MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday asked former Miss World Yukta Mookhey and her estranged husband Tuli to attempt to find a way to resolve their disputes. Justice Sadhna Jadhav met Mookhey and Nagpur-based businessman Tuli separately in her chamber on Monday evening and later held discussions with their lawyers.
"The judge suggested some ways for the couple to deal with their disputes," said a lawyer. The matter will be heard on October 14. Meanwhile, the HC has asked both the sides to sit and attempt to reconcile the differences.
The HC initiative came on an anticipatory bail application filed by Tuli, seeking protection from arrest in a criminal case lodged by Mookhey. In July, Mookhey had lodged an FIR accusing Tuli of committing unnatural sex and alleged that Tuli and her in-laws had subjected her to cruelty and criminal breach of trust.
The trial court had initially remarked that no case of harassment and cruelty under Section 498-A of the IPC had been made out. However, the HC did not agree to the view and said the trial judge did not seem to have considered the 15 non-cognizable offences, proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act and two other complaints filed by Mookhey.
Subsequently, on August 31, a trial court granted anticipatory bail to the Mookhey's parents and other relatives who had been named in the FIR, but rejected Tuli's plea for protection from arrest. Tuli then approached the high court for anticipatory bail.
