Summary: In a recent court decision, Judge M. Jothiraman ruled that Poongkodi's case against her husband, Naveen Kumar, will be moved to a more convenient court in Alandur. Let's dive into the details!
Poongkodi asked to move her case from the local court in Thirumangalam, Madurai, to the local court in Alandur. Why? Because traveling to Thirumangalam was difficult for her. She's living in Chennai, looking for a job, and relies on her parents for help. Her lawyer, M. Vidya, argued that the travel was too much trouble.
Naveen Kumar had his own point of view. His lawyer, M. Kirubalani, claimed that Poongkodi wanted to live on her own and was causing problems. He said she only lived with Naveen's family for a few months and then wanted to leave. Naveen believed Poongkodi was just after his money and wasn't interested in making up.
"The petitioner's only intention is to take money from the respondent and not to allow him to live a peaceful life."
After listening to both sides, Judge M. Jothiraman decided to grant Poongkodi's request. The court recognized the difficulties she faced and agreed that the case should be moved to Alandur for her convenience. The judge emphasized the importance of protecting women's rights without using the law to trouble husbands.
"The intention of the legislator is to safeguard the interest and rights of the women, who are being subjected to harassment and cruelty."
With the case now moved to Alandur, Poongkodi can attend the hearings without the stress of long travels. The court hopes this change will ensure a fair process for both parties.
