SC refuses to vacate stay on divorce proceedings

J. Venkatesan


Petition filed by actor Prashant against his wife


New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to vacate the order of interim stay on all further proceedings in the divorce petition filed by actor Prashant against his wife Grahalakshmi before a Family Court in Chennai.

A Bench of Justice B.N. Agrawal and Justice G.S. Singhvi had stayed the proceedings until further orders on a special leave petition filed by Grahalakshmi against a Madras High Court judgment directing the Family Court to dispose of the divorce petition filed by actor Prasanth at an early date or before June-end.

In her SLP, Ms. Grahalakshmi had said, “The present case highlights the trauma and torture undergone by the petitioner in her matrimonial home, being driven out by the respondent [Prashant], who is a film actor in the Tamil film industry, when she was barely two months pregnant.”

She had said that the March 20 High Court order had caused immense miscarriage of justice in as much as a connected matrimonial petition filed by Narayanan Venu Prasad against her had been relegated to be background and the one filed by Mr. Prashant was being sought to be taken up for disposal on or before June.
