                                                                             C.M.S.A.Nos.39 & 40 of 2021



                                             COMMON JUDGMENT
                               The Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeals are filed against the

                     Common Judgment and Decree in C.M.A.Nos.1 & 2 of 2019 dated

                     23.10.2019 on the file of the 1st Additional District Judge, Tiruvallur, in

                     confirming the Judgment and Decree dated 28.11.2018 made in

                     H.M.O.P.Nos.104 & 135 of 2014 on the file of Sub-Court, Ponneri,

                     Tiruvallur District.



                               2. The appellant/husband filed a petition for Dissolution of

                     marriage in H.M.O.P.No.104 of 2014 before the Sub Court, Ponenri.

                     The respondent/wife filed a petition for Restitution of conjugal rights in

                     H.M.O.P.No.135 of 2014 before the Sub Court, Ponneri.



                               3. Both the petitions were adjudicated and the petition filed by the

                     appellant for divorce was dismissed and the restitution petition was

                     ordered, against which, two appeals were filed before the I Additional

                     District Judge, Tiruvallur, in C.M.A.Nos.1 & 2 of 2019. The I

                     Additional District Judge also adjudicated the issues and dismissed the


                     2/6

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/
                                                                            C.M.S.A.Nos.39 & 40 of 2021

                     petition filed by the appellant, confirming the judgment and decree

                     passed by the trial Court. Challenging the concurrent judgment, the

                     present Second Appeals are filed.



                               4. Both the Courts have elaborately adjudicated the facts,

                     documents and evidences and those facts were adjudicated before the

                     trial Court as well as the First Appellate Court cannot be interfered with.

                     The Substantial Question of law as raised in the present appeals reads as

                     under:

                                     “i) Whether the Courts below the right in dismissing
                               the HMOP when the substantial was made out by the
                               Appellant/Husband for granting divorce.
                                     ii) Whether the Courts below right in dismissing the
                               H.M.O.P. From divorce despite the parties living
                               separately for than a period on 5 years and the
                               relationship broke down drastically.
                                     iii)   Whether    the    Husband/Appellant        were
                               established that the respondent/wife have earned annually
                               on the husband and divorce of dismissing can be
                               granted?”
                               5. Perusal of the above substantial questions of law shows that all


                     3/6

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/
                                                                            C.M.S.A.Nos.39 & 40 of 2021

                     relatable to facts and the appellant could not able to raise any substantial

                     question of law, warranting further interference by this Court in the

                     present Second Appeals. Mere framing of Substantial question of law is

                     insufficient. Questions of law framed must be capable of further

                     adjudication by the High Court, more specifically, under Section 100 of

                     C.P.C.



                               6. In the present cases, the questions of law raised are not worthy

                     for the purpose of further adjudication of facts and circumstances as

                     well as the evidences, which were already adjudicated elaborately by the

                     trial Court, which was confirmed by the First Appellate Court. In view

                     of the fact that the appellant could not able to raise any acceptable

                     substantial question of law, which is mandatory, this Court is not

                     inclined to entertain the appeals.




                               7. Accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeals in


                     4/6

                                                                     C.M.S.A.Nos.39 & 40 of 2021

                     C.M.S.A.Nos.39 & 40 of 2021 stand dismissed. No costs.



                                                                                 10.03.2021
