examination, the appellant has admitted that she had offered no explanation as to where she had been during this period. If the appellant was keen to live with her husband, she gives no explanation also why she had not taken any steps towards reconciliation till she sent the notice under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act dated 20.02.2013. Concern of the respondent about her safety is evident from the fact that he searched for her, made enquiries and then lodged a missing report. Had he turned her out of the matrimonial home, there was no occasion for him to make enquiries and on finding that she had not reached her parental home, lodge a missing report. The cotemporaneous conduct of respondent lends weight into the truthfulness of his testimony and inspires confidence. The appellant has failed to prove on record any such effort, while the respondent has contended and deposed about the efforts and attempts he made to bring her back to matrimonial home. The last straw was when she without the respondent‟s consent, aborted the child at her parental home, still he reconciled.
