                                                     JUDGMENT

This Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeal has been filed against

the fair and decreetal order, dated 04.01.2021 passed in CMA.No.33 of

2020, on the file of the Additional District and Sessions Court / Fast Track

Court, Tenkasi, confirming the fair and decreetal order, dated 07.01.2020

passed in E.A.No.183 of 2018 in E.P.No.7 of 2016 in O.S.No.265 of 2003,

on the file of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Tenkasi.

2. The brief facts, leading to the filing of this Civil

Miscellaneous Second Appeal, are as follows:-

The 1st respondent had obtained a decree and Judgment for

declaration of possession as against the husband of the appellant / 2nd

respondent herein in O.S.No.265 of 2023, on the file of the Sub Court,

Tenkasi, on 12.03.2008. The said decree was put in enforcement in

E.P.No.7 of 2016 before the Sub Court, Tenkasi. When the above said E.P

was pending, an E.A has been filed by the wife, Judgment Debtor viz.,

appellant herein to obstruct the delivery on the ground that she has a right

of residence in the matrimonial home. She has also taken a stand that she

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A. (MD)No.22 of 2021

was residing separately from her husband and hence, she has a right of

residence in the said property. However, the learned Subordinate Judge,

Tenkasi considering the fact that there is no decree of divorce obtained

and there is no evidence to show that the petitioner / appellant herein was

living separately, dismissed the obstruction petition filed by the appellant

confirming the Judgment and decree passed in O.S.No.265 of 2023, on the

file of the Sub-Court, Tenkasi. Against which, the appellant has filed an

appeal in in CMA.No.33 of 2020, on the file of the Principal District

Court, Tirunelveli and the learned Judge has also confirmed the order of

the Subordinate Judge, Tenaski, as against which, the present Civil

Miscellaneous Second Appeal has been filed by the appellant.

3. The learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the

execution petition in E.P.No.7 of 2016 itself was disposed of on

03.09.2021 and delivery has been effected and recorded.

4. Such view of the matter, nothing survives for adjudication

in the above Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeal. It is to be noted that

when the decree has been obtained against the husband of the appellant

filing of application by the wife resisting the delivery itself is motivated

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A. (MD)No.22 of 2021

and without establishing the factum of divorce or any charge over the the

property towards maintenance, such plea cannot be entertained as a matter

of right. I do not find any merit in the Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeal

and accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeal is dismissed. No

costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
