Advocate Prashant Diwan, who appeared for the parents, said the complainant took an exparte divorce from her estranged husband, and the conditions for foreign travel were unwarranted.

In its order dated May 5, the court said, "Counsel for the complainant has not disputed the divorce, copy of which is filed on record. Therefore, of all the reliefs claimed by the petitioner (wife) in the domestic violence petition, after the decree of divorce effective from May 3, 2025, except for the relief of compensation for the loss suffered, no other relief survives in the petition."
