2021 YLR 1550

 Recovery of dowry articles---Parties were husband and wife inter se and the relationship ended in divorce---Suit for recovery of dowry articles filed by wife was decreed in her favour but Lower Appellate Court on the basis of "acknowledgment receipt" dismissed the suit---Validity---Suit was filed by wife and she was not shown to be a party in disputed document (acknowledgement receipt) nor a signatory thereto---Wife could not be denied right to recover dowry articles which were received at the house of her ex-husband---Family Court rightly declined to accept the document as a valid piece of evidence to deny relief to ex-husband while Lower Appellate Court fell in error in non-suiting wife on the basis of inadmissible evidence by misreading of record---High Court in exercise of Constitutional jurisdiction set aside judgment and decree passed by (e) 1 Lower Appellate Court and restored that of Family Court---
