DIVISION BENCH IN GEETHA LAKSHMI V. G.V.N.K. SARVESWARA RAO (AIR 1983 AP 111)

Held: A decree for restitution of conjugal rights was obtained by the wife under Section 9 of the Act on the ground that the husband had without reasonable cause withdrawn from her society. A decree for restitution of conjugal rights was granted to the wife. After the decree, the husband not only, not complied with the decree, but did positive acts by ill-treating her and finally drove her away from the house. It was not a case of mere non-compliance of the decree, but fresh positive acts of wrong. In such a case, the husband was not entitled to the relief under Section 13(1A) of the Act.
