Vide the impugned order, the learned Family Court has dismissed the joint petition filed by the parties under Section 13(B)(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as infructuous after taking into account the fact that the respondent did not want dissolution of the marriage by mutual consent.

¶2After some arguments, learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant, instead of pressing the present appeal, will pursue his remedies to seek recovery of the appellant's jewellery items which, he contends, are in the possession of the respondent.
