Holding
The Court may order the withdrawal of the deposited amount in the maiden name of the respondent despite the original petitioner’s non‑appearance.
Summary
The High Court, acting on its earlier order of 8 September 2025, had permitted Sneha Bhavesh Shetty (Respondent No.1) to withdraw Rs 6,60,000 with interest that had been deposited by the original petitioner, Bhavesh Mahabala Shetty. An interim application was filed seeking that the withdrawal be made in Respondent No.1’s maiden name, Sneha Bankim Joshi. The applicant’s counsel submitted that the original petitioner had been served, but the original petitioner did not appear. The Court, after considering the prayer clause of the interim application, allowed the withdrawal in the maiden name and directed the registry to make the payment. No order as to costs was made and the interim application was disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether the Court can order payment of the deposited amount in the maiden name of Respondent No.1
- Whether the absence of the original petitioner affects the grant of the interim relief
Subjects
- interim relief
- withdrawal of funds
- maiden name
- civil appellate jurisdiction
- court order
