Bombay high court appoints advocate to mediate between Yukta Mookhey, Prince Tuli

The Bombay high court on Monday appointed a mediator in the matrimonial dispute case between former Miss World Yukta Mookhey and her estranged husband Prince Tuli. Senior advocate Rajiv Patil will be the mediator.

Patil would hear both the parties out and try to resolve the issue amicably and work towards ensuring a settlement between the warring couple. Appearing for Tuli, advocate Fiji Fredrick said, “The first hearing of the mediation will take place on Tuesday.” In a complaint to the police in July this year, Yukta accused her husband and in-laws of subjecting her to domestic violence and harassment. She also accused Tuli of unnatural sex.

Tuli and his family approached the session’s court seeking anticipatory bail. The court granted others bail while Tuli was given interim protection from arrest. 

Yukta approached the High Court, challenging the session’s court order. At an earlier hearing, the high court had suggested that Yukta and Tuli should sit together along with their lawyers and resolve the dispute. But this did not work out. Thus the court referred the matter for mediation.
