Brief facts of the case are as under: (a) The marriage of petitioner/wife and respondent/husband was solemnized on 26.07.2020 in the presence of elders as per the Hindu rites and customs and thereafter, few conjugal disputes arose between them during their wedlock. Subsequently, the respondent/husband left to USA on 28.12.2020 for job and on 28.04.2021, the petitioner/wife gave birth to a child. As the petitioner/wife relocated to USA to pursue further studies, leaving behind the minor child with her parents, the respondent/husband returned to India in September, 2022 and requested his in-law’s to hand over his son. But, as the minor child was not handed over to the respondent/husband and due to few conjugal disputes between the spouses, the respondent/husband instituted F.C.O.P.No.217 of 2023 on the file of Court of the VI Additional 4 VS,J CRP.No.10 of 2025 District Judge, Family Court, Kadapa seeking a decree of divorce dissolving the marriage that took place on 26.07.2020 between the spouses.

However, the trial Court, dismissed the application filed by her vide the impugned order dated 14.12.2024 on the ground that the petitioner/wife failed to assign reasons for her absence before the Court below earlier. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed this revision petition. However, subsequently, on 03.01.2025, the Court below has passed a decree of divorce. 3. When the civil revision petition came up for admission on 06.01.2025, this Court has suspended the operation of the order passed by the learned Judge, Family Court, Kadapa, dated 03.01.2025 in F.C.O.P.No.217 of 2023, initially for a period of three (3) days, which was thereafter extended from time to time. 4.

However, learned counsel for the petitioner sought liberty to file an appeal before the appellate Court against the order dated 03.01.2025. Learned counsel for the respondent did not object for the said submission. 6.
