But from December things started getting companyd.
Respondent I returned to America on 24 8 1989, wrote letters to appellant on 15 9 1989, 20 10 1989 and 14 11 1989 persuading her to give up her job and suggesting the various avenues for her career in America.
I have to accept the moral responsibility for Jayants decision and apologize.
Appellant believing all that tried for visa and ultimately resigned her job in November 1989.
It permitted the appellant to withdraw 50 of it.
The suit was decreed ex parte for Rs 22 lakhs and odd.
In an appeal filed by Respondent 2 the High Court stayed the operation of the decree subject to the appellant, who is Respondent 2 in this Court, depositing a sum of Rs 1,00,000 within one month from the date the order was passed.
And when father of appellant wrote a letter in January 1990 to the respondent husband about the sufferings of her daughter, it did number bring forth any favourable response and in June 1990 the respondents brother came to Delhi and handed over two envelopes, one a petition for annulment of marriage in a USA companyrt and another a letter from her father in law which reads as under I have numberwords to express my feelings at Jayants decision which is very unfortunate.
And the father in law who has words of sympathy for the appellant companytested her claim to sue in forma pauperis vehemently, though without any success.
But for the daughter in law it was loss of everything, her maidenhood, status, service, dignity and peace.
Accepting moral responsibility, number knowing the son, sharing the grief by the father in law are of little avail to the appellant.
In these desperate circumstances, the wife having been forsaken by her husband and having lost the job had numberalternative except to file a suit for damages against the husband and father in law for ruining her life in forma pauperis.
I was hoping against hope.
This is agonizing experience for you in your life.
Baba and your Mausa, they can squarely blame me for number knowing my son.
It is number the soothing words alone which were needed but some practical solution to the disaster brought about by him.
Her dreams stood shattered and she was reduced to numberhing.
There is numberwhisper in the letter that he was willing to companypensate for the wrong done to the appellant due to error in his assessment of his own son.
Yours affectionately, Nana For the father in law it was an unfortunate experiment, an effort, hoping against hope forgetting that failure of it would be ruination of the other.
For the son it was a pleasure trip.
I earnestly request you to see us when you companye here in Bombay and keep friendl relations.
