in the
context of human conduct or behaviour in relation to or in
respect of matrimonial duties or obligations. It is a course of
conduct of one which is adversely affecting the other. The
cruelty may be mental or physical, intentional or unintentional.
If it is physical, it is a question of fact and degree. If it is
mental, the enquiry must begin as to the nature of the cruel
treatment and then as to the impact of such treatment on the
mind of the spouse. Whether it caused reasonable
apprehension that it would be harmful or injurious to live with
the other, ultimately, is a matter of inference to be drawn by
taking into account the nature of the conduct and its effect on
the complaining spouse. There may, however, be cases
where the conduct complained of itself is bad enough and per
se unlawful or illegal. Then the impact or the injurious effect on
the other spouse need not be enquired into or considered. In
such cases, the cruelty will be established if the conduct itself
is proved or admitted. The absence of intention should not
make any difference in the case, if by ordinary sense in
human affairs, the act complained of could otherwise be
regarded as cruelty. Intention is not a necessary element in
cruelty. The relief to the party cannot be denied on the ground
that there has been no deliberate or wilful ill-treatment.
BB) In the case of V. Bhagat v. D. Bhagat (Mrs.) reported in
(1994) 1 SCC 337, the apex Court observed, in para 16 at
page 347, as under:
“16. Mental cruelty in Section 13(1)(i-a) can broadly be
defined as that conduct which inflicts upon the other party
such mental pain and suffering as would make it not
possible for that party to live with the other. In other words,
mental cruelty must be of such a nature that the parties
cannot reasonably be expected to live together. The
situation must be such that the wronged party cannot
reasonably be asked to put up with such conduct and
continue to live with the other party. It is not necessary to
prove that the mental cruelty is such as to cause injury to
the health of the Appellant. While arriving at such
conclusion, regard must be had to the social status,
educational level of the parties, the society they move in,
the possibility or otherwise of the parties ever living
together in case they are already living apart and all other
relevant facts and circumstances which it is neither
possible nor desirable to set out exhaustively. What is
cruelty in one case may not amount to cruelty in another
case. It is a matter to be determined in each case having
regard to the facts and circumstances of that case. If it is a
case of accusations and allegations, regard must also be
had to the context in which they were made.”
CC) Because in Gananath Pattnaik v. State of Orissa
reported in (2002) 2 SCC 619 observed as under:
“The concept of cruelty and its effect varies from individual
to individual, also depending upon the social and economic
status to which such person belongs. “Cruelty” for the
purposes of constituting the offence under the aforesaid
section need not be physical. Even mental torture or
abnormal behaviour may amount to cruelty and
harassment in a given case.”
4. That the Appellant has not preferred any other Appeal before this
Hon’ble Court or the Hon’ble Supreme Court against the
impugned order dated 16.12.2011 passed by the Mr. Deepak
Jagotra, Judge Family Courts, Dwarka, Delhi in Petition under
section 13(1)(1A) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for decree of
divorce on behalf of Appellant in HMA Case No. 678 of 2010
5. That this Hon’ble Court has got the jurisdiction to entertain the
present Appeal as the concerned Ld. Trial Court is court below to
this Hon’ble Court.
6. That the Appellant has no other efficacious and effective measure
against the order dated 16.12.2011 passed by the Mr. Deepak
Jagotra, Judge Family Courts, Dwarka, Delhi in Petition under
section 13(1)(1A) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for decree of

7. That the annexure appended to the present Appeal are true
copies of their respective originals. That the instant Appeal is filed
within limitation period.

power of superintendence may kindly be pleased to:-
a. Allow the present Appeal and set aside the impugned
order dated 16.12.2011 passed by the Ld. Principal
Judge Family Courts, Dwarka, Delhi in Petition under

ANNEXURE A-2(Colly)
New Delhi 25/11/2004
Respected Father in Law, Pranam! You are well aware and you have accepted these facts that you have back stabbed me with the help of your wrong nexus with power, black money, goons and your own ill motive. You have snatched and ruined the only crutches of my ailing old age parents and house. Your house would have never seen the pump and show of marriage of your any daughters; no happiness would have come, because no body from the poddar community was ready to marry with your defective, physically disabled eldest daughter. You have punished me for my blind faith on you and your family. You have taken my social service for your own vested interest. I was the single pampered son of my parents whom you have destroyed for ever. You had shown your second daughter who was physically and mentally fit for the marriage but by force at gun point solemnized marriage with defective, physically disabled eldest daughter who was the main hurdle for the marriage and happiness of your rest of your daughters. Alright, now I am compelled and pressurized by you to defend the social prestige of my parents and family. However, Rina cannot do any household work. She is using quilt even in scorching heat, she does not even sweat in the scorching heat, and she says, I am like this since childhood. She further says, I cannot do household work, cannot cook and even cannot render nursing care and support to the in-laws. Keep maid servant for that. I am a premature (seven month) delivered baby. My parents have performed the marriage rituals just to remove my unmarried ship. My father was not in favour of my marriage, he wanted to keep me at home without my marriage for life long. It was only my mother, who was adamant and taken a pledge to perform the rituals of marriage even at the cost of fraud planning. My orthodox mother believes that the unmarried ship of elder daughter is considered to be a great sin in the Hindu religious mythology. She always seems to be irritated and shouting to pinch me for my poverty and for my handicapped ailing father. She collects neighbors by way of shouting at the top of her voice that my family members are lunatic. You kindly make her understand that my three member’s family is very-very small and closely knitted family.
Please make her understand to stop her from tarnishing my social image. Her manifested behavior and attitude seems astonishing. She seems mentally imbalanced. When I try to make her understand then she reverts back me with violent sound that everybody in her family knows this fact. She says, my parents are well aware about the fact that I am defective since birth. They have solemnized this marriage intentionally. No body from Poddar community was ready establishing marriage relationship with my family because of me. Your parents were handicapped and innocent simple guys therefore did this marriage. Now, in laws, I am mentally upset what to do? How to run my house? How to save the life of my parents? And above all how to solve this never-ending unsolved problem? You people have intentionally destroyed my happy small family. Now, I am surviving just as a living dead body. I am dying every moment because of the day to day quarrel and pinching comments by her. I pray from you with folded handed to save my three member family from all time devastating catastrophe. You may please intervene in between to correct the behavior of your daughter Rina. Hope, you will pay attention to my difficulties and keep the derailed train on the track. Yours truly, Om prakash
New Delhi
20/06/2005 Beloved Rina, You deserted me and left my father on his own condition when he was on death bed. You left with your father to Dhanbad in the pretext of delivery as per the direction/instruction of your parents. You did not pay any heed to my crisis situation, I kept on crying but you ignored it. I and my dying father desire to see the face of the baby. He is not expecting to live more days. It is his last desire to see the face of his only grand child. I too am willing to see the baby. Kindly bring her here or else allow me to reach there. Even now you have an opportunity to correct your attitude and to accept the in laws house. This is your real home. I again pray with folded handed to come back at the earliest. Yours truly, Om prakash
New Delhi 07/08/2005
Loving Father In law, Pranam with respect! Father in Law, I have tried to contact Rina many a times over telephone in the month of June, 2005 but she did not pick up my call. She even did not reply me back the letter of dated 25th June, 2005. I had prayed her to come back with baby. I am neither in a position to concentrate on the deteriorating health of my ailing parents nor in a position to concentrate on my private job. I am always encountering loneliness. I am always experiencing restlessness. Sometimes, I have to rush to hospital, cook in the kitchen, massage to my mother, father is bedridden stool and urine are passing through catheter on the bed itself. How can I run one man show? What should I do? Should I do job or render nursing care and support to the needy parents? Nothing comes to my restless mind at this point of time. It seems that I have to sacrifice my career and chose to concentrate on my ailing parents. Because, It is my belief that I can get private jobs latter in my life but father once gone will never come back to hold my hand. However, it is the matter of great grief that Rina neither bother to reply me back of my letters nor bother to talk over telephone. We are restless to see the baby. Father in law, you being an eldest member in your family can enlighten her with worldly practical knowledge to bring her on the right track. I am writing this letter with great hope for needing your help and kind intervention in this matter. I am sustaining my life with great pain. I am feeling the vacuum of life partner and baby in my life. Eyes are tirelessly waiting to see them. I have started developing the symptom of forgetting things due to relentless anxiety. I have started experiencing black outs in front of my eyes. Now, I am not in a position to write a single line further because of my severe emotional sensitivity, just send them back at the earliest. Father in Law, you being an eldest in your family can play a role of torch bearer for correcting your daughter Rina. Yours truly, Om Prakash
New Delhi 10/01/2008
Loving Rina, Love! I am writing you with great grief that I have lost my father untimely. Neither you nor any member from your family bothered to attend the funeral or participated in the post funereal rituals. Your presence was obvious and needed to perform “grinding of rice” custom in the post funeral rituals which is done by the daughter in law as per the Hindu mythology. However, my mother had to do in your absence. It has become meaningless for me to consider you as my wife and daughter in Law for this house. Being an educated person and responsible husband, today you have compelled me to feel that the name of so called wife has become meaning less for me in my life. You have tarnished our social image and I suspect whether you have performed the post funeral rituals of that baby or not. I am saying it with great griefs that kindly spell me out clearly whether or not you want to remain as my wife. I will be waiting for your reply. Yours truly, Om Prakash

