The Bandra Family court granted divorce to a woman from her 40-year-old husband on the grounds of his philandering and abusive behaviour. The court also ordered permanent custody of the child to the mother and ‘permanently restrained’ the man from coming within one km near his wife and son.
Hearing the case, Judge SD Tulankar ordered, “I have no hesitation in accepting the unchallenged version of the petitioner. The permanent custody of [their son] is kept with the petitioner.”

The case
Haseena Khan (38) had married Priyam Patil (40), a resident of Worli on February 12, 1997 after a courtship that lasted over year. Two years into the marriage, Haseena delivered a son named Ritesh. Priyam worked with his father in a transport business but after his father gave up his partnership in the firm, Priyam was left with no job and that’s when trouble began to brew in paradise.
