NANDANA Vs. PRADEEP BHANDARI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an appeal under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984 against the Order dated July 10,1995 directing ex-parte proceedings against the appellant the original non petitioner (hereinafter referred to as 'wife'), in a case under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for a decree of divorce dissolving the marriage between the parties.

(2.) A brief history of the proceedings culminating in passing of the impugned order would be necessary for appreciating the controversy.

(3.) A preliminary objection has been raised that the impugned order is an interlocutory order and therefore, an appeal did not lie in view of specific provision of Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984. It would be in the fitness of things to decide this preliminary objection as to the maintainability of the appeal first before touching the merits of the case.
