Bombay High Court judge gets poetic during a matrimonial case hearing

The Bombay High Court, in an order dealing with matrimonial dispute between an estranged couple, turned to poetry while hearing the case.

Justice Bharati Dangare, while deciding on four petitions, filed by the husband and wife challenging the family court orders quoted verses of Emily Dickinson's "For every Bird a nest".

He said, "The present group of petitions are a reflection of the pertinent and peculiar issues arising in a marital discord, in a metropolitan city, where both the spouses strive together to build a nest and nurture it for the new born."

The estranged couple, both professionally successful are fighting over the rights of a home which was purchased by the couple in Wadala. The woman sought a restraining order from the court so that the husband and his family will not be able to enter the house and create nuisance. While, the husband sought appointment of a court commissioner to oversee the partition of the house.

The high court after going through the family court orders held that the application by the husband cannot be allowed, if allowed then it would mean final relief, to him pending hearing of the petitions in the family court.
