THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.17851 of 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Noushad Ali) This writ petition is filed to declare the award, dated 26-08-2000 passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Bapatla, in H.M.O.P.No.15 of 2000, as illegal and violative of Sections 19, 20 and 21 of the Legal Services Authority Act, 1987 and consequently to set aside the said award. The petitioner claims that he married the 2nd respondent on 09-08-2001 at Tenali i.e., one year subsequent to the impugned order, dated 26-08-2000. The petitioner further claims that the marriage was consummated and the 2nd respondent lived in his native place only for one day and left to Bapatla. At that time, he was employed in Hyderabad in a private company and later, the 2nd respondent came to Hyderabad and lived only for two and half months and out of their wedlock, a female child was born on 15-06-2002. The parents of the 2nd respondent prevented her from joining him again at Hyderabad on the pretext that the petitioner should settle his house site in favour of the 2nd respondent or her daughter as a condition precedent to lead marital life at Hyderabad, which the petitioner refused. Therefore, the petitioner was compelled to file H.M.O.P.No.83 of 2002 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Addanki, for restitution of conjugal rights. The said O.P. was transferred to the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Bapatla, and re-numbered as O.P.No.31 of 2004. The 2nd respondent also filed a maintenance case in M.C.No.23 of 2004 on the file of the 2nd Additional Munsif Magistrate Court, Bapatla, and the same was allowed. Against which, he preferred revision before this Court and the same is pending. The 2nd respondent also filed a criminal case in C.C.No.262 of 2004 under Section 498-A IPC and the petitioner was acquitted by judgment, dated 28-04-2006. It is alleged that during pendency of the said criminal case, he came to know that the 2nd respondent earlier married one Sopirala Srinivasa Rao, who is the 3rd respondent herein, and the marriage between them was dissolved in the Lokadalat in H.M.O.P.No.15 of 2000 on 26-08-2000. The petitioner thereafter filed H.M.O.P.No.60 of 2005 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Bapatla, for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty and desertion and the same is pending. Contending that the 2nd respondent obtained orders of dissolution of marriage in the Lokadalat by fraud, the petitioner has come up with this writ petition. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. In the instant case, the petitioner married the 2nd respondent admittedly on 09-08-2001 subsequent to the 2nd respondent obtaining divorce on 26-08-2000. On account of the alleged subsequent differences between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent, admittedly, the other cases along with H.M.O.P.No.60 of 2005 are pending. We are of the opinion that with regard to the earlier dissolution of marriage between the 2nd respondent and the 3rd respondent, the petitioner has nothing to do with the same. As the petitioner is not a party to H.M.O.P.No.15 of 2000, it is not open for him to question the said order and if at all there is any grievance, it is for the 3rd respondent to question the same. The petitioner has not entered into the life of the 2nd respondent till dissolution of the marriage between the 2nd respondent and the 3rd respondent. It may be mentioned that had the marriage between the 2nd respondent and the 3rd respondent not dissolved, but subsisted, the marriage between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent would have become illegal. The subsequent litigation and differences between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent have nothing to do with the order passed prior to the marriage. In fact, the petitioner has approached this court after a long lapse of ten years with serious latches. Therefore, we find no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________ NOUSHAD ALI, J Date: 26-07-2010 Prv
