It is submitted that the learned Judge dismissed the petition without giving any reasoning and determining the six points raised by the petitioner in the petition. It is submitted by the petitioner that the learned Judge erred in dismissing the petition that the conclusions of the Courts of the Foreign Courts in judgment dated 16.05.2023 with findings of facts and conclusions of law dated 12.07.2023 passed by the District Court of 247^'' Judicial District, Harris County, State of Texas, U.S.A., in case No.2018-84640 and related judgment dated 26.03.2024 in case NO.14-23-00572-CV on the file of 14^^ Court of Appeals, State of Texas and the decision notice dated 30.08.2024 in case No.24-0386 on the file of the Supreme Court of State of Texas, U.S.A., are not binding on the Court.

It is submitted that the learned Judge simply dismissed the petition by holding that the Family Court has no jurisdiction to determine the various aspects raised by the petitioner regarding ? ' CRP.No.1372 of 2025 order of Texas Family Court and Appellate Courts. The petitioner is seeking a direction to remand the matter to the Trial Court with a direction to address and give a finding on each of the points raised. an 5. Heard the petitioner as party in person. Perused the material available on record. 6. The order passed in IA.No.254 of 2025 cannot be interfered by this Court as the petitioner sought determination of whether Foreign Court Judgments referred to in the petition were pronounced by the Court without jurisdiction, a finding on whether the said judgments are given on merits of the case or not, a finding as to whether Law of India was not recognized and an incorrect view of International Law was arrived at and other findings on the judgments of the Foreign Court. 7. The learned Judge has conclusively held that the Foreign Court judgment dated 16.05.2023 with findings of facts and conclusions of law dated 12.07.2023 passed by the District Court of 247^*^ Judicial District, Harris County, State of Texas, U.S.A., in case No.2018-84640 and related judgment dated 26.03.2024 in case NO.14-23-00572-CV on the file of 14**^ Court of Appeals, State of Texas and the decision notice dated 30.08.2024 in case CRP.No.1372 of 2025 No.24-0386 on the file of the Supreme Court of State of Texas, U.S.A., are not binding on the Family Courts in India. 8. This Conclusion of the learned District Judge while dismissing IA.No.254 of 2025 would suffice and reflects the correct legal position in India insofar as the recognition of Foreign Judgments in matrimonial disputes. It is a well settled preposition of law that divorce decree by a Foreign Court cannot be recognized by the Courts in India when one of the party had not submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court or consented to passing of a decree in the agreed manner. 9. This Court finds no grounds to interfere in the well-considered order passed by the Family Court - Cum - V Additional District Judge, Tirupati in IA.No.254 of 2025 in IA.No.1186 of 2018 in FCOP.No.110 of 2018.
