Case Summary: MAT Suit No. 51/2025 Court Decision: The Additional District Judge, Malda granted Abhijit Saha's petition for restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on an ex parte basis. The respondent Rupa Poddar is directed to return to the matrimonial home within 3 months, failing which the petitioner may execute the decree. Key Reasoning: The court found that the petitioner proved his case through uncontroverted evidence, including the marriage invitation card and legal notice sent to the respondent. The petitioner established that he and respondent were validly married in 2013, had a son together, and that the respondent voluntarily abandoned the matrimonial home on 23.07.2023 without reasonable cause and refused to return despite multiple attempts at reconciliation and a formal legal notice.
