Sri S Ramesh v. Smt Jyothi Ramesh
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; WP No. 33752 of 2025 (GM-FC); decision 15.07.2026; single judge P Sree Sudha. Husband's writ petition under Art.226/227 to quash Senior Civil Judge Kundapura order dated 05.07.2022 in Misc. No. 4/18 (dismissal for non-prosecution of his application to set aside ex parte divorce decree of 23.03.2018 in M.C.No.4/2017) dismissed; Family Court order confirmed; themes: non-prosecution, ex parte decree, set-aside application, failure to avail opportunity, confirmation of Family Court order. No precedents cited; no monetary amounts.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner-husband failed to evince interest even in the writ petition: notice was served but he did not appear and was set ex parte; it is not a case of no opportunity being given, but of his not availing the opportunity, and his set-aside application was therefore rightly dismissed by the Family Court.
