FAO No. M-294 of 2008 [ 1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH F.A.O. No. M-294 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: 16.11.2010 Meenakshi ... Appellant v. Sanjeev Kumar .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: None for the appellant. Mr. Sanjay Vij, Advocate for the respondent. ... Rajesh Bindal J. This appeal was filed by the wife against the judgment of decree of divorce passed by the learned court below. Initially on the request of the appellant, a counsel was engaged by Haryana State Legal Services Authority, however, on 12.2.2009, the counsel for the appellant stated before the court that he had received a communication from the aforesaid authority to withdraw from the case in view of the request received from the appellant, whereby she had withdrawn her request for legal aid. This court directed issuance of notice to the appellant-wife on that day and since then numerous efforts were made but her service could not be effected. Today, learned counsel for the respondent has produced photo copies of the certified copies of the orders passed by Family Court at Gurgaon in proceedings for custody of the minor child, in which both the parties had settled the issue, in terms of which custody of the minor child is to remain with the father, whereas visiting rights have been given to the appellant-wife. Learned counsel, on instructions from the respondent, further stated that in fact after the passing of the decree of divorce, the appellant-wife had re- married and she had been blessed with a child. In view of the subsequent developments, she is no more interested in pursuing the present appeal. Considering the aforesaid facts and also that the appellant is in knowledge of the present appeal, but still has not appeared ever since May 5,2009, FAO No. M-294 of 2008 [ 2] this court does not have any other option but to dismiss the same in default. Ordered accordingly. ( Rajesh Bindal ) Judge 16.11.2010 mk
