residential accommodation and the same has been allotted to the father of
Petitioner. However, the married life of the petitioner was always very
unfortunate but took a turn for the worse only after few days of marriage.

reasons and started demanding for a sperate home in different city. The
Respondent used to abuse the Petitioner in filthy language very often as the
Petitioner was staying with his parents and Respondent wanted a separate home
Petitioner would call the Petitioner on phone, she would misbehave and keep
on shouting from the back, only to show that Petitioner is not keeping her
home, the Respondent keep on stating abusive and coarse language about the
family members and relatives of Petitioner. She would say that she cannot
tolerate them and the Petitioner should tell them not to visit their place. Due to
8. That the petitioner was taking care of his mother and father on which the
Respondent even rejected the Petitioner mother and father to provide basic
needs since Respondent is a high headed woman, she didn’t bother about
Petitioner family and only wanted her share in the property and a sperate place
to stay. She made the life of the petitioner miserable by depriving him of every
little thing and basic needs. She didn’t let him enter the room. That the

during the tough times when the Petitioner use to take care of his mother
questioning the morality of the Petitioner and started demoralizing him for
the same.
9. That in December 2008 the friction created by the Respondent in the relation

therefore, the Petitioner had taken up another job within 1 month of marriage
10. That the Respondent and her family from the very instance of the marriage had
her eye on the money and property of the Petitioner and thus she started to
wife about family and friends, about work and home she used to record pieces
of conversation. The petitioner being a simple and pious man had no idea
what was happening around him and thus the respondent using benefit of
the Petitioner to her advantage used to tape all the conversation to later
use invoke the relatives and friends of the petitioner against him, so as to
render him to family less. The family and friends after listening to the
relatives actually severed their relations with the Petitioner. The petitioner
came to know about the said conspiracy of the respondent when the
Respondent tried to manipulate the mind of the brother of the petitioner who
did not believe the Respondent and cross checked with the Petitioner about the
said conversations. When the Petitioner countered the Respondent, she abused
the Petitioner that she will make his life more hell if he did not handover a
property in her name and gave her all his money and also threatened him
that she will acquire all his money and assets by hook or by crook.
11. That the Respondent being a very aggressive lady, always searched for reasons
to indulge into arguments with the petitioner and stay away from her moral and
matrimonial obligations. The Respondent infact, to stay away from the home
and went out to meet her friends and neighbours and didn’t do any household
household chores herself without any help even at an old age. The Respondent
never used to help Petitioner mother and infact used to abuse her for not
maintaining the house well in front of his friends, neighbours, and relatives.
12. That on September 2010 Petitioner after getting to know about the atrocities on
his parents took the Respondent Sangur Punjab alongwith him. The Petitioner
only for the sake of his matrimonial life and implicit love towards Respondent
has shifted to Punjab. However, the Respondent being a very aggressive lady,
always searched for reasons to indulge into arguments with the petitioner and
stay away from her moral and matrimonial obligations, but petitioner used to
make her understand and for the sake of their matrimonial life Petitioner
always used to pacify the Respondent and even fulfilled all her demands by
wedlock. The Petitioner and his family members were happy after the birth of
girl child and praise the same. The Petitioner on this auspicious occasion
planned to celebrate the moment and wanted to throw a party with entire family
and friends. However, the Respondent straight away told the Petitioner that his
family member i.e. his mother, father and brother shall not be invited, if he
does so, then she will commit suicide and implicate all of his family members.
On 27.03.2012 the Petitioner requested the Respondent to let his family and
friends also join the occasion, but Respondent refused to entertain the
Petitioner. That the Petitioner father and mother being grand-parents of child
wanted to give their blessings but Respondent did not let them see the child
face. Respondent even stated that if his parents came near to the child, she will
commit suicide.
14. The Petitioner after facing the atrocities of Respondent took her back alongwith
the child to Sangur Punjab in May, 2012. That after reaching Punjab Petitioner
told the Respondent to stop going out with friends and neighbours take care of
the child as the child requires special care and attention of the mother, she got
agitated and started shouting at the petitioner at the top of her voice. Hearing
the commotion, the neighbours of the Petitioner came to their house and tried
to pacify the situation. However, seeing the neighbours entering the premises,
the Respondent got even more agitated and she went to the extent of hurling
abuses at the Petitioner to such an extent that the Petitioner had to request his
friends and neighbours to leave the house in order to themselves from further
Respondent.
