Having considered the submission that is made by learned counsel for the petitioner and upon going through the entire material that is brought on record, this Court is of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of without notice to the respondent. Thus notice to respondent is dispensed with. 3. Being aggrieved by the order passed by the Family Court, Davanagere on I.A No.V in M.C. No.340/2023 dated 01.12.2025, this writ petition is filed. 4. It is not in dispute that the petitioner herein is the wife of the respondent. Respondent filed a petition under Section 13 (1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking a decree of divorce. During the dependency of proceedings in the said case, respondent moved an interlocutory application i.e., I.A No.V seeking the Court to permit him to produce the documents mentioned therein. The Court allowed the said application and - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4629 WP No. 386 of 2026 aggrieved by the same, respondent therein filed the present writ petition. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent through I.A No.V produced certain documents which contains the details of certain chats alleged to have been made by the petitioner with other persons. Learned counsel states that such chats if any made by the petitioner were prior to her marriage with the respondent and therefore they have no relevance to the case which is pending before the Family Court and therefore the Court ought to have dismissed the application filed by the respondent herein seeking permission to produce those documents. Learned counsel also states that the respondent did not furnish any information whatsoever in respect of source of such information he collected. 6. As per the version of the respondent, the petitioner had conversation with other persons which reveals her character and therefore to establish his version, he is required to produce the relevant documents. Only when the documents are put to scrutiny that too after deciding whether the documents produced can be considered to be evidence - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4629 WP No. 386 of 2026 admissible under the Provisions of Indian Evidence Act, the Court will take a decision regarding the genuineness of those documents and their reliability. The Court expressing the same opinion has allowed the petition filed by the respondent herein. Therefore, this Court is of the view that there is no infirmity whatsoever in the impugned order. 7. Hence, the writ petition stands dismissed. 8. As the writ petition is disposed of dispensing notice to respondent, Family Court to furnish a copy of this order to respondent. 9. Registry to forward copy of this order to Family Court, Davanagere forthwith. Sd/- (DR.CHILLAKUR SUMALATHA) JUDGE VS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 22
