H.M.O.P.No.32 of 2024 Page No.2 of 7
sixteen years ago at Manubothulagadda Village, Khanapur
Mandal, Warangal District as per Hindu rites and customs prevailing in their community. At the time of marriage, on demand of respondent and his family, parents of the petitioner presented cash of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only), one tula gold, apart from spending huge amounts towards marriage expenses. Post marriage, petitioner joined the conjugal society of respondent at Manugur Village. Their marriage was consummated and out of their wedlock, they are blessed with two female children namely, Preethi and Rakshitha who are aged 14 years and 12 years respectively.
2.(b). Petitioner further submits that post the birth of second daughter, respondent got addicted to alcohol and beat the petitioner indiscriminately in drunken state. He failed to provide maintenance and basic necessities to the petitioner and children. He suspected the fidelity of petitioner and verbally abused her in the presence of neighbours and villagers.
Although the petitioner tried to convince the respondent, regarding her chastity, he continued his harassment. He demanded petitioner to get money from her parents for his vices and when she failed to yield his demand, he harassed her mentally and physically.
2.(c). It is further submitted that in a panchayath held
before village elders, respondent admitted his guilt and
promised that he would lookafter the welfare of petitioner and children. Subsequently, both lead happy marital life for one month. Post one month of the panchayath, he again started

H.M.O.P.No.32 of 2024 Page No.3 of 7
harassing the petitioner and necked her out, however, with the intervention of elders, he took the petitioner into marital fold and this continued on several occasions. Ten years ago, respondent beat the petitioner indiscriminately and necked her out from his house. Eversince, petitioner and her daughters are residing at her parents place at Manubothulagadda Village,
Khanapur Mandal, Warangal District. While the matter stood thus, on 03.06.2024, respondent, Rapolu Babu, Rapolu Anitha,
Rapolu Bunny and Sampangi Raju criminally trespassed into the parental house of petitioner and abused her and her parents.
They also abused them physically and threatened them with dire consequences. Hence, she lodged a report with Police
Khanapur, whereafter, police registered a case in Cr.No.76/2024 for the offences, under sections 448, 290, 506 and 323 r/w 34
IPC. Though the petitioner and her parents tried to convince the respondent, to mend his ways, he did not respond to lead marital life with the petitioner. Respondent treated the petitioner with such cruelty, causing apprehension in the mind of petitioner that it would be harmful for her to live with him. There is no hope to the petitioner for leading conjugal life with the respondent and no possibility for their reunion. Hence, the petition.
3.Having received the notice, respondent failed to enter appearance, hence was set exparte and remained so all through the proceedings.
4.During the course of enquiry, petitioner filed her evidence affidavit in lieu of chief in examination and got marked Ex.P1.

One V.Yellaiah is examined as PW2 to support the claim of the petitioner.
5.Heard learned counsel for petitioner and perused the material placed on record.
6.Now the point that emerges for consideration is
“Whether the petitioner is entitled for decree
of divorce as prayed for?”
7.FINDINGS : As stated earlier, petitioner got herself examined as PW1 and got marked Ex.P1 Marriage Invitation
Card, which proves her marriage with the respondent held about sixteen years ago at Manubothulagadda Village, Khanapur
Mandal, Mandal, Warangal District. As per her testimony, at the time of marriage, on demand of respondent and his family, parents of the petitioner presented cash of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only), one tula gold, apart from spending huge amounts towards marriage expenses. Post marriage, petitioner joined the conjugal society of respondent at Manugur
Village. Their marriage was consummated and out of their wedlock, they are blessed with two female children namely,
Preethi and Rakshitha who are aged 14 years and 12 years respectively.
8.PW1 further testifies that post the birth of second daughter, respondent got addicted to alcohol and beat the petitioner indiscriminately in drunken state. He failed to provide maintenance and basic necessities to the petitioner and

children. He suspected the fidelity of petitioner and verbally abused her in the presence of neighbours and villagers. She further testifies that in a panchayath held before village elders, respondent admitted his guilt and promised that he would lookafter the petitioner and children properly. Subsequently, both lead happy marital life for one month. Post one month of the panchayath, he again started harassing the petitioner and necked her out, however, with the intervention of elders, he took the petitioner into marital fold and this continued on several occasions. Ten years ago, respondent beat the petitioner indiscriminately and necked her out from his house. Eversince, petitioner and her daughters are residing at her parents place at
Manubothulagadda Village, Khanapur Mandal, Warangal District.
PW1 further testifies that on 03.06.2024, respondent, Rapolu
Babu, Rapolu Anitha, Rapolu Bunny and Sampangi Raju criminally trespassed into her parental house and abusing her and her parents. They also abused them physically and threatened them with dire consequences. Hence, she lodged a report at Police Khanapur, whereafter, police registered a case in
Cr.No.76/2024 for the offences, under sections 448, 290, 506 and 323 r/w 34 IPC. Respondent treated the petitioner with such cruelty, causing apprehension in the mind of petitioner that it would be harmful for her to live with him. There is no hope to the petitioner for leading conjugal life with the respondent and no possibility for their reunion.
9.PW2 testified supporting the case of the petitioner. As per his testimony, petitioner is the wife of respondent and ten years ago, due to some disputes, respondent harassed the petitioner
SCJ Narsampet
H.M.O.P.No.32 of 2024 Page No.6 of 7
and necked her out from his house. He being one of the village elders, who attended the panchayath, testified that the panchayath elders, convinced the respondent to change his attitude and lead marital life with the petitioner. However, respondent failed to mend his ways. Petitioner suffered mental harassment in the hands of the respondent.
10.Conversely, a perusal of the record reflects that respondent remained exparte all through the proceedings. Petitioner/PW1 and PW2 adduced their evidence by way of filing evidence affidavits, however, respondent failed to cross examine them, hence, the contents of their affidavits remained unchallenged.
There is nothing patent on record to disprove or discard the evidence of PWs 1 and 2, hence, petitioner by way of documentary evidence under Ex.P1 proved the marriage between herself and the respondent and by way of her unrebutted ocular and documentary evidence, proved that respondent was instrumental in creating conjugal disruption and due to his attitude towards the petitioner, their marriage was irretrievably broken.
11.From the foregoing discussion, this Court opines that the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent is irretrievably broken and there is no hope of their reunion, thus, under compelled circumstances put forth by the petitioner, there is no option except to grant divorce as prayed by the petitioner by dissolving their marriage. Accordingly, point is answered.

12.In the result, petition is allowed, granting decree of divorce with effect from 17.10.2025 by dissolving the marriage of petitioner and respondent, held on 24.09.2009. In the circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs.
