Dear Sir/s,
Is it possible to pursue the Police to register an offence u/s 376 IPC, when the consensual s*x on numerous occasion occurred between husband and wife, during the pendency of MCD u/s 13-B of HMA. The chronological sequence of the said case is as below:-
1. Marriage solemnized on 07-07-2014, stayed together till 11-12-2014.
2. Application of MCD u/s 13 B filed before Family Court No 03 on 29-12-2015 adjudicated vide HMP No. 2262/2015
3. During Second Motion the affidavit in chief was filed by both the petitioners on 30-06-2016 vide Exh: 09 & 10.
4. Divorce decree pronounced on 16-07-2016.
5. The amount of Rs 5.5 Lacs agreed to pay by Petitioner No.1 Husband towards permanent alimony was transferred on 11-08-2016, and later on 08-09-2016 the petitioner No 2 wife had reversed the amount of Rs 5 Lac in the account of Husband. Here the wife was constantly and consistently given an impression that the application would be withdrawn, and she would be accepted back to her matrimonial house. This misrepresentation was done by the husband by calling her every day, over phone for hours and making her false promises to reunite, the couple had even visited abroad, and many tourist locations. However the malafide intentions of the husband behind doing so was to ensure that the wife does not withdraw her consent and cooperate till the process of 13-B was concluded.
The day after the divorce decree was announced and awarded the husband has estranged her, not ready even to talk to her. The wife in this case was ready to co-habitat with him during the course of trial; however after considering the attitude of the husband who has destitute her so badly, she is now willing to appeal the said decree of divorce dtd 16-07-2016 and prevent the husband here from remarrying.
My queries:
- Since the statutory period u/s 28HMA, for preferring appeal against divorce is expired, can the same be done under article 226/227 before the High Court , if so the grounds of fraud will be admissible or not ?
- Can the complaint u/s 376, 418, 406 & 506 IPC are feasible?
- In the divorce petition both the petitioners have wrongly stated on oath with regards to the one year separation clause, will the offences under 191 & 193 IPC perjury attract?
- How can the decree for dissolution of marriage be challenged, as the ld Family Court has not completely followed the process and neither has made any attempt of reconciliation between the parties.
With regards
