It is a summary of written statement, filed by the
Respondent, in the case of Sh. Ritesh Mishra (Petitioner) Vs. Dr. Aruna Mishra (Respondent). The Respondent is only daughter and mid sibling between two sons of Dr. S.K. Tripathi who is a retired Govt. Officer of MP Provincial Services, resident of Datia. The Petitioner is a Central Govt. employee, working at New Delhi, younger sibling of two brothers, son of Retd. Govt. employee of MP State and resident of Chhatarpur. In December 2002, marriage got satisfactorily solemnized between the respondent and petitioner. The respondent and her family obliged and fulfilled every social & financial demands of petitioner’s family right from the Pakhyat (Tilak) to marriage in which Rs. 7 Lakhs were given by the respondent’s family on…..in cash for purchasing a house in Delhi, and a bike was gifted on demand of the petitioner. Besides it, the Respondent took the cash of Rs. 2 Lakhs and gold, silver and gold-platinum jewelries with her gifted by her parents, relatives and of her own savings. After the marriage, respondent came to a small rented house in Delhi along with the petitioner. On deep persuasion of the petitioner and considering the poor financial conditions of him, the respondent started working in small establishments for fulfilling the domestic obligations of home. The respondent noticed that Petitioner was in habit of making female acquaintances and lustrous life earlier before marriage which he continued after marriage. In June 2006, they purchased and shifted to a flat in East Delhi. The respondent conceived a child even after resistance from the petitioner and his family. Meanwhile, she got employed in FSL, Home Department of Delhi Government. The petitioner carried on living a lavish life with female friends and telling lies to the Respondent which increased the pressure and financial burdens on the respondent. Still, she kept on compromising, maintaining her kid, tried her best for maintaining a positive & pleasant environment in the family, and to save her family life at any cost. However, the Petitioner’s lustrous activities aggravated the financial extortion of the respondent to the degree of theft, harassing her old aged ill parents, and frequent lying and manipulations with the respondent which kept on increasing along with the passage of time. In compelling situations, the respondent restricted the free access of petitioner on her financial instruments as Debit/ATM cards, cheque-books, pass-books etc. and started giving a fix amount of Rs. 25,000/- per month to the petitioner through account transaction. The petitioner, who was habitual of extracting her complete salaried income through all means and manipulations, remained annoyed with this arrangement and with a pre-planned motive to maintain the respondent’s assets under his complete hold & grip, employed her office mate Ms. Neema on pretext of full-time domestic help in their house. Ms. Neema was well-acquainted with the luxurious activities and extra-marital affairs of the petitioner, was enjoying a ‘special status’ in home and used to facilitate the petitioner for all kind of lustrous activities. Meanwhile, the Respondent was extremely occupied with her studies and two years training course at IHBAS and was facing a ‘secondary status’ in her own home due to unusual ‘jugalbandi’ of Ms. Neema and the petitioner. The respondent also noticed that the petitioner used to create false evidence against character and conduct the respondent trough unwarranted access of her personal gadgets and documents. In April 2016, due to some admission seat issue, litigation was occurred and the Respondent was badly entangled managing with her responsibilities, her circumstances at home and sensitive office liabilities at her work-place. In August 2018, Respondent’s father informed her that Sh. Atul Mishra, one of his family acquaintance need some help and support for stay in Delhi for IVF treatment of his wife Babita Mishra for which the respondent was agreed. She invited and assured both of them to support at her best. After, few days of their stay at Respondent’s home, the petitioner and Ms. Neema started troubling the respondent and guest couple on unusual excuse of ‘intrusion in their privacies’ and trying to expel from the house. The respondent took her stand to support for their stay in Delhi till their need of treatment and as a counter-blast of the Respondent stand, and by taking it as an opportunity to enter into a live-in relation-ship with his 5 years old female friend, Dr. Usha Kohli, the Petitioner has created the present scenario and false stories against the Respondent.
The present petition is an outcome of the petitioner’s
revenge against the financial restrictions imposed by the respondent, taking a stand for supporting a family in their need, maintaining his extramarital affairs & live-in relationships with multiple females at a time, making them fool by showing this petition for their physical exploitations by making fake promise of marriage, and exploiting other female acquaintances around him.
In February 2019, the respondent left the home entering
into a live-in relationship with his female friend namely Dr. Usha residing in a nearby vicinity not considering the social stigma and mental trauma, occurring of the respondent and her growing son. In June 2020, Dr. Usha informed her that the Petitioner was persistently persuading her for continuing live-in relationships though she was not interest anymore owing to ‘noutanki’, dramatic and cheating habits of the petitioner. On 24th September 2022, Respondent was contacted by a lady Meenakshi Sharma about her physical assault done by the petitioner by promise of marriage which was registered in Police Station Shalimar Bagh on…..vide FIR No…… for offences u/s 376, ….504, for which the petitioner in on Bail. It proves that the petitioner is enjoying and living life on the principal of eat, drink, and remarry, punishing the respondent for no fault of her and getting rid scratch free accusing her of all misdeeds, misconduct, and social misconducts done by him. In fact, just contrary to his averments, the respondent has always tried to maintain a positive & pleasant environment in the home, and save her family life at any cost which she is doing till date. This petition is rather a tool of extorting cash & kinds from the Respondent which he has done since beginning of the marriage with the respondent. Since after marriage the respondent came to Delhi, she was coerced by the petitioner to earn money though jobs for him and domestic expenses, and when she attained the govt. job in Forensic Science Laboratory, Rohini, Delhi he kept on exploiting her by all modes and manner, as a cost of continuing his family life peacefully and this could be verified from the bank accounts statements of the respondent and the petitioner itself.
Since from the date of purchase of a property in Hans
Apartment in respondent’s name, the Petitioner with due support and instigation of his parents, coercing the respondent to transfer on his name and threaten the respondent to face dire consequences like her character assassination in public or to divorce her, and his unwarranted threatening are now converted into the nefarious action of serving this Divorce petition in which the petitioner has threated the respondent’s for false litigation and conjunction suit against her and seeking the ways of getting maintenance from the respondent for his lustrous activities.
It is pertinent to mention that the said property was
purchased by the gift money of respondent’s parents and all expenses of transfer of property were solely borne by the respondent’s parents only keeping in view the Petitioner’s week financial position at the time of his marriage. But, in place of feeling of gratitude and respect towards them, the Petitioner started this marriage as a tool of money generating system and creating trouble to the Respondent and her only son Aryan in one way or the other using manipulative tactics to attain his motives. Not merely it, all ‘stree-dhan’ (the jewelry and ornaments given by the parents, relative in the marriage of the respondent), has been taken away while he left the home sheepishly without even giving a hint or and information of his shifting to his new rented accommodation which is criminal breach of trust and an act of theft along with unauthorized movement of the respondent’s valuable goods and money incurring huge financial loss and mental agony to the respondent. The respondent had no knowledge of any police complaint to DCP, PS, Pitampura and SHO, PS, Rohini, Delhi and only came to know of it through the copy of this Petition only, as the respondent was never ever been informed or the matter was investigated. Although, by prima facie reading the complaint, it is self-established that when the petitioner did not get anything against the Respondent he has used his child as a tool and visit of Mr. Atul Mishra as a sword to attack the respondent. The respondent and any person known to her have never ever performed any wrongful act towards the petitioner and the allegations made are false & baseless. Also, the information and details sworn under the affidavits by the Petitioner are also wrong and manipulated for misleading this Hon’ble Court. Hence, this petition is liable to be quashed with heavy cost against the Petitioner.
