The Karnataka High Court recently overturned a family court judgement that mandated a wife pay her husband's $1.65 lakh travel costs from the USA to Bengaluru if she wanted to cross-examine him in their divorce case.
A stipulation like that would effectively deny the petitioner's ability to cross-examine her spouse in a crucial case when her marriage was at risk, Justice Krishna S Dixit said. According to the single judge, courts of justice cannot impose on a party a requirement that they would not be able to fulfil.
