Karisma Kapoor files a domestic violence case against Sunjay ‘to protect her kids’
Karisma Kapoor's fresh unilateral petition against her estranged husband, Sunjay Kapur, has given the case a new twist.
While the couple is currently fighting a divorce case and custody of their two kids, Samaira and Kiaan, the actress approached the Khar police on Friday and filed a complaint of mental harassment against her husband Sunjay and mother-in-law Rani Kapur. She recorded her statement and registered an FIR under the Dowry Section — 498 (A): husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty — and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
Later, she also filed a fresh case of domestic violence with the metropolitan magistrate in Bandra Family Court. Her lawyer Sanjog Parab says, "This is a unilateral case that comes under Section 19 in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. This case is completely separate from the ongoing divorce case." He adds, "It would be wrong to take the term 'domestic violence' in its literal sense. In this case, the kids are the primary concern. She wants to protect her children, so she has taken this step." According to this petition, the kids cannot be taken outside the jurisdiction of Mumbai, till the next hearing, which will take place on March 17.
Another point that needs to be noted is that the actress hasn't asked for money for herself. "We have put in a demand of `10 lakh a month for the children and not for Karisma's personal use. In fact, for one-and-a-half-years, Sunjay was paying some amount for the kids which he suddenly stopped," the lawyer says. Though his legal counsel refused to comment, a source close to the business tycoon told us that they were expecting the fresh petition. "The divorce by mutual petition fell through because the couple wasn't agreeing on the terms of the welfare trust that Sunjay was setting up for his kids. Though Karisma hasn't demanded alimony or maintenance for herself yet, her demand for `10 lakh equates to the same. Sunjay has stopped meting out monthly monetary compensation to Karisma for a while, and in the last few months, she has been supporting the kids herself."
One of the other ad-interim reliefs sought by the actress in the petition is that she should not be asked to vacate the apartment in Khar. A source close to Sunjay adds, "In the months to follow, the possible points the couple will battle over are primarily the lush Khar flat that was previously used by them. The flat is in the name of Sunjay's father Dr Surinder Kapur. Karisma might want to keep the flat for herself and the children, which could trigger fresh arguments. Since Karisma has spoken about 'character assassination' in her petition and also claimed that Sunjay is 'residing with another woman and her child', she, too, would be made answerable about her rumoured relationship with a businessman. Her case for custody is stronger since she is a woman and is presumed to take care of her children better. But Sunjay's side states that she doesn't allow him to meet the kids. The parties will agree on some kind of arrangement to get equal time with the children. Since the matter is subjudice, that's all we can divulge for now."
Earlier this month, Karisma opposed her husband's application for the interim custody of their kids. The argument over custody will be heard on March 3, when the actress is also expected to file her reply to Sunjay's fresh divorce petition.
Karisma Kapoor files dowry harassment case against Sanjay Kapur
It seems that the divorce battle between Karisma Kapoor and her estranged husband Sanjay Kapur is turning uglier by the day. After Sanjay claimed that the actress married him for money, the mother of two has now registered an FIR against him and his mother Rani Sunder Kapur at the Khar Police Station (Mumbai) alleging them of mental harassment, as reported by Mid-Day.
On Karisma's statement, an FIR (no 98/16) has been filed under the dowry Section - 498(A): husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
Some time back, the estranged couple had withdrawn their consent to split and the petition of divorce on the grounds of mutual consent. The Delhi based businessman has also filed an application at the Supreme Court reportedly seeking a transfer of the case to New Delhi on the grounds of threat to his life from underworld don Ravi Pujara.
Karisma Kapoor alleges that her estranged husband lives with another woman and her child!
A couple of months after actress Karisma Kapoor's estranged husband Sunjay Kapur alleged that she had married him for money, Karisma on Friday hit back with a domestic violence case. She said that Kapur had caused her immense mental agony by "living with another woman and her child" for the last two years in the couple's Delhi house.
The actress, accompanied by her lawyer Sanjog Parab, filed the case before a metropolitan magistrate's court, pleading for the custody of her children - daughter Samaira and son Kiaan - till the pendency of the petition, which was granted.
In her petition, Karisma alleged that Kapur, a Delhi-based industrialist, had "threatened" her during one of the hearings at the family court. "I'm not here for his money," Karisma told the court through her lawyer, even as her petition said that she has been a victim of "mental harassment".
Alleging that Kapur had, on one of the hearings, told her that "he could do anything", Karisma said in her petition that he was "residing with another woman in Delhi with that woman's child while still being married to her (Karisma)". She further said that their divorce through mutual consent, filed last year, did not come through as Kapur had "backed out".
Karisma said that she hasn't asked for money from Kapur for herself, but has demanded more than Rs 10 lakh a month for the couple's children. One of the ad-interim reliefs sought by Karisma is that she should not be dispossessed of the couple's apartment in Khar, as the property was in the name of Kapur's father, who died without leaving behind a will.
In November, Kapur had filed a fresh divorce petition, through lawyers Aman and Priya Hingorani, saying Karisma had married him for money, and that she had failed not only as a wife and daughter-in-law, but also as a mother. Kapur claimed that Karisma used their children as "pawns", and didn't let his family meet them frequently in her bid to claim more money. He said when he refused to accept her conditions, she blocked him from meeting their children.
Kapur, who heads Sona Koyo Steering Systems Ltd, also claimed that Karisma chose her career over him and stayed in Mumbai "despite his pleading for her to join him in Delhi". As their marriage fell apart, she tried to portray him as a substance abuser, an alcoholic and a cheating husband. She used her PR machinery to show him and his family in poor light even as she had an affair, Kapur's petition said.
