Honey Singh Domestic Violence Case: Delhi Court Restrains Singer From Creating Third Party Rights On Assets In UAE

A Delhi Court on Wednesday restrained Bollywood Singer and Actor Honey Singh from creating any Third party rights in the immovable and movable assets owned by him or through his companies in UAE.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tania Singh issued notice on an application preferred by Singh's wife, Shalini Talwar, and directed Singh to file the documents of his companies registered abroad. The Court also said that previous interim orders restraining him from disposing off his jointly owned property, stridhan owned by his wife, etc., will continue in the matter.

The matter is now listed for filing of reply and arguments on September 17. 

Earlier, the Court had allowed Talwar to visit her marital home in order to take her belongings.

The applicant wife had approached the Court under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 alleging that Singh and his family members were brash and violent towards her and that Singh has a history of criminal intimidation, hurt, brutal violence towards people who do not give into his demands.

Singh had appeared before the Tis Hazari Court with his lawyers.

The wife had alleged that she was living under a constant fear as the respondents have threatened her of physical harm.

"The Respondent No. 1, 2, 3 & 4 colluded and mentally, physically, emotionally, economically, sexually assaulted the Applicant. The Respondents also criminally intimidated the Applicant, caused her extreme duress and torture. The Applicant has suffered immense pain and hurt from the respondents throughout the marriage," the plea read.

Further alleging that Singh and his family members have indulged in cruelty and tortured her immensely, Talwar says that she is entitled to a compensation from them.

"The Respondent No. 1 showed no shame in attacking, browbeating, manhandling, cheating, being disloyal and causing irreparable harm to the woman he was supposed to cherish and protect," the plea read further.

In view of this, Talwar has sought a direction to Singh to pay her rent of Rs. 5 lacs per month. She also seeks to restrain the Respondents from disposing off or selling the matrimonial home or her stridhan.

Additionally, an interim compensation of Rs.10 crores is also sought from Singh and his family.

Ms. Shalini Talwar was represented by Mr. Sandeep Kapur Advocate, Senior Partner, Karanjawala & Company alongwith Ms. Apoorva Pandey and Mr. GG Kashyap, Advocates.
