JUSTICE CHILLAKUR SUMALATHA - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3746 WP No. 36729 of 2025 ORAL ORDER Heard Sri. Rohit M. Balekundri, the writ petitioner who appears as party in person. This writ petition is filed seeking following reliefs:- a) To pass an order that respondent No.1/ex-father-in-law and respondent No.2/ex- wife are responsible for desertion, cruelty, irretrievable break down of marriage, maintenance and child custody cases by considering "Annexure-C,E" and lower court records/exhibits. Respondent No.1 himself kept other respondents since from birth of child to pressurize petitioner to settle into respondent No.1/ex-father-in-law family as house-son-in-law condition refused to send them without any justifiable reasons to matrimony home to lead happy married life and maintain them financially which caused violation of fundamental rights. b) To pass an order respondent No.2/ex-wife not entitle for maintenance as per reasons recorded in the order dated: 04 January 2018 passed by Principal Judge Family Court, Bengaluru in Crl.Misc.111/2015 as marked as "Annexure-A" by considering that legal second wife, daughter to be maintained by petitioner. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3746 WP No. 36729 of 2025 c) To allow supportive maintenance Rs.3000/- per month payable by petitioner to respondent No.3 from the date of the petition till the child attains the age of majority due to forcefully keeping child within family of respondent No.1 for their family benefit as per marked "Annexure-E", also further complete father and son emotional relationship damage made by respondent No.1 and No.2 as per marked as "Annexure-D1 & D2". 2. Office raised an objection with regard to the maintainability of the writ petition. The matter is heard regarding its maintainability. 3. Petitioner who appears as party in person submits that disputes arose between him and his ex-wife due to the attitude of his ex-father-in-law. He submits that he filed a petition seeking a decree of divorce and his petition was allowed and thereafter he contacted another marriage and gave birth to a child. He submits that to extract money through his ex-wife, his ex-father-in-law started litigation. He also states that his ex-father-in-law tried to keep him at his house and when he refused, he kept his - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3746 WP No. 36729 of 2025 ex-wife away from him. He submits that as his fundamental rights were violated he filed the present writ petition. 4. The writ petition is not maintainable for more than one reason. This Court in a writ petition cannot decide whether the ex-father-in-law of the petitioner and his ex- wife are responsible for desertion, cruelty and irreparable breakdown of marriage. Thus, relief No. 1 as sought for cannot be granted. 5. Another relief that is sought for is to pass an order holding that his ex-wife is not entitled for maintenance. As per the version of the petitioner himself the Court of Principal Judge, Family Court, Bangalore through orders in Criminal Miscellaneous Case No. 111/2015 dated 04.01.2018 held that petitioner No.1 therein i.e., the ex- wife of the petitioner herein is not entitled for maintenance and aggrieved by the said order she filed a revision petition vide RPFC No.60/2018 and the same is pending before this Court. Thus, as of now the petitioner has got a - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3746 WP No. 36729 of 2025 favourable order from the trial Court. Again the relief sought for that is to order that his ex-wife is not entitled for any maintenance that too basing on same order i.e., the order dated 04.01.2018 in Criminal Miscellaneous Case No. 111/2015 cannot be entertained. 6. The writ petition for third relief in respect of supportive maintenance of Rs.3,000/- per month to be payable by the petitioner to respondent No.3 is also not maintainable as two RPFCs, one filed by the petitioner himself that is RPFC No.34/2018 and another filed by the ex-wife of the petitioner and the child RPFC No.60/2018 are pending. 7. Thus, viewed from any angle this writ petition is not maintainable. 8. Therefore, the writ petition stands dismissed. Sd/- (DR.CHILLAKUR SUMALATHA) JUDGE VS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 0
