JUDGMENT
Anil K. Narendran, J.
The appellant is the 1st respondent in O.P.No.824 of 2010
on the file of the Family Court, Nedumangad, which is one filed
by the 1st respondent herein-husband, seeking a decree of
divorce under Section 13(i) and (ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act,
on the ground of adultery and cruelty. In that original petition,
the appellant raised a counter claim for return of gold
ornaments. By the judgment and decree dated 25.07.2013,
the Family Court allowed O.P.No.824 of 2010 granting a decree
of divorce dissolving the marriage solemnised between the
appellant and the 1st respondent on 04.04.1994. The counter
claim filed by the appellant was partly allowed and the 1st
respondent was directed to return 12 sovereigns of gold
ornaments or its market value at the time of realization and
Rs.60,000/- to the appellant. The appellant was also granted
with her half share in the property partitioned and vacant
possession of the same. Challenging the said judgment and
decree, the appellant is before this Court in this appeal
invoking the provisions under Section 19(1) of the Family
Courts Act, 1984, along with C.M.Application No.2 of 2014
Mat.Appeal No.129 of 2014
seeking condonation of the delay of 37 days, which was
allowed by the order of this Court dated 27.01.2023.
2. Today, when this appeal is taken up for admission,
the learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the
appellant do not want to prosecute this appeal further.
Therefore, this appeal may be dismissed as withdrawn.
Recording the aforesaid submission made by the learned
counsel for the appellant, this appeal is dismissed as
withdrawn.
