Delhi court directs recovery of house's possession from ex-wife
New Delhi, A Delhi court has directed the recovery of possession of a house from an estranged wife as it violated a mutual divorce settlement.
Family court judge Savitri was hearing a plea by the husband, stating that his former wife had violated the settlement terms, where it had been agreed to pay ₹11 lakh as a full and final amount.
"Despite having received the full and final settlement amount of ₹11 lakh, she has totally violated the said agreement and even trespassed into or entered the first floor of the property," said advocate Manish Bhadauria in his plea.
In an order dated September 16, the court said, "She has tried to make out a case that she has already been residing on the first floor of the property. Had it been done so, it would have been clearly mentioned in the settlement."
It said that the woman tried to evoke the sympathy of the court by pleading that she was a divorcee and a helpless lady with the responsibilities of two school-going minor children.
