possible for him. He resides with his parents. He stated that,
no act of domestic violence and cruelty at their hands
occurred, on contrary, on demand of separate residence,
applicant residing at her parents house. He and other
respondents have not physically and mentally, harassed her.

6. If considered the submissions made by Ld. counsels
for both the parties, allegations levelled against each others,
not disputed fact, disclosed unless there is violence at the
hands of respondents, there is no reason to applicant to reside
at her parents house. The question arises, who is responsible
for it. It is matter of fact, mere basis of allegation said issue
cannot be decided, it is initial stage, as it required full fledge
hearing. But it is admitted position that both are residing
separately from each other.
7. If considered source of respondent No.1 and it is
obligation of respondent No. 1 to maintain his wife
irrespective the fact as to whether she is earing or not by
virtue of obligation it is boundant duty to maintain his wife
i.e. applicant. It is submitted by applicant that, respondent is
earning `.20,000/ p.m., same is denied by the respondent
No.1, stated that, he is working on daily wages basis, but
applicant submitted payment slip issued by Welspun India
Ltd., for the month of September 2018, on record, shows net
salary `.18,137/ of respondent No. 1. If read section 106 of
Indian Evidence Act, respondent has to disclose those facts,
which are within his knowledge, but he is not done so, hence,
submission in that regard made by Ld. counsel for respondent
cannot be accepted. It appears that, the submission made by
the respondent No. 1 this juncture found to be unbelievable,
-- 4 of 7 --
C. C. No. : 182 /DV/2018 ~5~
because without earning any income how he maintain his
family. If considered prayer of applicant and the fact that
respondent is maintaining his family and he is under
obligation to maintain his wife, I am of view that, applicant is
in need of maintenance, question raised to what extent. If
considered source of respondent No.1, requirements and
needs of applicant amount of `.6,000/ p.m. is sufficient for
her maintenance.
8. So far as relief with regard to residence, it appears
that, applicant at present residing at her parents house,
therefore prayer for same cannot be granted. Further,
respondents are required to restrain from creating any kind of
domestic violence in future to applicant at the place, where
she resides or work. Accordingly, I pass following order.