3. That it would not be out of context to mention here that at the
time of marriage of the parents of the respondent had intentionally
and deliberately concealed the age and qualification(s) of the
respondent from the knowledge of the family of the petitioner.
4. That the marriage of the applicant with the respondent was
solemnized as per customs and rites in the Hotel Satkar at Katihar
(Bihar) with Pump and Show amongst a gathering of kith and kin
and the invitees.
5. That after the solemnization of marriage the applicant and his
parents took the respondent to her matrimonial home situated at
Sukkar Haat Sonaili, Kadwa Distt.: Katihar (Bihar) on 25th June
2004.
6. That the respondent resided under the roof of her matrimonial
home at Sonaili till 18th day of July 2004.
7. That the applicant works at Delhi and resides there and even on
the date of his marriage with respondent, he was in private job at
Delhi and the applicant took the respondent to his rented residence
in New Delhi and there the respondent resided with the applicant.
8. That the petitioner and the respondent reached Delhi on 20th July,
2004 and from this day of marriage the instances of cruelty began
at the part of the respondent; The Respondent Smt Rina Kumari
started behaving very strangely from 25th June, 2004 itself, i.e.
immediately one day after the marriage and soon after reaching
Delhi. She started misbehaving with the Petitioner, his father (then
aged 65 years), his mother (then aged 60 years). She started
arguing with them on various extremely trivial matters and on
requests by the Petitioner and his family members to calm down,
she started shouting at the top of her voice, creating an extremely
embarrassing situation in front of the guests present there and also
in front of the neighbours who could hear her shouting. Somehow,
the Petitioner and his family members managed to calm her down
at that time through repeated requests. This act on the part of
respondent was embarrassing and stressing for the petitioner and
his family members just within few days of marriage in the
traditional family set up, where so many relatives and family
members had not left the house.
9. That soon after reaching Delhi Residence on 20th July,2004 and
thereafter, the Petitioner’s wife Smt Rina Kumari started showing
extremely abnormal, awkward, cruel, disrespectful and oppressive
behaviour against him without any just reason. She referred to the
discussion she had with the Petitioner and his parents etc. at Delhi
on 20th July 2004 and said “I listened to you at that time, but no
one has the courage to stop me from shouting, and if you stop me
in future, I will seal your mouth with tape”. The Petitioner got
shocked listening to such words from a newly-wed bride and could
not respond to her in any manner out of utter shock, agony and
despair.
10. That from the very first day of reaching Delhi, the Respondent
started referring the Petitioner and every possession of his with
utter derogation, which were either collected by the Petitioner after
12 years of honest and hard work or given to him by his parents.
She referred to the house, furniture, crockery and other things to
be ‘fit only for servants’ and that in her own house at Dhanbad
even servants ate in better crockery.
11. That the Respondent even endlessly argued on the fact that the
House was not an Officer’s Quarter and referred to the house as
being fit for servants only.
12. That the Respondent always complained to the Petitioner that she
felt embarrassed in sitting with the petitioner and that her parents
in Dhanbad possessed even luxurious vehicles. Such repeated acts
of derogation, degradation and insult by the Respondent led to
Petitioner’s severe mental anguish and disturbance.
13. That the Respondent-wife did not show any interest in doing any
household work such as cooking, looking after the house etc. The
Petitioner, therefore, had to do all the household works, even after
the marriage. Even after Petitioner’s repeated requests, the
Respondent did not budge and did not show any interest in any
household work. Often the Petitioner had to leave his home for
office in a hungry state.
14. That the Respondent was in a habit of waking up very late, and by
that time, the Petitioner would clean the house and get ready for
his work after his routine exercising etc. The Petitioner would urge
the Respondent to get up a little early and take some interest in
the household work which would also keep her a little busy.
However, the Respondent did not listen to his advice and instead
shouted at him as to how dare he had courage to ask him to do so.
After each bit of advice from the Petitioner, the Respondent would
argue, shout, cry and throw all sorts of tantrums to create an
embarrassing situation for the Petitioner.
15. That the Respondent would not only get up late but would also
never take a bath in the morning, go to toilet etc. in time. She
would keep lying in the bed the whole day. She would eat all her
meals only on the bed and would have a bath only in the evening
(after 7-8 PM) when the Petitioner was about to reach back home
after his office work. All this reflected not only indiscipline but also
an unhygienic aspect of the Respondent’s personality. There were
often arguments between the Petitioner and the Respondent on
these hygiene issues and the Petitioner advised the Respondent to
finish her daily chores timely in the morning and have her meals
with him properly and not on bed, but the Respondent would never
listen to the advice of the Petitioner to mend her ways.
16. That often on trivial matters, the Respondent misbehaved, argued
and quarreled with the Petitioner endlessly not allowing him to
sleep after his hard day’s work till late in the night and not
acceding to his request to let him sleep.
17. That, shockingly, the Respondent would often threaten to seal the
Petitioner’s mouth with tape whenever he would try to appease her
and calm her down. She would also threaten to harm him
physically if the Petitioner wouldn’t relent to her control-freak,
dominating and oppressive ways of behaviour, wherein the
Petitioner was denied a free way of existence and all things of his
choice and liking. All his routine, intellectual and academic pursuits
such as listening to music, talking over phone, exercising in the
morning, watching television, pursuing higher education etc. were
repeatedly questioned by the Respondent in order to gain complete
control over him. She would try to ruthlessly dominate him,
denigrate him in front of his friends, colleagues and domestic help
and also force him to severe his ties with his family members.
18. That it was surprising and shocking for the petitioner that on one
day the petitioner received a call from father of the Respondent
wanted the Petitioner to ask his parents for his share in the
property and hand over it to her so that she could live life
luxuriously. When the Petitioner refused to do any such thing, the
respondent uttered extremely abusive and derogatory words
against the Petitioner and his family members. Thus, from the very
beginning of the marriage, the Respondent wife showed extremely
argumentative, cruel and greedy nature of her character.
19. That the Respondent uttered shockingly disrespectful and
derogatory things about the Petitioner and his possessions to his
domestic help also and even to all his friends and colleagues and
their spouses, and thereby tried to harm his personal and official
reputation, resulting in severe mental anguish, harassment and
mental stress.
20. That on so many occasions in the few months she stayed with the
Petitioner, the Respondent threatened the Petitioner though his
friends and colleagues and their spouses that she would ‘teach him
and his family a good lesson’ and would destroy his career and
official and personal reputation if the petitioner doesn’t succumb to
her ill motive and unwanted demands that could give her sadistic
pleasure.
21. That the respondent continued with her cruel, oppressive,
dominating, abusive and control-freak behaviour despite the fact
that Petitioner tried to normalize the situation and calm and please
her by taking her out for movies, dinners, various classical music
shows i.e santooar recital of Rahul Sharma at Purana Quila, New
Delhi, Bhakti Mahotsav at Nehru park, chanakya puri, Delhi, concert
of Pop Singer shaan at NSIC grounds, Kalkaji, Delhi between
Feb,2005 – April 2005 and also plays and dance programs being
held at different places in Delhi. However, she would not let the
Petitioner stay in peace there also, and within a few minutes of the
start of the programs would force the Petitioner to leave the venue
for home. When the Petitioner requested the Respondent to stay
put for some more time, as the performing artists of the classical
programs would get disturbed if the audience started moving out.
She would not listen and started shouting in front of all the
audience and create an extremely embarrassing situation in front of
the Petitioner who would have no choice but to leave the venue as
demanded by the Respondent. Such incidences would leave the
Petitioner shocked, dejected, hurt and deeply anguished.
22. That the Respondent also repeatedly threatened the Petitioner
directly and also indirectly through other people such as his
domestic help, friends and colleagues that she was ‘capable of
going to any extent’ and taking the ‘most extreme step’ to harm
the Petitioner and his family members if they do not succumb to
the unrealistic behaviour and ill will. Because of her repeated acts
of direct and indirect threatening, the Petitioner always lived in a
state of fear, anxiety, apprehension and mental stress.
23. That the Respondent would often threaten the Petitioner directly
and indirectly that her family is very influential in Begusarai and
knows several Police officials, Administrative officers, local political
leaders and Lawyers, and would threaten that she was capable of
getting the Petitioner and his family jailed on any false pretext of
dowry harassment and cruelty, if the Petitioner wouldn’t part with
his share of his parents property and hand it over to her.
24. That the Respondent routinely threatened the Petitioner that she
knew that all the Laws are in favour of wives (women) and that she
would take some extreme step to teach the Petitioner a good
lesson if he doesn’t relent to her threats & demands and
oppressive, dominating & control-freak behaviour.
25. That when the Petitioner did not relent to the Respondent’s threats
and unlawful demands, the Respondent resorted to another
shocking way of making the Petitioner relent to her demands and
oppressive ways of behaviour. Within a few days of marriage, she
started threatening that she would commit suicide whenever the
Petitioner tried to appease her in course of arguments and
discussions with her. The Petitioner initially got extremely scared
listening to this threat and also relented to Respondent’s demands
to some extent.
26. That even after getting repeatedly terrorized by the Respondent by
suicide threats, when the Petitioner did not completely surrender to
her unlawful demands and dominating behaviour, she then started
threatening that she would get the Petitioner killed and take control
over all his assets, such as Household effects, Money, Gratuity,
Pension, Provident Fund etc. The Petitioner got extremely
terrorized and felt very scared living in the same house with a wife
constantly threatening him of suicide and murder. The petitioner
did not find it suitable to bring these things before the police or any
other authority in order to bring everything in its normal conditions
and with a hope that the respondent would realise her fault and
improvement may come in her behaviours and the marriage shall
persist. But all in vain the respondent did not bring in any
improvement rather her cruelty went on increasing the intensity of
cruelty went on increasing with the span of time.
27. That the Petitioner often discussed his unfortunate state of agony
with his parents over phone. His parents got very worried and
would advise that such things could be due to initial adjustment
problems in a new marriage or due to some temperamental
problems and that he should continue to appease the respondent
so that a normal matrimonial life could begin.
28. That, despite all efforts from the side of the Petitioner, the
Respondent continued to threaten him to destroy his life, career,
personal and official reputation and that of his family members,
directly or indirectly. As a result, the Petitioner started suffering
from high blood pressure, severe mental & physical stress, weight
loss and insomnia. He could not sleep properly for weeks, as he
was very scared of his wife that she would get her killed and he felt
very insecure staying with the Respondent in his own house.
29. That the Petitioner tried repeatedly and requested the Respondent
to mend her ways. But, the Respondent did not listen to him and
continued with the practice of spreading derogatory and degrading
things about him, his position and his possessions and also her
habit of threatening and blackmailing him till late in the night,
every day.
30. That due to her argumentative, crooked, conspiring, rigid,
belligerent, cruel, insensitive and inhuman behaviour and also on
account of her domineering and control-freak attitude, the
Petitioner could never relate to her mentally, physically and
intellectually and till the time the Respondent stayed with him, i.e.
15th April 2005, the Petitioner and Respondent were not able to
have a normal relationship of husband and wife, for which she is
solely responsible.
31. That however, as a result of cohabitation, the respondent
conceived and when her pregnancy came to advanced stage, the
respondent communicated this to her father, who came to Delhi
with the return ticket for himself and the respondent in Poorva
Express New Delhi to Kolkata bound train dated 15th April, 2005
and offered a proposal to the applicant to allow his daughter to go
to his place of service/ residence on the ground that the
respondent required the Nursing and presence of her mother at the
time of delivery of child.
It is pertinent to mention here that the applicant’s handicapped,
diabetic father was undergoing treatment with AIIMS and needing
care and support of family members. As applicant did not have any
male or female member to support his infirm father and was
reeling under wretched condition because of unemployment
therefore respondent’s father preferred to leave the petitioner and
his bedridden infirm father on their own condition and went back to
his official quarter then in Dhanbad.
32. Applicant did not accept the proposal but the respondent and her
father did not pay any heed to his request and his condition
accusing him of wretched condition and preferred to go back to his
company allotted quarter of Dhanbad.
33. That the father of the respondent took the respondent to his
Government residence at Dhanbad (Bihar), now in Jharkhand.
34. That the respondent gave birth to a female child at Dhanbad and
now she is residing with her father at Q.NO. RH-5/6, Township,
Refinery, Baruni, Distt.: Begusarai, where the father of the
respondent is employed as Assistant Manager (RC), Marketing
Division with Indian Oil Corporation.
35. That the applicant is residing at Delhi and makes occasional visits
at his parental house at Sonaili. That a girl child was born out of
this wed lock between the petitioner and the respondent herein on
20th May 2005 in Dhanbad.
36. That the father of the respondent has earlier been residing at
Dhanbad, but after vacating his official quarter at Dhanbad, is
residing in his official quarter within the premises of Indian Oil
Corporation at Barauni. P.S.: Barauni, Distt.: Bagusarai (Bihar) and
his family is residing in personal owned Flat in Patna and is making
occasional visit to IOC Barauni’s official quarter, the address of
