JUDGMENT Mr. Rajiv Narain Raina, J. (Oral):- The petitioner and the respondent are present in person and represented by their respective Counsel. The wife obtained a decree of divorce against her husband from the Matrimonial Court at Kurukshetra in HMA case No.40/3 of 1990, Gurdeep Kaur v. Harbhajan Singh. The marriage stood dissolved by an ex parte decree. The husband did not know of this decree till 22 years later in the month of January, 2013. He then moved an application before the Matrimonial Court for setting aside the ex parte decree. The application has been dismissed vide order dated 19.3.2013. Against that order, the husband has filed this appeal praying that the order be set aside as well as ex parte decree. 2. The appellant very candidly confesses before this Court that he was an alcoholic but is now reformed and has not touched liquor for the last 10 years or so. Strange as it may be seen, both the parties say that they are living together happily and peacefully and would continue to do so. They have 2 daughters and one son. They are all married and settled. One son-in-law is a Brigadier in the Indian Army while the other is a Lieutenant Colonel. The daughters, sons-in-law and his son had contributed in patching up the relationship between the parties. 3. In the circumstances, by consent, the ex parte divorce decree dated 4.9.1990 is set aside. Parties will henceforth be legally wedded husband and wife. 4. Disposed of. ———————
