A family court order allowing an application for restitution of conjugal rights to be amended into a plea for dissolution of marriage was set aside by the Bombay High Court.
The Punjab & Haryana High Court refused to entertain a transfer petition filed by the wife in a matrimonial dispute, stating that the plea was nothing but sweet revenge by her.
A Division Bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Niral R Mehta has hold that in suit filed by a husband for restitution of conjugal rights, a wife cannot be forced to cohabit even by way of a court's decree.
