COURT REPORTING

My report on the court room observations is from the Family Court, Bangalore.
Before attending the court, I consulted an advocate, as some cases such as
youth cases are not open to the public. Firstly, I attended to the Family court,
Bangalore-560027. Which is located at Siddaiah road, Sudhama Nagar,
Bangalore, Karnataka. On 18th of september,2023. At 01.00pm in the court
room no. 09, the matter was dealt by Hon’ble justice S.Nataraj There was a
divorce case going on. The layout of the courtroom was simple there was no
raised layers except for judges. Also, there was no presence of police.
The case I have heard was about suit for divorce under section 13(b) of Hindu
Marriage Act, 1955, which was proposed before the PRL JUDGE FAMILY
COURT,as I mentioned above. It was a case of FR-236/2023 and
M.C.No.239/2023 between the Petitioner 1 (sri. VARSHITH
NAMAKUDI) And Petitioner 2(PRATHUSHA NAGADI) and the advocate
for the petitioners isD.C. Natish , Advocate from D.C.N and Associates.
The case was a divorce petition that the said petitioner no. 1 and 2 are the
Husband and Wife. The marriage of the 2nd petitioner with the 1st petitioner
was solemnized on 23-12-2020 before at the Samskruthi banquet hall in the
presence of elders, well wishers and friends from both the petitioners family
as per the Hindu Customs and Rites and the said marriage is registered as
marriage number LAG-HM542-2019-2020 on 28.01.2021 at office of the
registrar of marriages, Agara, Bangalore . it was further said that the
petitioners lived together till 27-12-2021 as husband and wife and thereafter
on account of marital incompatibility differences developed between the
petitioners .
Later the petitioners found out that, there was lack of compatibility of mind
on several issues and they reached a stage where the petitioner cannot
reconcile themselves and in spite of their best efforts and lived separately from
27-12-2021. They come to a feeling that they cannot live together as a
husband and wife and no use to continue the marital tie and both of them
have consciously decided to get their marriage dissolved by seeking dissolution
of the marriage through mutual consent.

Later on, after the arguments of the petitioner:
 The 1st petitioner agreed to pay a sum of 9,45,000 (Nine Lakh
Fourty Five Thousand Rupees only) to the 2nd petitioner.
 The both petitioners agreed to close their joint Home Loan and Joint
Bank Account.
 The both parties should not interfere in each other’s personal or
professional lives hereafter.
 The petitioners should settle the jewellery and other belongings as
engagement rings, vehicles and other items given at the time of
marriage.
This was the information that I borrowed from the advocate, as the date of the
further proceeding was given to the future date.

CONCLUSION
As I have seen from my visit to the Family Court, I observed that proper facts
and clear information is required as the judges wants to examine the
documents and evidences which the petitioner submit before passing a
judgement. And also noticed that the judgement wont be given on the same
date of the arguments, but the case will be extended to a different date and
some times it can take years for passing of a judgement because they have to
take all the measures before coming to the conclusion.
In reference to legal skills, all the advocates were able to present these. Legal
skills refer to effective research, communication and organised skills. All the
parties seemed to be fully prepared. Another important observation was the
role of advocates, how they present the given case. It is important for an
advocate to be a good observer and a listener.