Patna is not known to the petitioner, as the petitioner has not
visited the residence of the respondent since the date of marriage.
37. That the mother of the applicant has also grown old and is
suffering from severe chronic asthma and is not able to cope with
all the domestic drudgeries.
38. That the applicant/petitioner also resides at Delhi alone with no
soul to look after him and to attend to his needs.
39. That the applicant placed in the predicament narrated above, made
request to respondent to come to Delhi in his company, but the
respondent did not pay any heed to the request of the applicant
made on telephone as well as through various letters, despite the
request has been made on the number of occasion.
40. That the applicant arranged a contact with the father of the
respondent on telephone and requested him to bring the
respondent to his residence at Delhi but he gave evasive reply and
on repetition of such request by the applicant / petitioner, the
father of the respondent grew irritant and refused to send his
daughter either to Sonaili or to Delhi.
41. That the respondent also in the words of his father refused to come
to Sonaili or to Delhi.
42. That the applicant / petitioner himself visited the official residence
of the father of the respondent at Barauni, Distt.: Begusarai with
the sole motive to bring his wife/respondent back to Delhi or to
Sonaili, but the respondent and her father displayed annoyance at
such request and denied to comply with the same, the father of the
respondent also threatened the applicant / respondent with dire
consequences and asked him to quit the places.
43. That while stay in Delhi every day the respondent used to pick up
quarrel and did not prepare food and used to inflict physical and mental cruelty on the petitioner and his parents. The respondent used to behave in an inhuman manner with the petitioner resulting in mental agony / cruelty upon the petitioner and always threatened to commit suicide to put them behind the bar.
44. That the respondent used to abuse the petitioner and his parents
without any rhyme or reason. It is pertinent to mention here that in
fact the respondent was abnormal child by birth in comparison to
her other sisters and brother and was mentally retarded, which fact
was never disclosed by the parents of the respondent at the time of
marriage. The petitioner and his parents came to know this fact
only when the petitioner and respondent stayed at Delhi
45. The respondent quite often used to quarrel with the petitioner on
flimsy issues such as issues Like poverty, wretched condition, ailing parents / family and used to abuse the petitioner and her parents daily without any rhyme or reason.
46. That the respondent and his parents quite often pressurized the
petitioner and also inflicted mental cruelty upon the petitioner, which had made the petitioner impossible to live with them.
47. That during the short span of about 8-9 months during which the
petitioner stayed with the respondent at Delhi, she never stayed as a homely wife and never behaved properly/normally.
48. That not only this, the respondent never allowed the petitioner to
visit his parents even for a single day.
49. That due to the mental and constant cruelty being inflicted by the respondent, the petitioner was not in a position to go to his daily work and had to lose his employment and became unemployed. It is pertinent to mention here that till date the petitioner is unemployed and could not get any suitable employment despite best efforts.
50. It is pertinent to mention here that when the father of the
petitioner was seriously ill and was on death bed undergoing
treatment with AIIMS and taking two meals from Tiffin vendor
ultimately died prematurely due to lack of care and support and
persistent threatening from the respondent’s family on 15th Nov,
2007. The respondent’s family even did not pay any attention to
the desire/request of the dying father of the petitioner to see the
face of his only grandchild as the petitioner was in Delhi, the
respondent who was in her parental house, never cared to take
care of the father of the petitioner, not to talk of visiting his ailing
father. Not only this even the parents of the respondent also did
not visit or take care of the ailing father of the petitioner. They
even did not participate in the last rituals of the petitioner’s
departed father.
51. That the respondent was always treating the petitioner more
harshly because of his poverty, wretched condition, diseased family
/ ailing parents and unemployment. The mental and physical
torture on the petitioner by the respondent and his parents
increased many fold.
52. That the petitioner had made his best effort to have a peaceful
matrimonial life but the respondent did not change her behaviour. 53. That in fact, even during the short period of time when the petitioner
and respondent lived in their matrimonial home at Delhi, the acts of the respondent was unbecoming of a wife. She never bothered to take care of her Husband / the petitioner. She was using quilt even in extreme hot season when a normal people like us use to have cooler / AC. She was sleeping without fan in hot summer days. In winter day her hand used to turn black whenever she touched water.
54. That in fact, it was almost impossible for the petitioner to live with
the respondent due to her act, conduct and treatment with the petitioner.
55. That since 15th April 2005, the respondent has deserted her
matrimonial house and has never contacted the petitioner or tried to come back at her matrimonial House.
56. That the Respondent visited her parent’s place at Begusarai &
Patna several times between 2004 and 2005, the day when she
finally left her matrimonial home in Delhi. The Petitioner always
booked tickets for the Respondent to New Delhi for those
journey(s) so that she could travel comfortably.
57. That to the utter despair, hopelessness and disappointment, the
mother of the Petitioner left for her native place at Sonaili, Katihar
in the last week of Oct, 2005 The Petitioner accompanied her till
Sonaili,katihar and came back. The Respondent did not come with
the Petitioner or to his native place despite several requests made
by the Petitioner and his mother. Finally, the Petitioner and his
mother alone left for Delhi and the Respondent stayed with her
parents at Begusarai / Patna during that time. The mother of the
Petitioner left for her hometown in utter mental anguish and
serious physical condition with her lung disorder getting aggravated
along with severe breathlessness and hypertension, in order to
obtain treatment from her family doctors.
58. That under the prevailing circumstances, the Petitioner was
seriously frightened about his physical safety, health and life
because of the constant threatening and blackmailing tactics of
Respondent, while living alone with her, he started suffering from a
nagging fear that the Respondent might even inflict some harm on
herself or pretend do so in a malicious attempt to destroy the life,
career, personal and official reputation of the Petitioner, because
the Respondent continued to terrorize the Petitioner with her
repeated threats to commit suicide.
59. That in the month of May 2005 the Petitioner tried to appease and
calm her saying that the matter needs to be resolved amicably and
not through threats of dire consequences. Therefore, the Petitioner
advised the Respondent and her family members (parents,
brothers, sisters etc.) that she may be asked to continue to remain
at her matrimonial house.
60. That the Petitioner being a God fearing person and only bread
earner in the family, seriously cared for his career, personal, life
and health and that of his family members. However, the cruel and
quarrelsome behaviour of his Respondent wife made him very
nervous, physically & mentally stressed and frightened due to
repeated threats of suicides and murder and blackmailing and in
the process made his life totally miserable.
61. That due to the circumstances stated above, the Petitioner started
living under serious fear of life, injury and also damage to his
career, personal & official reputation and also of his family
members, on account of constant blackmailing and threatening by
the Respondent, moreover by the parents of the respondent.
62. That in order to avoid such highly undesirable consequences of a
matrimonial relationship that appeared to be beyond redemption
then and in the grave apprehension that the Respondent would try
to implicate the Petitioner in some false criminal cases and try to
harm his personal and official reputation.
63. That right from the first day of marriage, the Respondent has been
misbehaving and treating the Petitioner and his family with intense
cruelty. The Respondent has been quarrelling, harassing and
intimidating the Petitioner and his family for the few months she
stayed with the Petitioner and had always behaved in a crooked
and conspiratory fashion constantly threatening and harassing the
Petitioner and his family. The Respondent never behaved like a
wife but always like an adversary from the very beginning of the
marriage who appeared to have come with a predecided mind to
destroy the matrimonial home, peace and the sanctity of this
relationship.
64. That the Respondent had tried her best to denigrate, degrade and
terrorize the Petitioner to surrender to her unlawful and unethical
demands. She has been in a habit of giving threats to commit
suicide whenever advised to mend her ways. Through her intensely
cruel, insensitive and inhuman nature and through her belligerent
and sadistic attitude and bent of mind, she has caused irreparable,
insurmountable and unfathomable mental trauma, pain, stress,
anguish and deep harassment to the Petitioner and his family
members.
65. That the Respondent has tried her best to cause damage to the
otherwise impeccable reputation of the Petitioner and his family
though her threatening ways of life, including her repeated threats
for committing suicide whenever advised to mend her ways,
blackmailing tactics and has eventually caused intense cruelty.
66. That under the above intensely unbearable circumstances which
are beyond repair and redemption now, the Petitioner fears that
any further continuance of his relation with the Respondent may be
extremely hazardous to his life, property and money, personal and
official reputation and career and also to the life, health, property
and money of his family members.
67. That the parties to petition are not residing together from April
2005 (more than five years) and since then the parties have no
access to each other as they are residing separately and have not
established consummation.
68. That the acts of the respondent have caused mental trauma to the
applicant and as a result of that he could neither concentrate on his
private job nor on his diseased ailing parents. Consequently he lost
his father prematurely and unexpectedly and lost his 30 jobs
approximately. His two member family is so traumatized that he is
apprehended to lose his asthmatic mother untimely. There is a
reasonable apprehension in the mind of the petitioner that it will be
harmful and injurious for him to live with the respondent.
69. That the petitioner has already lost his father prematurely and
there is a fear to lose his ailing mother prematurely due to this
endless episode. Being a social worker by profession, there is a
reasonable apprehension in the mind of the petitioner that he may
turn into psychic personality after the death of his mother (who
happens to be the last member in his family) if he is not being
relieved from the relentless cruelties.
70. That in fact, there has been irretrievable breakdown of marriage between the petitioner and respondent and there is no possibility of the petitioner and the respondent living together.
71. That the respondent continuously treated the petitioner with great
mental cruelty and harassment like persistent threatening of petrol pumps goons who have nexus with her father, putting him and his mother behind the bar due to which the petitioner although married, has to live a life of unmarried and is forced to live separately and compelled to lead a life in austerity because of mental trauma and inconsistencies in job.
72. That the behaviour and attitude of the respondent has caused
tremendous mental pain and agony resulting in mental trauma and
mental imbalances to the petitioner, who happens to be single son
of his ailing mother, who has decided that he could not continue to
suffer in this manner endlessly and hence this petition.
73. That the petitioner has not in any manner condoned the acts of
cruelties of the respondent, further the petitioner states that he has
not connived in any manner in bringing the actual facts of cruelty
of the respondent against the petitioner .
74. That the petition is not presented in collusion with the respondent.
75. That there has been unnecessary and improper delay in filing of
the present petition because of persistent threatening by the
respondents family citing the nexus between petrol pumps goons to
kidnap and kill the petitioner in the court premises itself if divorced
petition being filed by the applicants. There is a serious security
threat of life to the petitioner.
76. That there is no other legal ground why the relief prayed should not
be granted to the petitioner.
77. That thus the respondent has deserted on 15th April 2005 on the
pretext of going to her mother to deliver a child And getting rid of
/Abandoning the poverty ridden, unemployed husband and
diseased parents of petitioner and the respondent and her parents
and family members are in collusion with each other and
respondent has been refusing to come to the applicant(s) /
petitioner(s) house without any lawful excuse.
78. That there is total separation of the respondent from the house of
the petitioner without his consent, continuously for a period or
more than 5 years, without there being any reasonable cause or
excuse, which amounts to “animus deserendi”.
79. That the petitioner and the respondent lastly resided together at
Delhi within the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court, hence
this Hon’ble Court is competent and has jurisdiction to try and
entertain the present petitioner.
80. That the cause of action for this petitioner arose on 15th April 2005
and on subsequent dates, when the applicant made requests to the
respondent to come either to Delhi and to join the matrimonial
home and to resume marital obligation(s) and lastly on 12th March
2010, when the respondent refused to come to the house of
applicant/petitioner at the request of the petitioner over telephone.
The cause of action arose on all the dates when the acts of cruelty,
aforesaid, were committed by the respondent.
81. That the applicant / petitioner is neither in collusion with the
respondent nor the conduct of the respondent has ever been
connived at or condoned.
82. That the petitioner has not instituted any other petition(s) any
where for the same or similar relief. There has not been any
previous civil proceeding with regard to marriage of the parties by
or on behalf of any of the parties to the petition
83. That a fixed amount of requisite court fee of Rs........ has been paid
by the petitioner.
84. That the applicant / petitioner on payment of requisite court fee
prays for the following relief(s): -
-: PRAYER: -
A) The petitioner therefore , under the light of above said facts
and circumstances of the case, prays that the Marriage
between the petitioner and the respondent may be dissolved
by a decree of divorce on the grounds of cruelty u/s 13(1)(i-
a) of Hindu marriage Act,1955(no.25 of 1955).
B) Any other order or direction which this Hon’ble Court deems
fit and proper may also be passed in favour of the
petitioners, as the same is very necessary in the interest and
furtherance of justice.
It is prayed accordingly.

Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee
New Delhi Sub: Application for obtaining an application Form for Legal Aid
Sir/Madam, I am the resident of Delhi and availed the services of DLSA at District Court of Delhi. I am seeking to file an appeal against the order of a District Court of Delhi. I suppose to file an appeal to the Higher Court within 30 days of the Judgment. The date of judgment was 16th December, 2011. I therefore request you to email me a prescribed application Form to avail legal Aid, if at all; it falls within the preview of your set procedures or else enlighten me with the guidelines. Kindly fix-up an appointment and also guide me to bring the requisite documents needed for an appeal. Recapitulation of sequence of events are as under:
1. I am the petitioner, filed the divorce petition seeking dissolution of marriage with the respondent U/s 13 (1) (i a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on 25.10.2010 in Ms Deepa Sharma, Principal Judge, Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi.
2. Respondent appeared once on 09.02.2011 and thereafter chose
not to appear in the matter.
3. 30.05.2011 was fixed for WS filing by the respondent. Respondent chose not to file any WS and in turn, on 30th May I was stopped and beaten to enter the court and threatened to withdraw the case.
4. On the same date (30th May, 2011) Principal Judge, Ms Deepa
Sharma, Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi stopped the whole court proceedings and did not and chair any of the cases, in turn order sheet being generated alleging the petitioner for requesting adjournment of the court proceeding.
5. I have filed three RTIs and one appeal against the
unconstitutional and undemocratic act of Principal Judge, Ms Deepa Sharma.
6. As a result of that the respondent is being Ex-parte on
06.06.2011 by the Principal Judge. 7. 07.09.2011 was fixed for coming up for ex parte evidence. Ms
Deepa Sharma refused to tender ex parte evidence and chose to transfer the case to Mr. Deepak Jagotra’s Family Court in Dwarka.
8. Ex-parte evidence was led by me on 09.09.2011 and closed my
evidence on 17.11.2011
9. The date of Judgment was fixed on 16.12.2011 and passed the
order of Judicial Separation under the provision of section 10 of Hindu Marriage Act.
10. I had three member family i.e handicapped father, mother and
myself. I have lost my father prematurely due to respondent’s cruelty and going to lose my mother as she is on home oxygen. Respondent has spoiled my career, ruined my life and turned my house as symmetry ground. As a result of that I am still unemployed at the age of 39.
11. I have produced 4 witnesses i.e. mother, sister friend and
myself but the majesty and Excellencies biased Judges could not find and asses the ground of cruelty. Witnesses are being negated on the ground of “identical statement”. My witnesses are being falsified and blamed no legs to stand and thus baseless and I have made up ground for the sake of making out a case against the respondent.
12. More than six years of separation and “Willful desertion” by
the respondent have been established by the observation of Judges in their Judgment sheet.
13. It is a forced fraudulently solemnized marriage at gun point on
24.06.2004 and being kept under force till date. Force never ceased to operate and by the present Judgment it will never cease to operate. Intentionally, the case has been kept open ended to compel me to adopt destructive path.
14. It was a well planned conspiracy of respondent to ruin my life,
career and family. 15. I do not want to adopt destructive path and have full faith in the
institutions of India. 16. Therefore, I pray for your help and kind support to file an appeal
in the higher institution of Indian Judicial System so that I could begin my constructive life.
With Best Regards, -- Om Prakash Poddar

