The atmosphere in the Family Court, which is at the center of high-profile matrimonial disputes and legal battles, became extremely heated today when the hearing of the divorce case between Chief Minister Vijay and his wife Sangeeta began. The eyes of the entire state were fixed on whether the Chief Minister himself would appear before the court today. As soon as the court proceedings began, the Chief Minister’s team of lawyers presented an application before the judge saying, ‘Judge sir, Chief Minister Vijay cannot be personally present in the court today due to his busy administrative commitments and important meetings.’ There was silence in the court room as soon as this argument was made, but the stand taken by Sangeeta’s lawyer immediately after this changed the course of the entire debate.
Sangeeta’s lawyer’s sharp retort on Chief Minister’s absence and argument of law On hearing that Chief Minister Vijay was not coming to the court, Sangeeta’s lawyer immediately stood up from his seat and expressed strong objection to this argument. Sangeeta’s legal advisor, while arguing before the judge, said that every citizen is equal within the court, even if he is the Chief Minister of the state. In marital and family disputes, presence of both parties is mandatory so that efforts for counseling and compromise can be taken forward. Sangeeta’s lawyer alleged that an attempt is being made to deliberately prolong the hearing of the case by citing VIP status, due to which his client Sangeeta is being subjected to mental and legal torture.
What happened inside the courtroom today in the divorce case? During this heated debate held in a closed room, legal maneuvers continued between the two sides for a long time. Chief Minister Vijay’s legal team argued that by law any citizen has the right to be exempted from personal presence while performing his mandatory administrative duties and they were ready to connect through video conferencing. At the same time, Sangeeta’s side emphasized that personal presence is extremely necessary for some important legal processes and signing of documents. According to sources present inside the court room, Sangeeta herself was present in the court today and she appeared quite emotional while presenting her views.
What decision did the judge give after listening to the arguments of the lawyers and the suspense of the next date After listening to the long and argument-filled arguments of both the parties, the Honorable Judge of the Family Court took a very balanced but strict stance in this matter. The judge said that the process of justice cannot be delayed because of any position or status. However, keeping in mind the Chief Minister’s mandatory commitments today, the court gave him conditional exemption from personal appearance for today, but also issued a strict instruction. The court has ordered the Chief Minister’s lawyers that Chief Minister Vijay will have to appear before the court on the next scheduled date so that the case can be disposed of on time. After this order, as soon as they came out of the court premises, the lawyers of both the sides were surrounded by media persons, but both the sides refused to comment in detail.