15. That looking at the miserable condition of his girl child, the petitioner
employed one servant, exclusively for the child and for taking care of the
house. But employing the maids turned out to be a very bad idea for the
Petitioner as the Respondent manipulated the maids to her comfort and didn’t
let them do anything for the child and neither for the house. That the
Respondent also influenced the maids by giving them lots of food to eat,
making them sleep on the bed and giving them expensive gifts like cosmetics
and fancy clothes. She used to tell them not to serve food to the petitioner or
take care of the child to torture the Petitioner. She used to make fun of the
petitioner alongwith the maids. She only sought their help as per her whims and
fancies. The petitioner on several occasions had to stay hungry all day as no
one gave him food to eat or because the food that the Petitioner was served
was filled with chilli powder making it inedible. The Respondent used to
throw away the medicines of the petitioner like his eye drops which in turn
used to increase his eye problems thus leading to physical and mental torture to
the petitioner.
16. That the respondent not only neglected the petitioner but also paid no attention
to the child who required special care all the time. The respondent was only
wanted a self-owned house. But Petitioner being beware of her evil plans had
purchased the said house in his name. As and when Respondent got to know
that the Petitioner purchased the house in his name, she started to pressurize the
petitioner to transfer the title of the property in her name or sell the same and
give her 50% of the share. She made the life of the petitioner more and more
17. That the Petitioner has been constantly subjected to cruelty at the hands of the
Respondent and her family, and the same did not stop even when the Petitioner
became ill. The mother and sister of Respondent namely Ms. Anjali Yadav
always interfered in the personal matters of the Petitioner and Respondent and
on instigation from Respondent used to come to the house of the Petitioner and
18. It is pertinent to mention herein that even after all this the Petitioner was all in
love with the Respondent and could not foresee the Respondent’s evil plan to
harass and subject the Petitioner with cruelty. That the Respondent kept on
picking up quarrels on one reason or another and always ensured that the
environment of the house is always negative and the husband troubled. The
cruelties and miseries of the Petitioner did not end here as the Respondent
used to purposely ignore the girl child just to mentally torture the
19. The Respondent in order to mentally harass the petitioner and taking advantage
of job, used to put all the lights and electrical appliances on in the house and
waste electricity so that the petitioner is troubled by paying the hefty electricity
bills. Not only this, the Respondent used to lock the room from inside with the
child for hours together, depriving the petitioner not only his rights to play with
the child or spend time with his family but also to agonize the Petitioner
Petitioner’s life was the Television which he could hear and spend some leisure
time but since there is only one TV in the house which is in the room of the
Respondent, the Respondent used to lock the room from inside thereby taking
20. That the Respondent in lieu of her pre-planned conspiracy, pressurized the
Petitioner to transfer the property in her name. The Petitioner only for the sake
of his matrimonial life and for his child has shifted to Sangur (Punjab) and
started a new job over there. The Petitioner being nominal employee in a small
private company even purchased a new house in Sangur (Punjab) only to fulfil
the demands of Respondent. The same was purchased by the Petitioner, just to
show that Petitioner is caring husband and can take care of his family. But to
of the parties, Petitioner life was completely miserable and has been constantly
21. That the behavior of the respondent was turning cold and now she started
openly abusing the petitioner inside and outside the house. She in order to
harass the petitioner used to scream and shout and make false police calls to
show that she has been abused and tortured. The respondent has left no stone
unturned to make the life of the Petitioner a living hell and leaves no
opportunity to trouble and harass him. That the respondent has always treated
the Petitioner with utmost disrespect and treated the petitioner like a slave.
22. On one occasion in the month of October, 2013 the Respondent deliberately
called her mother and sister to Sangur (Punjab) only to pressurize the Petitioner
family members to take over the property, the Petitioner refused to do so and
Looking at the firm decision of Petitioner for not transferring the property title
in her name, Respondent has threatened to get the petitioner and his family
arrested in false cases. Hence, under the manipulation of her mother and sister
who were present alongwith the Respondent on 07.10.2013 filed a false and
bogus complaint against the Petitioner for beating at PS Sangrur (Punjab).
Petitioner and directed the Respondent to resolve the family issue. On account
of which the Respondent had withdrawn the alleged complaint and agreed for
23. The miseries of the petitioner didn’t end here, on account humiliation in and
around neighbours, his friends & colleagues, the Petitioner was completely
devastated and lost his self-confidence. Further, the Petitioner parents were
living in Delhi and his mother was not keeping well due to old age they were
seeking his constant support to take care of them. Considering the said fact, the
Petitioner in April – May 2015 shifted back to Delhi at his parental home. But,
the torture of the Respondent was constant against Petitioner and his family
members.