Some points for justification of cruelty

To: Jai Bansal <[email protected]>
Dear Sir,
I just want to add some crucial points in your
justification of cruelty para. You may please
incorporate these points as focal point of
cruelty which impacted my whole family.
I have repeatedly put stress on two things
prominently: crux of the whole episode is:
1. Fraudulent marriage and thereafter
2. Criminal conspiracy
Sequence of cruelty should be flashed in the
following manner:
1. It was a well planned conspiracy of
respondent family to ruin our three member
family. They came with vested interest.
2. I had three member families. Handicapped
and prolong diabetic father who had above the
knee amputation and had been prescribed for
permanent assistance/escort by AIIMS. Mother
who is COPD and surviving on only 43% of
oxygen and rest 47% is Co2 in her blood as
per ABG report. At the same time she is
thyroid patient. She is completely bedridden.
I have to render all domestic help 24x7.
3. Under the above circumstances, respondent
family intentionally put their physically
disabled daughter with fraud planning, just
to fulfill the custom/rituals of marriage to
get rid of salvation as per the myths of
their family and to ruin my small nuclear
family. It is itself a form of cruelty.
So the cruelty was well planned even before the
fraud marriage.
After the marriage, cruelty was planned to kill
my parents by way of dissociating nursing care
and support, persistent mafia threat and not to
allow me to begin my own life.
Secondly, the cruelty is being aggravated by
way of establishing nexus with Principal Judge
and exercising muscle flexing against me.
Thus, the cruelty has impacted my whole family
and not only me, which I have presented through
affidavit in ex-parte evidence. That evidence
was ignored by the Ld. Judges.
“They are planning to kill my last member i.e.
mother in the similar fashion as they had
killed my father”.

Dear Mr. Poddar,
Enclosed please find the final version of the
draft petition. I have removed the RTI
application and filing of the complaint against
the judge. These things will go adverse to our
interest and basically we have to file the case
on the merits of the pleadings not on the basis
that we have filed a complaint against the
judge.
As per my opinion these all documents need not
to be filed in the appeal hence the same are
removed.
Further, we are seeking divorce against the
Respondent not against the family members of
the respondent. Hence writing so much about
them is not required in each and every
paragraph.
Rest facts are same.

Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed the translated copy of
letter(s) written and annexed with the
original petition. Please also find attached
the soft copy of original petition as per
your instruction.
Reply of your telephonic conversation:
Sir,
Kindly refer our telephonic discussion you
had with me today morning. You informed me
that you have struck down my incorporated
comments pertaining to Judges Nexus with
Respondent and RTI stuff. You further said
that it will be rejected if I abuse one Judge
in front of the other Judge. I will not be
given relief.
Sir, I had assessed the matter on the very
first day when you defended the acts of
Judges and pin pointed against me for RTIs
against the Judges. On the same date, I had
reminded you that 30th May is the bone of
contention and black day for the
constitution.
You reminded me thrice i.e. 10th of Jan, 31
st
of Jan and 1st of Feb but I kept silent just
to reply you back in writing.
Sir, I have nothing personal against any
Judges. Sir, Judges are considered to be “God
of the earth” “Panch Parmeshwar” Even I
thought of so. Sir, 23 years of my stay in
Delhi cannot raise any figure against my
personality. I have been associated one or
the other way with the Government machinery.
I have never had conflict with Government
machinery in any form. I have always played a
defensive role. Our professional training is
based on the philosophy of synergy between
the institutions of State, Market and Civil
society.
Even personally, I have great regard for Ms
Deepa Sharma. I am very much sympathetic
towards her disturbed personal life. Sir, I
did not go for filing court complaint. Even I
did not go for filing cases U/s 156(3)
against Respondent.
However, at the same time, I am absolutely
against the Mafia state.
Justification for Nexus:
Sir, I am not talking in the air. Deepa
Sharma conducted investigation against me.
Tapped my CV and arranged an interview with
the lawyer’s organization in Saket. She got
it verified by sending a high court judge’s
driver, Mr. Brajesh Yadav, who happened to be
resident of same Raj Nagar, Palam Colony and
my previous landlord/rent owner.
Mr. Brajesh kumar briefed me everything that
Deepa Sharma was called on by Retd. Chief
Justice of Delhi High Court, Mr. S.B.Sinha at
his residence, in New Delhi. Justice sinha
with French bearded property dealer of Delhi
took the class of Deepa Sharma.
The mastermind of whole game is Justice Sinha
of Delhi High court. Direction came from the
top. Deepa Sharma is just following the
instruction of top brass white color
criminals, who takes the salary of people but
follow the instruction of Mafias.
She even tried to prove me mentally
challenged and ill. Her man, Mr. Brajesh
Yadav asked me to go to Ram Manohar Lohia
Hospital with decided doctor with his mobile
no. in psychiatry department. He further
said, if you produce mentally ill certificate
before Deepa Sharma then she will decide the
case in favour of you on 6th June, 2011
itself.
Justification for RTIs:
Nothing to be said much because everything is
written in the appeal with reason which is
lying with you. But let me answer your
pursuance for not to file RTIs against
Judges.
Sir, I will keep on filing RTIs till you
become accountable towards your profession. I
will keep on doing advocacy for Judicial
Accountability.
Sir, I am living in the jurisdiction of Ms
Deepa Sharma. She has got all powers and
connections. You may please ask her to kill
me in the encounter. I am open to face even
that.
Justification for rejection of my appeal:
Sir, I am least bother about the rejection
part. I have decided to reach up till Supreme
Court of India and then join Naxal outfit.
Now, Sir, you have taken my sign and I have
submitted you all documents as per your
instruction, you also assured me to file as
it is finalized on 31st Jan, at your chamber.
Suddenly you changed your mind in the next
morning. Now the ball is in the court of
DHCLSC. Now, it is up to you and DHCLSC as to
how you people play it. I am just testing the
institutions.
However, I am badly shocked by your advocacy
for defending judicial corruption. You are
the apex court practitioner. Tomorrow, you
will be the trend setter. You are the
custodian of society, saviors of
constitution, and a change maker. What kind
of society you want to produce? A Banana
State!!
People keep great expectation from Apex
court. You are supposed to give guidelines
and ensure implementation for clean lower
court process. Ironically, you are defending
the unconstitutional acts of Judges.
God bless you!!!

Dear Mr. Poddar,
There is nothing unconstitutional or
constitutional in filing complaints for no
reason against the Judges. Further, there is
no point in taking these grounds in appellate
court as your case is decided on the merits
of the case and will be challanged on the
merits of the case.
Please do not worry. Lets file the case on
the merits of the case, rather than harping
on the grounds that do not exist and will not
help us for any reason in the appellate
court.
There is a separate process of filing of
complaints against the Judges if your
aggrieved by any of their conduct,
whatsoever. But certainly that cannot become
a grounds to agitate the same in the appeal
of a dismissed case for getting relief from
the appellate court.

misleading
information furnished by the Advocate
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is with reference to the Divorce suit No.
700/2010 later renumbered as 678/2010 by the
Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi. I am the
petitioner, filed the divorce petition seeking
dissolution of marriage with the respondent U/s
13 (1) (ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on
25.10.2010 in Ms Deepa Sharma, Principal Judge,
Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi, however,
the Judgment is being passed of Judicial
Separation U/s 10 of Hindu Marriage Act.
Respondent fought (one and half year) proxy war
through Ms. Deepa Sharma, Principal Judge,
Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi.
Respondent was Ex-Parte, yet, she took the
Judgment in favour of her. It is a sheer case
of Judicial Corruption and muscle flexing.
Principal Judge, Ms Deepa Sharma, Family Court,
Dwarka Court, New Delhi had stopped the whole
court proceedings on 30th May 2011 on the date
of filing of WS by the Respondent and had not
sit and chaired any of the cases, in turn, the
order sheet had been generated alleging the
petitioner for requesting for adjournment of
the court proceeding.
Consequently, I have approached the Delhi High
Court Legal Service Committee (DHCLSC) on 4th
of January, 2012 for filing an appeal. However,
the Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee
(DHCLSC) has provided me the Advocate Mr. Jai
Bansal vide letter No. F.No.3945/DHCLSC/2012 on
09/01/2012. Now, the request for filing an
appeal is pending before DHCLSC since then.
Even after my pursuance with number of emails
for one month, no action has been taken so far.
In view of the above, I need information on the
following:
1. Why Delhi High Court Legal Service
Committee (DHCLSC) is not filing my
appeal? The request is pending with vide
letter no. F.No.3945/DHCLSC/2012 dated
09/01/2012. It is pending since 4th of
January, 2012.
2. Why the counsel provided by DHCLSC is not
willing to file my appeal as per the draft
finalized by me on 31st January, 2012.
3. Why the legal Aid counsel took my sign on
Vakalatnama and Affidavit with an
assurance of finalized draft on 31st
January, 2012 at his Supreme Court Chamber
and changed his mind in the next morning.
(Email of communication with Advocate
attached)
4. Why Legal Aid Advocate, Mr. Jai Bansal,
Chamber No.105, New Lawyer’s Chamber,
Supreme Court of India, New Delhi has
removed the facts and justification for
nexus of Judges with the Respondent from
the finalized draft of my Matt Appeal
without my consent?
5. Why Legal Aid Advocate is willing to
conceal the material facts to defend the
acts of abuse of court process by the
Judges and to present the distorted
picture of my case before High Court?
6. Why Legal Aid Advocate has furnished a
false Diary No.21996 on 3rd February, 2012
while no case found by this diary no. in
the website of Delhi High court?
7. Why Legal Aid Advocate has furnished a
false email stating that the case is
listed on 8th February in the court of
Justice Veena Birbal i.e. court no. 25 of
Delhi High Court for arguments on notice
to the other parties. While as per the
cause list (attached for 8th Feb) no case
is listed in my name.
8. Why I have been harassed unnecessarily?

