UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
1. This matter was taken up for hearing in the first session.
2. After hearing the matter for some time, we felt that we should talk to the parties personally and in such circumstances, in the second session, we took up this matter in the Committee Room.
3. Signature Not Verified We first had a talk with Shubhank, thereafter with his father Digitally signed by VISHAL ANAND Mr. Kailash Chandra Sharma and later with Shilpa and her mother. Date: 2026.01.24 12:52:18 IST Reason:
4. After talking to the parties for about an hour, we believe that the marriage can still be saved. A little understanding on both the sides is required.
25. All through out the interaction, we kept reminding the parties that they have a minor son who is 6 years of age today.
6. This is a case where the parties fell in love with each other. They started knowing each other 7 years before they decided to get married. They were blessed with a son. Today, we have impressed upon Shubhank to forget the past, bury all the differences and talk to his wife Shilpa and his in-laws.
7. Same way, we have also impressed upon Shilpa and her mother, who are present before us, to give one last chance and try to save the marriage only and only in the interest of Avyaansh. We can understand that both the sides are hurt in their own way. Shilpa has her own story to narrate, whereas Shubhank has also his own story to narrate. However, remembering the past is definitely going to be a disaster in so far as marriage is concerned and the upbringing of Avyaansh is concerned.
8. In such circumstances, referred to above, we have impressed upon the parties to keep talking with each other. Shilpa will share her mobile number with Shubhank and Shubhank will start talking to Shilpa and Avyaansh through video conferencing. If Shilpa wants to share a zoom link or any other video link, Shilpa can talk through that link.
9. The whole purpose of this arrangement is to reduce the tenion and bitterness between the parties, to develop confidence and thereby a ray of hope for both to reconcile.
10 We request Shilpa and her parents to cooperate in giving a meaningful effort to what we have said or rather to the arrangement that we have worked out for the parties. We also request the parents of Shubhank to speak to the parents of Shilpa and Avyaansh.
11. Today, we have made ourselves very clear to Shubhank that whoever may be at fault, it is upto him now to proceed in the right direction and make all endeavours to save the marriage, create that trust once again and start living together as one happy family.
312. Post this matter for further hearing on 11-3-2026 at 3.30 p.m. in the Committee Room.