24. That despite such hard times, the Respondent neither took care of the family or
Petitioner nor bothered to take any care of the Petitioner and their child by any
means. In order to mentally torture the petitioner, she used to close the child in
the room for the whole day and taunt the petitioner and his parents saying “now
I will see how you will help her and how you will take her out”. She used to
deliberately create such circumstances that put the petitioner under torture and
made him feel helpless. Many a times the Respondent used to deliberately
leave the child in the room and used to lock her room for the entire day
just to torture to the Petitioner and to make him feel helpless. The
separate accommodation and a new residence in Delhi at her name near her
mother residence. The Respondent even threatened the Petitioner and his
family members, that if they will not agree with the terms of Respondent, she
will implicit them under false cases and can even send them to Jail.
25. The Petitioner for the sake of his matrimonial life, child, and his parents, on
constant mental torture and atrocities at the hand of Respondent, the Petitioner
was unable to focus on his job and has been only considering solutions to settle
down the Respondent. Due to which the Petitioner in the 2016 lost his Job on
account of poor performance. That despite such hard times, the Respondent
neither cut down her expenses nor bothered to take any care of the Petitioner
26. That the Respondent has never fulfilled her matrimonial obligation either as a
wife or as a mother and any requests on the part of the petitioner or any other
person to do so have only resulted in quarrels and the use of abusive language
by the respondent. The Respondent has threatened many a times to get the
petitioner and his family arrested in false cases. The respondent is in the habit
of constantly talking on the phone. Whenever the Petitioner tried to request the
Respondent to curtail her phone bill, or to ask her with whom she has been
talking, the same has resulted in the Respondent getting agitated and abusing
and manhandling the Petitioner. Due to no job and no income in hand, the
Petitioner was unable to pay the rental amount for the new accommodation and
his parents as he lost his job only on account of Respondent atrocities and
27. That the respondent continued to misbehave with the petitioner and his family
due to constant support and instigation by her mother and sister, who also have
humiliated the petitioner and his family members several times at his residence
by calling him “Bekhari and Berozgar”. They used to force the petitioner to
transfer the property Sangur (Punjab) property in the name of the Respondent.
They blackmailed him by saying that if he didn’t do it they shall take the child
away from him and threatened him also for causing miseries.
28. That the respondent is very ill-mannered and short tempered. In fits of rage, the
Petitioner was unable to find a good and suitable job to sustain his own and his
family livelihood.
29. That again in May 2016, the Respondent picked up quarrel with the Petitioner
unnecessarily and starting screaming at him so loudly that the Petitioner could
not bear it anymore and started to walk away, seeing this the Respondent got so
agitated that she assaulted the Petitioner and hit him badly as a result of which
the Petitioner sustained injuries on his left shoulder. The only reason for the
said quarrel was that the Petitioner is not working and he is not selling off his
property in Sangur (Punjab). The Respondent sole intention was to garb the
money out of the sale proceeds. Due to constant mental torture and trauma
being faced by the Petitioner, in May 2016 the Petitioner took the Respondent
separated for a period of time. But, Petitioner made constant effort to get the
his matrimonial relationship back to normal as he really love and care his
family and child. The Petitioner agreed to the terms of Respondent and
her name. Only after considering the proposal of the Petitioner, Respondent
30. In the month of June, 2016 with his constant hardwork and dedication had
found one suitable Job in GMR and joined the same. However, the said Job
was a transferable Job and Petitioner accepted the same only to sustain his
livelihood, as from past 6 months the Petitioner was completely jobless and
was unable to generate any income for the family. However, the Respondent
from very first day of his Job started demanding a new house in her name.
31. That the Respondent did not stop at this, the Respondent used to call the
Petitioner “Tharki” whenever the Petitioner is on his official call with his
bosses and seniors. Respondent even tried to contacted his boss and stated that
he is pervert person and is not a good human being. Whenever, the Petitioner
used to react on the same and take offence, she would record the same to later
reveal the same to the relatives and Police authorities to show how the
Respondent was being treated by the Petitioner. That the Petitioner has no
32. It is becoming miserable for the petitioner to live in his own house as he has
not only felt humiliated and tortured but also handicapped and helpless. Since
the Petitioner is managing his daily life with the little savings, he on several
occasions requested the Respondent to spend money wisely but the Respondent
used to get agitated and abuse the Petitioner stating that all this money is hers
and she can spend the money the way she wants.
33. That the sole intention of the Respondent was to harass the Petitioner to such
an extent that he bows down on his knees. She only wanted the sale proceeds of
the Punjab property and later wanted to disown the petitioner and their child.
