NEW DELHI: (Aug 4) The Delhi High Court has outlined the need to adopt a “sensitive and pragmatic” approach in matrimonial cases involving financial dependency and concealment allegations as it allowed a woman’s plea to summon witnesses to support her claims against the estranged husband.
The July 31 order of Justice Ravinder Dudeja came on a plea for summoning witnesses of a woman locked in a matrimonial battle with her estranged husband.
“Matrimonial litigation, particularly where financial dependency and concealment are alleged, demands a sensitive and pragmatic approach. It is not uncommon that when there are matrimonial differences between the husband and wife, many times husbands tend to suppress their real income and resort to transferring their assets to avoid payment of legitimate dues to their wives,” the court said.
