No appearance by the Respondent
JUDGMENT
The Petitioner seeks a decree of nullity of marriage on the ground thform of marriage gone throuthrough by her with the Respondent
on 1 April 1997 was void by virtue of the fact that the Respondent was still married to one Sarita Prasad.
The Petitioner was the only witness. vidence, and in particularcular the documentary evidence was very poorly presented. The only
orl document tend tendered was the Petitioner’s Certificate of Marriage. All the other ents are poptocopies (some some of them very
unclear) which were tendered on the basis that they were received by the Petitioner from the ndent “who wants a divorce”. Aptly
no effort at all wasl was made to obtain certifiedified true copies of these documents from the Ontario Court House which issued
the originals. This is mosatisfactory andy and I had carefully to consider whether I should allow their production on this basis,
particularly in a suit of this nature.
I do however accept the Petitioner’dence including the receipt by her from the Respondent of t of the documents tendered. I also
a the evidence give given by her that she never cohabited with the Respondent.
