The Bombay High Court set aside a Family Court order restraining Poonam Bhagat Shroff from entering her husband, businessman Jaidev Shroff's Khar house, yesterday. Jaidev's lawyer then got a stay on the order, allowing him a period to challenge it.
In April, Bhagat was restrained from entering the home until the disposal of their divorce case, by the Bandra Family Court. After lodging an FIR against Poonam, Jaidev had also moved an application at the Family Court, which is hearing his divorce petition, in which he said he fears for his and his children's lives and in order to protect them, he does not want Poonam to enter their Khar home. The Family Court allowed the application.
Poonam has filed a divorce case against Shroff, who is the director of United Phosphorous Limited, a Rs 2,000-crore company. She had approached HC challenging the same order in the month of June.
Speaking to mid-day, Jaidev's lawyer Sameer Tapia, senior partner at ALMT legal, and lawyer Zufiqar Memon said, "The Bombay High Court has set aside the Family Court order with a stay on it for four weeks to challenge it at Supreme Court."