Sub: Abuse of court process by the Legal Aid
Advocate
Hon’ble Sir/Madam,
This is with reference to the complaint to the
Secretary of Delhi High Court Legal Service
Committee dated 7/02/2012.
In spite of my complaint against the abuse of
court process by way of concealing the material
facts before the Hon’ble High Court by the
Legal Aid Advocate on 7th February, 2012 to the
Secretary, DHCLSC, a wrong petition has been
instituted before the Hon’ble High Court on
08/02/2012 vide case No. MAT APPL 7/2012.
However, I had requested to file a petition
against the abuse of Trial Court process
subsequently finalized the draft petition
accordingly.
But the abuse of Trial Court matter was removed
without my consent and even a MAT appeal being
filed to delay the matter instead of filing
writ against the abuse of power by the public
authority. I was misled by the Advocate and
being denied Justice.
Case Status in brief:-
Delhi Trial court case No. HMA 700/2010 &
678/2010
Delhi High Court Case No. MAT APPL. 7/2012
1. Respondent is ex parte (even did not file
WS: written statement)
2. However, Judgment is being passed in favour
of Respondent and against the petitioner.
3. There is an abuse of Trial Court Process.
4. Principal Judge of Trial Court has stopped
the whole court proceeding on 30th May 2011 and
in turn a false order sheet is being generated
alleging the petitioner for requesting for
adjournment of the court proceedings.
5. RTI has been filed and unsatisfactory reply
has been furnished by the office of the
principal Judge of Trial court against the
unconstitutional and undemocratic act of PJ of
Trial Court.
6. There is an abuse of court process by way of
concealing the material facts by the Advocate
of Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee.
Legal Aid Advocate has admitted this fact in
his email communication. Advocate misled me and
filed MAT APPL instead of filing Writ against
the abuse of power by the public authority.
In view of the above, I pray for your kind
intervention into this matter to take
appropriate action against this act to deliver
proper Justice to the Appellant.

that due to some
urgent work he had
to go out of station
and therefore he
tried to contact Mr.
Om Prakash Poddar.
Since he could not
reach Mr. Poddar on
his phone, he moved
the slip for
adjournment. He also
informed that no
material proceeding
was expected to take
place on 06.07.2012.
3. Why Legal Aid
Advocate, DHCLSC filed
adjournment slip on
behalf of Appellant on
the date of hearing on
06/07/2012 without the
information and
consent of Appellant,
when there is a
serious complaint
against its Secretary
and Advocate to the
Chairman and when
there is a complaint
in SLP (C) 9854/2012
against them?
Same as 2 above.
4. Why DHCLSC has not
supplied the certified
copies of Order dated
06/07/2012 and
08/02/2012 to the
No such request has
been received in
Delhi High Court
Legal Service
Committee. However,
petitioner so far, in
spite of his repeated
request?
you can download the
copy of order from
website of High
Court of Delhi.
Dissatisfied with this response, the appellant
has filed the instant appeal submitting therein
that the information has been withheld or
supplied unsatisfactorily and that therefore,
the same be furnished. It has been submitted in
the appeal that the requested information under
Query No.1 reproduced above could not be said
to be complete information in view of the
following arguments and reason:-
“Argument and reasons for full information: As
per the complaint dated 07.02.2012 there is an
abuse of court process by way of concealing the
material facts by the Legal Aid Advocate by
fraud without the consent of petitioner before
Delhi High Court. He has admitted this fact in
his email communication to the petitioner. He
further instituted an appeal rather than a writ
or any other legal action best fitted against
the abuse of Trial court process. Moreover,
Secretary, DHCLSC has allowed his Advocate to
institute a wrong petition on 8/2/2012 before
Delhi High Court even after written complaint
to the Secretary, DHCLSC on 7/2/2012. The
complaint of 03.05.2012 is against the
Secretary, DHCLSC to the Chairman, DHCLSC which
contains the abuse of power by the Secretary.
Hence, the information supplied is misleading,
false and frivolous”.
Thereafter the appellant has submitted and
further requested “Hence, true information to
be given in line with below mentioned
questions:-
I. Was writ petition or any other legal action not best fitted into the abuse of Trial
court process as the petitioner had come
with the grievances of abuse of Trial court
process to the DHCLSC on 04/01/2012?
II. Is filing a petition by Mr. Jai Bansal, by way of concealing the material fact by
fraud without the consent of petitioner not
an abuse of court process?
III. Is allowing Advocate, Mr. Jai Bansal by the Secretary, DHCLSC to institute a wrong
petition on 8/2/2012 before Delhi High
Court even after a written complaint to the
Secretary, DHCLSC on 7/2/2012, not an abuse
of vested power by the Secretary, DHCLSC?
IV. Is the above as (i), (ii) and (iii) not
worthy of any action?”
With regard to the second query, reproduced
herein above the arguments and reason submitted
for full information are as follows:-
“Here also the furnished information is
false.
In fact the Petitioner has contacted him
over
his mobile on the date of hearing when he
did
not turn up on the court date even after
verbal assurance in day advance. Moreover,
there was a material proceeding for the
final
order as the notice sent to the
respondent on
08.02.2012 had not been received back.
Therefore, there is a deliberate attempt
of nexus between respondent, DHCLSC and
Judiciary to kill my bedridden with home
oxygen mother, who happens to be last
member of my family, in the similar
fashion as the respondent and her
associates had killed my father in 2007.
Hence, the information supplied is
incomplete and false. Hence, true
information to be given in line with the
following questions:-
I. Can Legal Aid Advocate and DHCLSC move the adjournment slip without written
information and consent of the petitioner?
II. If yes then kindly inform me under which section DHCLSC is authorized to do so, if
not then why without written information
and consent of the petitioner, adjournment
slip being filed by the Advocate within
the knowledge of DHCLSC office?
It has been explained to Shri Om Prakash Poddar
that whether a writ petition or any other legal
action was best suited or fitted into the facts
of his case wherein he alleges that there is
abuse of the trial court process, and whether
it amounted to abuse of court process and
allegedly allowing the advocate to institute
“Writ Petition”, even after a written complaint
to the Secretary was not an abuse of vested
powers of the Secretary, are all questions that
are eliciting an opinion which does not qualify
as information under the RTI Act.
Similarly, the query as to whether a legal aid
advocate could move an adjournment slip without
written information and consent of the
petitioner has already been answered by the
PIO, DSLSA to this effect that as Shri Jai
Bansal, Advocate, could not attend the Court
and was not able to contact the present
appellant, the adjournment slip had been
submitted to the Court.
As regard the query No. (ii) regarding
furnishing the Section under which DHCLSC is
authorized to do so and if there is none, why
the written information and the consent of the
petitioner was not sought is again explained
and replied to by the PIO in response to Query
No. 2 reproduced herein above. In any case,
these do not qualify as information sought.
The appellant appears to be dissatisfied with
the action that has been taken on his
complaints. However, under RTI Act, he is
entitled to know what happened to his
complaints, but cannot dictate or protest
against action taken if he is not satisfied
with such action as has been taken.
Therefore, all his submissions, relying on the
additional documents filed relating to the
proceedings before the Family Court, are not
relevant for the disposal of the present RTI
Appeal.
The appellant may be aggrieved on various
levels on account of his matrimonial
litigation, but that dissatisfaction cannot be
redressed by recourse to the RTI. He has
already approached the Hon’ble High Court and
is desirous to approach the Hon’ble Supreme
Court in SLP against the Hon’ble High Court of
Delhi. That, once again, does not concern the
Appellate Authority under RTI.
Furthermore, the conduct of Shri Jai Bansal in
filing an appeal excluding the allegations that
the present appellant wanted to include in the
pleadings cannot be faulted as Email reveals
that Sh. Jai Bansal refused to include such
averments in the best interest of the client
namely the present appellant.
It is, after considering all aspects, that the
High Court Committee would have filed the two
complaints dated 07.02.2012 and 03.05.2012 and
the dissatisfaction of the appellant to the
action taken can find no redressal under the
RTI Act. Therefore, the additional arguments
and queries (i) to (v) raised in the appeal in
this regard as to whether writ would have been
better or an appeal, or whether adjournment
slip ought not to have been filed without the
written consent of the appellant etc., are not
arguments that are relevant to the present
proceedings.
The First Appellate Authority, as explained to
Sh. Poddar, has only to see whether the replies
given by the PIO, DSLSA, do not indicate any
suppression or misinformation of fact.
In the circumstances, the appeal is found
lacking in merit and is accordingly dismissed.
Copy of this order be sent to Shri Om Prakash
Poddar and the PIO for information.
The file is closed.
As per Section 19 of the Right to Information
Act, 2005, you may like to file an appeal
within 90 days from the issuance of this order
to the second Appellate Authority whose address
is given below.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I regret that Ms. Asha Menon, 1st Appellate
Authority, Delhi State Legal Service Authority,
New Delhi dismissed the First appeal on the
ground of lacking merit in appeal vide her
letter ref. F.NO.12/RTI/Appeal-Sep-
12)/12/13/5972 dated 24th September, 2012.
Ms.Asha Menon, First Appellate Authority
further says, “she has only to see whether the
replies given by the PIO are correct or not and
in that regard, the answers given by the PIO,
DSLSA, do not indicate any suppression or
misinformation of fact”.
However, answers given by PIO, DSLSA are
incomplete and out of the context. Therefore, I
requested the First Appellate Authority to
furnish the complete information in context/in
line with the below mentioned questions which
is contextual of the original questions and
form part of the same. Without this context,
the furnished information is incomplete.
Under these circumstances, either you can give
it or else you can order her to supply the
same.
Hence, I request you to pass an order to supply
the following Information satisfactorily, or
supply the same as per the rules under RTI Act-
2005. My point wise averments and arguments are
as under:
Requested Information: 1.) What action has been
taken against the complaint of Petitioner dated
7/2/2012 and 03/05/2012 so far??
Supplied Information: 1.) No action has been
taken on the complaint dated 07.02.2012 &
03.05.2012 as the same were not found worthy of
any action. However, on receipt of the
complaint dated 07.02.2012 Mr. Jai Bansal,
Advocate was called for discussion and he
clarified that the appeal which was to be field
before the High Court of Delhi could not be
barred by limitations.
Argument and reasons for full information: As
per the complaint dated 07.02.2012 there is an
abuse of court process by way of concealing the
material facts by the Legal Aid Advocate by
fraud without the consent of petitioner before
Delhi High Court. He has admitted this fact in
his email communication to the petitioner. He
further instituted an appeal rather than a writ
or any other legal action best fitted against
the abuse of Trial court process. Moreover,
Secretary, DHCLSC has allowed his Advocate to
institute a wrong petition on 8/2/2012 before
Delhi High Court even after written complaint
to the Secretary, DHCLSC on 7/2/2012. The
complaint of 03.05.2012 is against the
Secretary, DHCLSC to the Chairman, DHCLSC which
contains the abuse of power by the Secretary.
Hence, the information supplied is misleading,
false and frivolous. Hence, true information
to be given in line with below mentioned
questions:-
(i) Was writ petition or any other legal action
not best fitted into the abuse of Trial court
process as the petitioner had come with the
grievances of abuse of Trial court process to
the DHCLSC on 04/01/2012?
(ii) Is filing a petition by Mr. Jai Bansal, by
way of concealing the material fact by fraud
without the consent of petitioner not an abuse
of court process?
(iii)Is allowing Advocate, Mr. Jai Bansal by
the Secretary, DHCLSC to institute a wrong
petition on 8/2/2012 before Delhi High Court
even after a written complaint to the
Secretary, DHCLSC on 7/2/2012, not an abuse of
vested power by the Secretary, DHCLSC?
(iv)Is the above as (i), (ii) and (iii) not
worthy of any action?
Requested Information: 2.) Why neither Legal
Aid Advocate nor his any substitute was present
on the date of hearing on 6/7/2012 in vide case
no. MAT. APPL. 7/2012?
Supplied Information: 2.) Mr. Jai Bansal, Ld.
Advocate informed the Committee office that
due to some urgent work he had to go out of
station and therefore he tried to contact Mr.
Om Prakash Poddar. Since he could not reach Mr.
Poddar on his phone, he moved the slip for
adjournment. He also informed that no material
proceeding was expected to take place on
06.07.2012.
Argument and reasons for full information: Here
also the furnished information is false. In
fact the Petitioner has contacted him over his
mobile on the date of hearing when he did not
turn up on the court date even after verbal
assurance in day advance. Moreover, there was a
material proceeding for the final order as the
notice sent to the respondent on 08.02.2012 had
not been received back. Therefore, there is a
deliberate attempt of nexus between respondent,
DHCLSC and Judiciary to kill my bedridden with
home oxygen mother, who happens to be last
member of my family, in the similar fashion as
the respondent and her associates had killed my
father in 2007.
Hence, the information supplied is incomplete
and false. Hence, true information to be given
in line with the following questions:-
(i) Can Legal Aid Advocate and DHCLSC move the
adjournment slip without written information
and consent of the petitioner?
(ii) If yes then kindly inform me under which
section DHCLSC is authorized to do so, if not
then why without written information and
consent of the petitioner, adjournment slip
being filed by the Advocate within the
knowledge of DHCLSC office?

