CR No.7605/2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.7605/2011 Date of decision: 12.12.2011. Jagbir Singh ....................Petitioner v. Smt.Nisha .....................Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.L.M.Suri,Senior Advocate with Mr.Neeraj Khanna,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Present revision petition has been filed by Jagbir Singh- husband assailing the order dated 14.11.2011 (P5) whereby his application for staying the proceedings initiated by the respondent wife-Smt. Nisha under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955- for restitution of conjugal rights- has been dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier the petitioner-husband had filed a petition under Section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act for grant of divorce which was dismissed on 20.2.2006 and against which FAO No.57-M/2006 stands admitted before this Court. Further submits that during the earlier proceedings efforts had been made for reconciliation between the parties which had CR No.7605/2011 2 failed. It is thus contended that in view of the pending FAO and unsuccessful efforts for reconciliation the present proceedings initiated by the respondent wife under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act would be meaningless and a futile exercise and therefore proceedings may be stayed. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner-husband, this Court is not persuaded to accept the pleas raised on behalf of the petitioner. It is apparent that the proceedings under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act constitutes a separate right to the parties, therefore, I find no illegality or perversity in the impugned order dated 14.11.2011(P5). Dismissed. 12.12.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