34. That the Respondent used to mentally torture the petitioner and also physically
assault the Petitioner. She used to indulge into unnecessary argument with the
petitioner, abuse him and harass him and then used to scream and shout to
show that she is been harassed. Many a times the respondent even called the
police at home without any reason, who did not register any complaint as no
used to call the neighbours at home and recite stories of false miseries.
35. That during the stay of the Respondent at the matrimonial house, various
jewellery items, cash and gift vouchers were misplaced on a regular basis. On
one occasion in September 2017, the Petitioner was not in Delhi due to some
official work and went to Allahabad, when at the back of Petitioner various
jewellery items, cash and other valuables got misplaced and upon enquiry
Petitioner rushed to Delhi and upon enquiry from neighbours found out that no
36. That thereafter, the Respondent made it a practice, that on the slightest of
pretext, she used to pack her bags and leave the matrimonial house to go to her
counselling her, used to incite her not to go back to the matrimonial house
unless the petitioner came begging to her to come back, which the petitioner
usually used to do out of natural love and affection for his wife and to prevent
matrimonial discord.
37. That due to the frequent domestic problems and the cruelties being committed
upon the petitioner by the respondent, the health of the petitioner deteriorated
and the petitioner has been under treatment for the same.
38. That the Petitioner only for the sake of his matrimonial life, had accepted
Respondent contention and on February 2018 bought a new house bearing no.
G-7/ G-8, Flat No. 402, Shyam Park, Nawada, D. K. Mohan Garden, West
Delhi, Delhi- 110059. The said house was purchased by the Petitioner on loan
amounting to Rs. __________/- and had purchased the same in Joint name with
the Respondent and thereby shifted with the Respondent to have a peaceful and
happy matrimonial life. However, even after getting the property in Joint
Name, the atrocities of Respondent did not stop and she kept of fighting and
39. That with the passage of time Petitioner tried every possible effort to
accommodate and understand the Respondent and even tried to make her
control her anger. With this in the year on 04.10.2019 another child Master
Aayansh Yadav was born out of the wedlock. The Petitioner was very happy
and wanted to celebrate this occasion with all his family and friends. The
Respondent on this occasion screamed and created a hue and cry, as she did not
want Petitioner parents and family members to come for this occasion and give
blessings to the child. The Petitioner took every possible effort and provided all
the medical expenses for the Respondent during maternity period and even
during birth of child. Nevertheless, the Respondent sister and mother used
instigated the Respondent against the Petitioner and his family members even
during and after child birth, which overall impacted the health of mother and
child.
40. That the respondent even after giving of birth to child used to abuse the
Petitioner in front of her family, children, and friends. Once the petitioner
overheard saying to her friend that once the Respondent gets share in Punjab
property, she shall ruin the life of petitioner and implicate him and his family
members in false cases. On June, 2020 the Petitioner sold off the Punjab
property without telling the same to the Respondent, as he wanted to make pre-
payment towards the loan taken over by him for the present residence. After
loudly that the Petitioner could not bear it anymore and started to walk away,
seeing this the Respondent got so agitated that she assaulted the Petitioner and
hit him badly as a result of which the Petitioner sustained injuries. Due to such
from any other case she deliberately reported the same to the Police
Authorities. Ironically, she again withdrawn the complaint and settled the
dispute between Petitioner, as she herself knows that her complaint was
no support, care, love or even humanity for the Petitioner and only hatred,
insult, humiliation, and cruelty for the Petitioner in the heart of the respondent.
That from February 2021 the Petitioner kept on demanding to release his share
from the present property i.e. G-7/ G-8, Flat No. 402, Shyam Park, Nawada, D.
K. Mohan Garden, West Delhi, Delhi- 110059 in her name. As and when the
Petitioner had rejected to do, the Respondent uses abusive language in front of
his children and threat the Petitioner that she will throw her out of the home if
he failed to do so.

brother had thrown all the clothes and belongings of Petitioner out of his house
and told him that till the time the property is not transferred in her name or the
Petitioner shall not relinquish his right from the said property, he will not be
allowed to meet his children and enter the house. Since, 05.06.2021 both the

peacefully and had always faced cruel, mental torture and trauma. There was
hardly any time when the Petitioner and Respondent had a happy life and they
spend good times together. Even the children born out of the wedlock have
seen abusive incidents and fights from Respondent end. They hardly had any
normal conversation with each other. Every time the Petitioner tried to
reconcile with the respondent and tried to make her understand she ended up
44. That the Respondent is insisting that the Petitioner that he should transfer the
title of all property in her name or give her share in sale proceeds. The
Respondent has also threatened that in case the aforesaid demands of the
Respondent are not met, she will implicate the Petitioner and his family
members in various false cases. The Petitioner has also tried to talk to the
