THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CRP NO.4167 OF 2011 November, 2011 ORDER: This civil revision petition is filed against the order dated 5-9-2011 passed in IA No.303 of 2011 in OP No.490 of 2010 by the Judge, Addl. Family Court, Hyderabad. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Perused the impugned order passed by the Court below. 3. The OP is filed by the respondent herein against the petitioner seeking annulment of the marriage on the ground of impotency and cruelty. It is stated that the petitioner left to USA and living there. The mother of the petitioner seeks to represent his son in the matter and for that purpose she filed the present IA. Power of Attorney holder of a party, in this case, mother of the petitioner, can appear as a witness in her personal capacity to speak about the facts which are within her personal knowledge. The decisions of the Division Bench of this Court in M. VENKATA REDDY Vs. IN RE (1996 (2) & MRS. PADMAKIRAN RAO Vs. B. VENKATARAMANA RAO (1995 (3) ALD) are not applicable to the facts of this case. The allegations made by the respondent are purely matters within the personal knowledge of the petitioner and it is necessary to know his version in the matter from him. So long the petitioner and respondent continued to be as husband and wife, the petitioner has to answer the allegations made by her. In the circumstances, I am of the considered view that the impugned order passed by the Court below does not warrants any interference by this Court. The civil revision petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. _________________________ Ghulam Mohammed, J Dated: 18-11-2011 Nrg.
