The wife ‘Y’, during his absence, fell in love with ‘Z’, a friend of ‘X’. They had between them mutually exchanged letters. One of such letters containing very personal and objectionable materials reached into the hands of X’s father. On his return from America father told his son about the episode. To her husband’s query, she, however, refused and left the X’s place for her parents. ‘X’ wrote a letter thereafter asking her to send the child. Some attempts were also tried to reach an understanding between ‘X’ and In pursuant thereof, the mother-in-law of ‘X’ sent a communication to ‘X’ about the return of ‘Y’ and asking him to receive his wife at the station. ‘X’ replied that she should not be sent back. ‘X’ after sometime files a petition for divorce on the ground of desertion.
