IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. M-144 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 10.5.2011 Kuljit Kaur @ Kulwinder Kaur .. Appellant v. Sarbjit Singh .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. B. S. Walia, Advocate for the appellant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the judgment and decree dated 19.2.2011, passed by the learned court below, in a petition filed by the parties under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for dissolution of marriage by way of mutual consent. It is not in dispute that on both the occasions, i.e., 17.8.2010 and 19.2.2011, when the statements of the parties were recorded, they were present in person in court and consented for passing of a decree of divorce by way of mutual consent. Now to state that divorce has been obtained by the respondent by playing fraud cannot be accepted as it is not a case where there was some impersonation or ex-parte decree has been obtained by the respondent. It is simply backing out of the consent already given by the appellant in the court below. In view of the above, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and decree of the learned court below. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 10.5.2011 mk
