BEFORE THE HON’BLE COURT OF CIVIL JUDGE
SENIOR DIVISION, BELAPUR,
AT BELAPUR
PETITION NO. MA 179/2023
OLD NO. M.A 130/2016
Mr. Ravindranath Natarajan ) … Petitioner
V/S
Mrs. Deepa Ravindranath ) … Respondent
TITLE OF THE CAUSE:
Application for Mental Stability/ Disorder Test Of The
Respondent And File The Report In The Court
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOUR:
1. The Respondent above-named has been attending the
captioned matter since 2016 before the Hon’ble Court at
Thane, which was subsequently transferred to the Hon’ble
Court at Belapur in 2023.
2. The Petitioner has been filing numerous applications,
including those seeking Brain Mapping and warrants for the
children. Additionally, the Petitioner has threatened the
Respondent in the presence of the Court-appointed
Counsellor, stating that he would kill himself as well as the
children if the matter were to be decided against him or if the
court proceedings did not favour him.
3. The dispute has been initiated solely by the Petitioner, based
on baseless allegations that the Respondent is involved in an
extramarital affair with her colleague. The Petitioner has
failed to provide any proof or evidence to support these
allegations. The only instance referenced by the Petitioner is
that the Respondent received a gift from her colleague upon
the birth of their new-born baby. This incident has been
exaggerated by the Petitioner, and he has unjustly subjected
the Respondent to mental harassment and legal terror in an
attempt to compel her to prove her innocence. Such actions
reflect the Petitioner’s unhealthy mentality and irrational
behaviour.
4. The Petitioner’s conduct demonstrates signs of mental
instability and disorder, which is yet to be medically and
legally established. It is in the interest of justice that the
Petitioner’s mental stability be assessed by a qualified
medical practitioner. It is increasingly challenging for the
Respondent to attend court proceedings due to the
Petitioner’s erratic behaviour. Moreover, the Petitioner has
already authored a suicide note dated 16/07/2017, further
highlighting the urgent need for a mental health assessment.
5. In light of the foregoing circumstances, it is most respectfully
prayed before this Hon’ble Court as follows:
5.1Direct the Petitioner to cooperate with the Respondent for the
production of a comprehensive mental health report, specifically
addressing the Petitioner’s mental stability.
5.2Direct or recommend a qualified medical practitioner or mental
health expert who can evaluate the Petitioner’s mental stability
and furnish a detailed report to both the Respondent and this
Hon’ble Court. Alternatively, this Hon’ble Court may appoint
an appropriate expert or authority for the same purpose.
5.3Order that the court proceedings be stayed until the submission
of the Petitioner’s mental health report, after which the
proceedings may continue accordingly.
5.4Pass any other orders as this Hon’ble Court deems just, fair, and
proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case.
