The appellant-husband has filed the appeal

praying to set aside the order dated 02.08.2022 in

Misc. Civil Case No.89 of 2021, (Smt. Preeti

versus Arun Kumar) passed by Principal Judge,

Family Court, Muzaffar Nagar whereby the

application of respondent-wife under Section 5 of

the Limitation Act has been allowed on a cost of

Rs.5,000/-. The aforesaid delay condonation

application was filed by the respondent-wife for

condoning the delay in filing the application

under Order 9 Rule 3 of the CPC for recalling of

the ex-parte judgement and decree dated

19.11.2018 in Divorce Case No.918 of 2016,

(Arum Kumar versus Smt. Preeti).

We have perused the impugned order. We find

that the respondent-wife has taken clear stand

that she was not aware of the aforesaid divorce

case and notice of the summon of divorce case

was not served upon her. From the objection of

the appellant herein dated 13.05.2022
