M.F. Saldana, J. 1. We have heard the appellant's learned counsel who has applied to the Court for disposal of this appeal on the ground that the delay is working very adversely against the interest of the appellant-wife. We have taken note of the facts of this case which are extremely sad, namely, that virtually from the day when the couple got married the respondent husband has been abusing and ill-treating the appellant-wife so much so that the marriage ultimately broke-up and the present appellant-wife filed a matrimonial case in No. 939/1998 before the Family Court at Bangalore under Section 10 of the Indian Divorce Act praying for dissolution of the marriage. The respondent husband was served before the trial court and he did not contest the proceeding. For the reasons that we shall presently deal with, the Family Court dismissed the petition against which the appellant wife was required to file the present appeal. The respondent has been duly served by all means including paper ...
