The appellant has tried his best to reconcile his matrimonial life, but respondent had expressed disrespect towards the appellant and his mother. On 17/4/2013, the respondent fell ill and during course of illness, the appellant asked his mother to render best services to respondent. But, on 21/4/2013 she rudely behaved with the mother of the appellant and began to abuse the appellant and his family members and she left the matrimonial home by saying that she will never return back and she took away all her belongings and son.

Despite being the best efforts taken by the appellant, no reciprocity was found from the side of respondent. Hence, the case has been filed.