First appeal under Section 19 (1) of the RTI Act – 2005. Date: 08/09/2011 Ref: NO. 4941/RTI/FC/DWK/2011 dated 30th August, 2011 From: Om Prakash Poddar C/O Digvijay Singh R/O RZH-757, 1st Floor, Lane No.14, Raj Nagar Part-2, Palam Colony, New Delhi-10077 Mob:9868797201 E-mail: [email protected] To, The First Appellate Authority, Ms. Poonam A. Bamba Ld. Judge-02, Family Courts Rohini Court, Delhi-110085 North West District Sub: First Appeal U/S 19 (1) of RTI Act 2005 Dear Madam, I thank Ms. Sunita Gosain, PIO/Administrative Officer, Family Courts, Dwarka, New Delhi for her reply and giving some of the valuable information on the subject matter, vide her letter ref. No. 4941/RTI/FC/DWK/2011 dated 30th August, 2011, received by hand on 6th September, 2011 I think most of the information she has kept it reserved or supplied unsatisfactorily, so that either you can give it or else you can order her to supply the same. Hence, I request you Madam, to pass an order to supply the following Information satisfactorily, or supply the same as per the rules under RTI Act-2005. My point wise averments and arguments are as under: Requested Information: 1.) Why there was no court proceedings, Principal Judge did not sit and chair any of the cases on 30.05.2011? Supplied Information: 1.) Ld. Judge held/chaired the court on 30.05.2011 and disposed of all cases. Argument and reasons for full information: As per the Police complaint made by me on 30.05.2011 and received by Dwarka Court Police Chowki at 2.15 pm and speed posted to Principal Judge, Family Court, Dwarka Court when I was stopped and beaten by the goons of respondent family at the entry gate of Dwarka Court is the evident of the fact that I was the eye witness of deadlock of court proceedings on 30th May, 2011. I have left the court premises at 4.30 pm. Till then there was no court proceedings and Principal Judge did not sit, reader was giving the next date which I have complained to President’s helpline vide registration no. PRSEC/E/2011/08975 dated 7th June, 2011. Hence, the false Order Sheet of 30.05.2011 has been generated by the PJ in view of the Police Complaint of 30th May 2011. Yet, Principal Judge claims to hold/chair the court on 30.05.2011 then I would request you to supply the list of cases with full details disposed of on the same date.
Requested Information: 2.) Can the Family Judge exercise substantial judgment against the petitioner by way of waiting for 8 months for WS filing by the respondent, who is acting under the influence of respondent and her associates, cornering the critical health situation of applicant’s mother and persistent life threat to the petitioner for 7 years by the respondent and her associates? Supplied Information: 2.) The Family court Judge can extend the period for filling for Written Statement (WS) in view of Section 10(3) of Family Court Act. Ld. Judge does not act under the influence of any party to the suit and also does not ignore plea of any party. Argument and reasons for full information: Here also she claims her discretion to extend. But she does not disclose whether there was a written request from the respondent to extend this time frame or not. When respondent or her counsel is not present on any date after 9th Feb, 2011 then how come PJ can use her discretion of extending the time frame for WS filling. Moreover the Ld Judge has ignored the plea of petitioner is evident from the Police complaint of criminal conspiracy dated 30th May, 2011 and 6th June, 2011 which has been speed posted to Principal Judge, Family Court, Dwarka Court. Secondly, the two applications with list of documents submitted by the petitioner on 6th June, 2011 envisaging the critical health situation of his ailing old age mother as evident from the Order Sheet of 6th June, 2011. Even PJ has refused to take the witnesses and ex-parte evidence on 7th September, 2011 as indicated in the Order Sheet of 6th June, 2011. I was present with all the three witnesses viz. old age ailing mother, eldest sister and friend physically on 7th September, 2011. Respondent again was not present. The Affidavit of witnesses of 7th September 2011 is evident that the witnesses were present before the PJ Court and PJ intentionally refused to accept the Affidavit. It reveals and substantiates her association/nexus with the respondent and her mafia gang. This clearly shows the crushing mentality of PJ. Hence, the information supplied is incomplete and false. Hence, true information to be given. Requested Information: 3.) Why the Petitioner has been alleged for adjournment of the Court on 30th May 2011, while there was no court proceeding on the same date and when the petitioner has made huge hue and cry against the deadlock of court proceeding? Supplied Information: 3.) It is informed that why the petitioner had made the request for adjournment is the fact within the knowledge of petitioner. The order-sheet shows the petitioner had made a request for adjournment. Moreover, matter was not fixed for petitioner’s evidence on 30.05.2011. Argument and reasons for full information: Supplied information clearly shows that the Principal Judge has either lost her mental balance or she is not competent enough to hold the responsible post. PJ is able to say this because the daily order sheet of PJ Family Court is not made public through e-governance. Had the daily order sheet been put on the website then there would not have been any hassle for a common man. In the absence of inclusion of PJ Family Court’s proceeding in the e- governance framework creates mesh and pains to the common man.
I have not made any request for adjournment of the court proceeding because I believe in constitution and against of Banana/Mafia State. Moreover, the Order sheet is written on the direction of PJ and not on the direction of Petitioner. As the respondent was absent on 30.05.2011 and the matter was fixed for WS filling by the respondent therefore Petitioner had right to plea for ex-parte the case. Hence, petitioner’s presence was imperative. PJ’s intentional absence was unconstitutional. Hence, the information supplied is false and fabricated. Hence, supply the true information.

