unnecessarily which ruined the matrimonial life between him and the respondent. Even though the appellant advised the respondent to limit herself from divulging the family affairs that had been taking place in the matrimonial home to her parents and relatives, she did not desist herself from interacting with her family members about the incidents that are taking place in the matrimonial home. According to the appellant, during the course of his new employment he took up at Ahmed Nagar, Maharashtra, the respondent and his children accompanied him to Ahmed Nagar. However, in the year 2000, the appellant was compelled to leave his wife and children at Chennai for the sake of education of his children by temporarily setting up a separate house for the stay of his wife and children. While so, during August 2000, the father of the respondent died and therefore, the respondent accompanied her mother along with the children and stayed with her mother. During such stay, the appellant was not permitted to meet the respondent or the children for the reasons best known to respondent. The appellant had taken several steps to meet the respondent and the children but it went in vain. It is the specific grievance of the appellant that inspite of his objection and opposition, his daughter was given in marriage to a groom by the respondent and her mother and ultimately his daughter's matrimonial life came to an end by way of decree of divorce passed by the competent Family Court. In any event, the respondent is residing separately from 07.03.2010 along with her mother and the children. In fact, the respondent insisted the appellant to resign his job at Ahmed Nagar, Maharashtra and to come down to Chennai permanently. Accordingly, the appellant also resigned his job but inspite of the same, the respondent failed and neglected to join the appellant. According to the appellant, the desertion of the respondent from the matrimonial company of the appellant is without any just and sufficient cause. The appellant was 62 years at the time instituting the Original Petition. According to the appellant, at such an advanced age, he needed the care and support of the respondent and the children. The appellant had sent a notice dated 16.03.2001 calling upon the respondent to come and join him in the matrimonial home. On receipt of the notice dated 16.03.2001, a reply notice was sent on 23.04.2001 containing false and incorrect averments. Therefore, the appellant has filed the petition under Section 9 of The Hindu Marriage Act for restitution of conjugal rights.
