Karisma,
Sunjay a step towards peace
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur haven’t yet
kissed and made up, but they are sure smoking the peace
pipe. The couple appear to be reaching an understanding
for an interim truce, if only to disentangle themselves
from an acrimonious court battle over their infant
child.
Under this understanding, Sunjay is expected to sign his
daughter Samaira’s passport application which will
allow the baby to travel abroad with her mother. In
return, Karisma is expected to give Sunjay limited
access to Samaira. While this arrangement will not
amount to a reconciliation, it will certainly lower the
heat in their fight.
The indications of a thaw were available on Thursday
when the advocates for both parties came for the
scheduled hearing of the case relating to Samaira’s
passport, but only to seek more time from the court
while stating that their clients were willing to sort
out their differences amicably.
An oral submission was made on behalf of the couple
before Justice Mukul Mudgal, who on the last date of
hearing had advised Sunjay and Karisma to settle the
dispute out of court. Justice Mudgal had asked them to
weed out discord for the sake of their fivemonth-old
daughter.
The case was fixed for a hearing on Thursday. Before the
matter could be taken up, lawyers appeared in the court
and requested for more time. Both sides claimed
negotiations were on for a settlement. Sources involved
in the negotiations said that it was likely that the
couple would be able to arrive at an agreement.
This would be limited in nature as the larger issue of
the marital discord between Sunjay and Karisma would
remain to be addressed separately.
“None of the two sides were willing to argue before
the court as the latter had advised us. As per the
judge’s advice the couple and their respective
families seem to be settling for a compromise and more
time was asked for,’’ said an advocate.
Justice Mudgal adjourned the matter to September 23. The
court is seized of a petition filed by Sunjay Kapur, who
has challenged Karisma’s decision to take their
daughter abroad.
He has also requested the court to declare the
daughter’s passport, also prepared by Karisma from the
Mumbai passport office, illegal.
On August 30, Justice Mudgal had suggested that the
couple attempt to reach a compromise. Although Kapur’s
lawyer had some reservations on the ground that past
attempts to settle the discord did not succeed, he later
agreed.
Karisma’s advocate had said the case related to the
issue of a passport and was not a petition seeking
dissolution of a marriage or on the couple’s marital
discord. |
