Legal battle Intensifies: Munde Disputes Marriage Claim
In a notable development, Dhananjay Munde has appealed the Bandra family court’s decision, escalating the legal dispute to the sessions court, with proceedings taking place in Mazgaon today. The initial ruling by the Bandra court recognized Karuna Sharma as Munde’s wife and mandated a monthly alimony payment of ₹2 lakh. Munde’s legal team is contesting this decision, filing a petition challenging the family court’s findings.
Munde’s Stance: Readiness to Support Children, Denial of Marriage
During the hearing, Dhananjay Munde asserted his willingness to provide for his children, stating, I am ready to take responsibility for both children.
However, he firmly denied being married to Karuna Sharma.This forms the core of his appeal, challenging the very foundation of the family court’s judgment.
Defense Argues Lack of conclusive Marriage evidence
Sally Sawant, Munde’s lawyer, presented a compelling argument, asserting that Karuna Sharma failed to provide irrefutable evidence of a valid marriage. Sawant stated that even the presented violation and acceptance letter
did not constitute sufficient proof of a marital bond. The defense contends that the evidence presented by Sharma does not adequately establish a marital relationship, thereby questioning the legitimacy of the family court’s ruling.
In response to the defense’s arguments, Karuna Sharma’s lawyer emphasized the importance of the submitted documents, asserting that they bring a reality of their married relationship.
The legal team maintains that the presented evidence, taken in its entirety, substantiates the claim of a valid marriage, directly contradicting Munde’s denial.
Counter-Allegations: Claims of Fabricated Documents
Adding another layer of complexity to the case, Dhananjay Munde’s legal team has accused Karuna Sharma of submitting fabricated documents.Sally Sawant claimed that the alleged falsification was only discovered after the documents were presented to the lower court. This serious allegation could considerably impact the proceedings and potentially undermine Sharma’s claims.
