JUDGMENT :

R.SAKTHIVEL, J.

The parties herein got married on June 14, 2017, according to Hindu rites and customs. Some disputes arose between the couple. Consequently, on August 18, 2020, the husband filed a petition under Section 13 (1) (i-a) of the ‘ HINDU MARRIAGE ACT , 1955’ [‘H.M. Act’ for short] before the Principal Sub Judge, Trichy against his wife praying to dissolve the marriage between them, and on October 28, 2020, the wife filed a petition in O.P.No.2395 of 2020 under Section 9 of the H.M. Act before the 'I Additional Family Court, Chennai' ('the Family Court' for short) praying for restitution of conjugal rights. The petition filed by the husband was later transferred to the Family Court and renumbered as O.P.No.3713 of 2021. Joint trial was conducted. On the side of the wife, wife was examined as P.W.1 and Ex-P.1 to Ex-P.9 were marked. On the side of the husband, the husband was examined as R.W.1 and Ex-R.1 to Ex-R.4 were marked. The Family Court eventually ruled in favour of wife by way of a Common Judgment and Decree dated December 13, 2022. Challenging the same, the husband has preferred these Civil Miscellaneous Appeals.