Bamba Ld. Judge-02, Family Courts Rohini Court, Delhi-110085 North West District Sub: First Appeal U/S 19 (1) of RTI Act 2005 Dear Madam, I thank Ms. Sunita Gosain, PIO/Administrative Officer, Family Courts, Dwarka, New Delhi for her reply and giving some of the valuable information on the subject matter, vide her letter ref. No. 4939/RTI/FC/DWK/2011 dated 30th August, 2011, received by hand on 6th September, 2011 I think most of the information she has kept it reserved or supplied unsatisfactorily, so that either you can give it or else you can order her to supply the same. Hence, I request you Madam, to pass an order to supply the following Information satisfactorily, or supply the same as per the rules under RTI Act-2005. My point wise averments and arguments are as under: Requested Information: 1.) Why the Petitioner is being stopped and refused by the Principal Judge, Family Court to file the self- Affidavit of ex-parte evidence on 1st of August, 2011 as the next date of hearing is fixed on 7th September, 2011? Supplied Information: 1.) As is clear from order sheet dated 06/06/2011, the Ld. Judge did not stop & refused to take self-affidavit of applicant on record. Whatever documents were filled by him, were taken on record along with two applications. It is further clear that on 06.06.2011, the matter was not fixed for the petitioner evidence. Argument and reasons for full information: Order sheet of 06.06.2011 has no relation with the supplied information. As the self-Affidavit of ex-parte evidence of 1st August, 2011 needed to be filed for the next date of hearing fixed on 07.09.2011. As per the order sheet of 6th June, 2011, respondent is proceeded ex-parte, for ex-parte evidence, to come up on 07.09.2011. Therefore it was my democratic right to file the affidavit of ex-parte evidence before 7th September, 2011 in view of a reasonable apprehension in mind for cancellation of ex-parte by the respondent. I agree, on 06.06.2011, the matter was fixed for respondent but when none for the respondent was present then it became imperative for the
petitioner to plea for ex-parte the suit. Petitioner strongly pleaded that his life and his ailing mother’s life are under persistent threat (Police Complaint speed posted to PJ). Respondent family is playing delay and manipulation tactics, so ex-parte the suit. Moreover, the petitioner had already experienced the worst part of judicial system by way of stopping the whole court proceedings on 30th May 2011 by the Principal Judge herself. 30th May was fixed for respondent to file WS after a gap of 3 months but “replication not filed” is written by PJ on false generated order sheet. Surprisingly, again PJ admits and writes on the order sheet of 6th June, 2011 that WS has also not been filed by the respondent. I failed to understand her majesty/excellency. Is replication filed before WS? Please enlighten this poor uneducated common man. Surprisingly, even on 07.09.2011, PJ refused to accept Affidavit and witnesses of ex-parte evidence. Petitioner was present with all his three witnesses viz. old age ailing mother, eldest sister and friend physically before PJ as evident from the affidavit of witnesses of 7th September, 2011. Even my asthmatic mother had minor attack of asthma in the court premises on the same date. Yet, PJ refused because I dare to seek information through RTI against her unlawful work. Hence, the information supplied is incomplete and false. Hence, true information to be given. Requested Information: 2.) Is Principal Judge, Family Court not coming under the preview of District Judge administratively? Supplied Information: 2.) Principal Judge, Family Court does not come under the preview of District Judge, administratively. Argument and reasons for full information: Well, if PJ Family Court does not come under the preview of District Judge, administratively then under whom PJ come administratively? PJ is answerable to whom? Hence, the information supplied is incomplete. Hence, complete information to be given. Requested Information: 3.) Why the Principal Judge, Family Court, New Delhi is using all possible unconstitutional tools to crush the democratic right of the petitioner when he has reasonable apprehension in his mind? Supplied Information: 3.) Principal Judge, Family Courts, Dwarka is not using any unconstitutional tools while dealing with the matter. Argument and reasons for full information: Stopping to file and refusing to accept the affidavit and list of documents of ex-parte evidence on 1st August, 2011 and not letting the petitioner to tender his witnesses present physically, witnesses came all the way from 2000 k.m on 7th September, 2011, is not an abuse of her discretionary power. Is this act not amounting to undemocratic and unconstitutional? Without any reason and written request by the Petitioner transferring the case to another Family court on 07.09.2011, just to avoid tendering the witnesses present physically, does not show her crushing mentality to delay and manipulate the case as per the desire of the respondent family? Paralyzing the whole court proceedings and misleading the democratic institution by generating the false Order Sheet of 30th May, 2011 is not unconstitutional?
In view of the above citation kindly supply me information on the following: 1. Can Principal Judge stop the petitioner to file Affidavit of ex-parte
evidence prior to the date of hearing?
2. Can Principal Judge avoid tendering the witnesses present
physically on the date of hearing of 7th September?
3. Can Principal Judge transfer the case without any written request
by the petitioner on the date of hearing of ex-parte evidence on 7th
September, 2011?
Hence, the information supplied is false, fabricated and incomplete. Hence, supply the complete information. Om Prakash Poddar Enclosures:

Principal Judge informed the petitioner that he has filed a complaint against this court therefore she will not tender his ex-parte evidence. Secondly, the petitioner has submitted that the counsel of the petitioner Mr. Satya Prakash, Delhi Legal Service Authority, Dwarka refused to come on the date of hearing of 7th September, 2011 but Principal Judge did not take it on the record. Later, the petitioner has complained the same to the Secretary, DLSA, Dwarka on the same date. However, on 07.09.2011, Principal Judge refused to accept petitioner’s Affidavit and tender the witnesses of ex-parte evidence. Petitioner was present with all his three witnesses viz. old age ailing mother, eldest sister and friend physically before Principal Judge as evident from the affidavit of witnesses of 7th September, 2011. Even the petitioner’s asthmatic mother had minor asthma attack in the court premises on the same date. Yet, Principal Judge refused because I dared to seek information through RTI against her unlawful work. Petitioner requested to tender his ex-parte evidence and his all three witnesses present physically before the Principal Judge court that had pained to come all the way from 2000 km but Principal Judge did not pay any heed to his request and transferred the case to another Family Court. It was just a delaying tactics of Principal Judge to avoid tendering the witnesses. In view of the above, kindly supply me information on the following:
1) Can Principal Judge transfer the case without any written request
by the petitioner to transfer the case to another Family Court, just to
avoid tendering the witnesses of the petitioner to delay the case for
another 3 months?
2) Supply Copy of the Transfer request of the suit made by the
Petitioner as claimed by Principal Judge as per the Order Sheet of
7th September, 2011.

DATE)
To
The Hon’ble Chief Justice of the
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi at New

THE HUMBLE APPLICATION OF THE
APPELLANT ABOVE NAMED
MOST RESPECFULLY SHOWETH:
1. That the appellant above named
respectfully submits his representation
and seeking early hearing against the

appeal by the division bench of this
Hon’ble court on 29.04.2013.
3. That the petition for divorce is pending
over the last 4 years. The respondent

protract the litigation. It has been

Court and two learned judges of the
Trial court and yet the end is not in
sight.
4. That the petition was filed u/s 13

divorce and the Judgment was being
imposed a decree of judicial separation
u/s 10 of HMA 1955 without the consent
of Appellant while the respondent was ex
parte.

admitted fact by the respondent and by
the judgment of the Trial Court.
8. That the Trial Court below committed a
grave error in holding that the
appellant has failed to show even a
single incident of alleged cruelty
caused by the Respondent when in view
of the facts and circumstances of the
case and the evidence adduced clearly
shows the brutal, unacceptable and
unchanging acts and behaviors of the

grounds out of five grounds of divorce
available in India i.e. desertion and

for all purposes. Any attempt towards
restoration will escalate the tension
and endanger the life of the appellant
and his bedridden mother.
12. That the hatred amongst the appellant
and the respondent families have widely
engulfed over the last 10 years. There
is no room for compromise left.
13. That the life and liberty of the

the life of his bedridden mother.10
years have passed by and the final
hearing is not yet over. The appellant
is now 40 plus year old and heading
towards cancer and multiple health
problems. He may not live more than 10
to 15 years under this facts and
circumstances of the case.
14. That the respondent and the associates

in case No. 9p/2010 u/s 12 of Domestic
Violence Act 2005 against the appellant
and his ailing mother in Bihar in 2010
after a gap of 5 years and total
separation, just as a part of well-
designed criminal conspiracy to kidnap
and kill the appellant in the court
premises. The application for
cancellation of NBW and reply of the
complaint u/s 12 of D.V. Act 2005 has
been filed by the appellant in case No.

15. That the Appellant has absolutely been

hearing to end the justice and allow the
appellant to live the rest of his life as
the best part of his productive life has
