Legal Alert::: After the order of restitution of conjugal rights was passed against the wife, she had two options: (i) either to challenge the same or (ii) to comply with the same. If the wife chooses neither then she cannot be allowed to take the plea that the husband is committing domestic violence on her—Rajasthan High Court


The present petition u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioner wife who was awarded maintenance under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Protection of Women, Act, 2005 by the Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bassi vide order dated 11.10.2007. The appeal preferred by the respondent husband against the order passed by the learned Magistrate came to heard and decided by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Jaipur District, Jaipur and the learned Additional Sessions Judge by order dated 8th January 2008 set aside the order dated 11.10.2007 granting maintenance to the petitioner wife on the ground that respondent husband had filed a petition u/s 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act for restitution of conjugal rights which was accepted and a decree for restitution of conjugal rights was passed. Despite the decree, the petitioner wife did not go to live with her husband and thereupon, an application for divorce was filed, which was accepted and a decree of divorce was granted in favour of the husband, on the ground that the petitioner wife had deserted her husband without any reasonable cause.
After the order of restitution of conjugal rights was passed against the wife, she had two options: (i) either to challenge the same or (ii) to comply with the same.
If the wife chooses neither then she cannot be allowed to take the plea that the husband is committing domestic violence on her. If the wife does not perform her matrimonial duties without any justifiable cause, then she can not be permitted to say that the husband is committing domestic violence on her.
The upshot of the above discussion is that there is no merit in the present petition u/s 482 Cr.P.C.
