Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Waqas Gill VS Riffat Awan S. 6(5)(b) [as amended by Punjab Muslim Family Laws (Amendment) Act (XIII of 2015)]---Second marriage contracted by husband without permission of first wife---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of more than three years in filing the complaint---Consequential---Record showed that there was no denial of the fact that the petitioner had contracted marriage with Mst. KS, on 27.09.2015, during subsistence of the first marriage with the respondent (first wife), without getting the requisite permission---However, the respondent did not object to the second marriage of the petitioner for about 3½ years, as she filed the complaint on 05.04.2019, and by said date, she had already been divorced by the petitioner, which factum could be duly verified from the divorce deed, registration certificate and the certificate of effectiveness issued by the Arbitration Council, according to which the divorce was pronounced on 03.12.2018, whereas it was given effect on 13.03.2019---Such facts showed that mala fide on the part of respondent was manifestly oozing from the facts and circumstances of the case---Appeal against conviction was allowed in circumstances.
