(B.V.L.N. Chakravarthi, J.)
Heard Sri Sri Atchyut, learned counsel representing on behalf of Sri E.V.V.S.Ravi Kumar, learned counsel for the revision-petitioner and Sri Bolla Venkata Rama Rao, learned counsel for the respondent.
2. This revision-petition is directed against the Order, dated 18.12.2015 in E.P.No.44 of 2015 in O.P.No.42 of 2001 on the file of II Additional Senior Civil Judge’s Court, Kakinada. The execution petition was filed by the revision-petitioner/wife for ‘Restoration of Conjugal Rights’ under Order XXI Rule 32 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for brevity ‘CPC’). The execution petition was ‘Dismissed’ by the execution Court.
3. The revision-petitioner filed the execution petition with a prayer to direct the respondent/husband to restore conjugal rights.
4. The respondent/husband opposed the execution application that it is not maintainable in law.
5. The learned Trial Judge ‘Dismissed’ the execution petition on the ground that under Order XXI Rule 32 CPC, where a party against whom the decree for restitution of conjugal rights has been passed has had an opportunity of obeying the decree and has willfully failed to obey it, the decree may be enforced by attachment of the property. but the revision-petitioner/wife did not seek attachment of any property of the respondent.

This Court under the Order in C.M.A.No.3940 of 2003, allowed the O.P.No.42 of 2001 filed by the revision-petitioner/wife under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, granting the relief of Restitution of Conjugal Rights.
9. The revision-petitioner/wife subsequently filed the impugned execution petition before the Trial Court in E.P.No.44 of 2015 in O.P.No.42 of 2001 under Order XXI Rule 32 CPC. The affidavit filed by the revision-petitioner/wife before the Trial Court would show that she prayed the Court to direct the respondent/husband to restore the conjugal rights. The execution petition at column No.12, the relief is as under:
10. Therefore, the revision-petitioner simply prayed the Trial Court to direct the respondent/husband to restore the conjugal rights, without seeking attachment of the property of the husband.
11. Nowhere, in the affidavit or in the execution petition it is found, that the revi
The petitioner failed to prove illegal dispossession under Order XXI Rule 32 CPC, leading to the dismissal of her application for execution of the decree.
The decree-holder must prove that the judgment-debtor had an opportunity to obey the decree and willfully failed to obey it when seeking enforcement under Order XXI Rule 32 of the CPC.
The twin conditions of the judgment debtor's opportunity to obey the decree and wilful failure to obey it, as laid down in Order XXI Rule 32 CPC, are mandatory and coexistent, and the exceptional pow....
The court may dismiss an execution petition as unsatisfied if the judgment-debtor resides abroad and has no property in the jurisdiction. The decree-holder may be given liberty to file a fresh execut....
Maintenance orders under S.125 Cr.P.C. remain valid despite decrees for restitution of conjugal rights.
