This regular second appeal filed by the plaintiff arises from a suit for permanent injunction restraining the defendant from alleging herself widow of Sukhwinder Singh son of Harchand Singh and also restraining her from submitting any application against the plaintiff before the police or any other office claiming herself to be widow of Sukhwinder Singh. The facts as narrated in the plaint are that the defendant was married to Sukhwinder Singh son of the plaintiff. Sukhwinder Singh died in November, 1996.

It was pleaded that after about three months of the death of Sukhwinder Singh, the defendant solemnized second marriage with Iqbal Singh resident of village Badhate at Sanghera. It was further pleaded that the defendant had no concern with the property of the plaintiff. It was further pleaded that the defendant had no right to claim herself to be the widow of Sukhwinder Singh when she had contracted second marriage with Iqbal Singh.

No. 2400 of 2003 -2- defendant in order to pressurize the plaintiff to withdraw the petition under Section 25 of the Guardian and Wards Act had been moving various false applications to the police officials. Upon notice, the defendant filed written statement by raising various preliminary objections. The factum of marriage with the son of the plaintiff was admitted. It was also admitted that from the wedlock two children were born who were residing with the defendant.

Accordingly, the suit filed by the plaintiff was dismissed vide judgment and decree dated 4.10.2000. On appeal, the lower appellate court affirmed the finding of the trial court and dismissed the appeal vide judgment and decree dated 10.1.2003. Learned counsel for the appellant could not show that the concurrent findings recorded by the courts below suffer from any misreading or misappreciation of evidence. No illegality or perversity could be found in the judgments and decrees passed by the courts below warranting interference by this court in the regular second appeal. No question of law, much less a substantial question of law arises in this appeal. In view of the above, finding no merit in this appeal, the same is hereby dismissed.
