Naveen Kumar Sharma v. Smt. Jyoti Sharma and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court set aside an order refusing to set aside an ex-parte maintenance order, holding that the trial court committed an illegality by failing to provide the applicant, a person of unsound mind, a sufficient opportunity to defend his case and adduce evidence.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order and the ex-parte maintenance order dated 23/12/2005 are set aside. The case is remanded to the trial court for a fresh hearing with an opportunity to adduce evidence.
