She filed a police complaint against respondent on 2nd jan 2022 for waiting outside Child’s residence as per Court order dated 19th June 2019. It is also shared by the child to Respondent that, few gifts that Respondent gives to Child suddenly disappears from house. Due to unhealthy food and unhealthy family environment, child has become Obese, weighing approx. 40kg+ at age of 9 which is outcome of severe depression. Child is also shaky and shy to mix with other Kids as well very insecured in her behaviour and action publicly. Respondent therefore seeks immediate Physical and mental health examination of the child and take corrective actions if required. b. It is agreed in point 5 and declared that the Petitioner and the Respondent are both responsible for the upkeep and the welfare of the minor daughter. Respondent has time and again shared with Petitioner that Child is losing bonding and emotion with Respondent but it was never acknowledged and was avoided and even the respondent has also requested for a psychological test of the daughter but the same was denied by the petitioner.

Respondent would like to submit that Petitioner stays at Vapi, which is 180km from Mumbai and it takes 8 hours by road for return trip to Vapi and for last 11 months, every Sunday he was forced to visit Vapi to meet Child and sometime the time given was 1 hour. All request from Respondent to meet up mid-way or bring the child to Mumbai was denied by Petitioner and in case Respondent was unable to travel to Vapi, the same time of 2 hours per week was also not allocated through virtual modes. The Sunday Zoom call also happened but for max of 30 mins due to excuse of dinner time/Homework etc. The Respondent would like to place a request to meet his daughter for 2 Sundays in Mumbai and for other 2 Sundays access for the meetup can be kept at Vapi and also ensure total 2 hours per week is available with Child, physically or virtually, to create and rebuild the lost bond. d. It is agreed in point 7 that Respondent clears the arrears of maintenance amount of 2 lacs by 1st March, 2021, Alimony on or before 17th May 2021 and the sale of the flat to the Petitioner is completed on or before May, 2021. Respondent got buyer, named Sachin, at 1.3cr in Feb 2021 introduced to Petitioner and all terms was handled by Petitioner with Buyer and based on that deal proceeding, Respondent left the property and moved to rented apt along with his parents in April 2021 with a rent of 35k pm but Petitioner backed out of the deal in May unilaterally and after that didn’t pay any EMI for empty property while Respondent is staying paying rent. As Respondent couldn’t get any money from flat sell and couldn’t pay Petitioner for no fault of his but Petitioner stopped executing Point 8 for Access while was supposed to start from May 2021. Respondent is grieving that Petitioner is intentionally blocking his due from flat sell by rejecting buyers while asking for her due. Respondent has done best from his end and has spent Rs 6000 to register in Magicbricks and 99acres website to find suitable buyer in December 2021. After few buyers visited the flat organized and arranged by Respondent, one Buyer Mr Shubham Maskar from Thane principally agreed to buy at 1.28cr and broker Mr Bhupendra Saini was involved in the deal. Respondent proposed to Petitioner for her consent and ask to adjust 4.5L towards EMI and Society maintenance charges that respondent have to share extra now while clearing House loan after leaving the flat as Petitioner rejected final deal in April 2021, Petitioner again asked for Due and ignored/stopped discussion to solve the house sell matter mutually that is causing huge financial loss to Respondent. e. It is agreed in Point 8 between the parties that Respondent shall avail day access total (15) fifteen days during vacation, he shall avail (10) ten days during summer vacation access before school reopen for next session. He shall avail two days during Diwali vacation before school reopens and he shall also avail access of (03) three days during winter vacation before school reopens.

This to be co-ordinated with the Petitioner as it is her working day. The Petitioner shall drop the minor daughter and pick up the minor daughter from mutually agreed location. Upon the minor daughter attains the age of 10 years the Respondent shall avail the vacation access shall continue as mentioned above (10) ten days of summer vacation access before school reopen for next session, (02) two days during Diwali before school reopens and (03) days during winter vacation before school reopens including Night stay with consent and at the comfort of the child. In the event the Respondent takes her outside of her current location, he shall provide all the details to the Petitioner. During the above access period, if the minor daughter wishes to speak to the Petitioner the Respondent shall not object to the same. The Respondent has to ensure that the child’s Paternal Grandmother is with the child all the time to help her with any personal needs during the visitation. The Respondent shall inform in (02) two weeks advance through email, if he is not availing the vacation access. All these Access was denied by the Petitioner from May 2021 with the excuse that she didn’t get her money while the House sell deal with Sachin was denied by Petitioner for some unknown reason and to deprive the respondent for his financial gain from House sell. f. It is agreed between the parties that the Petitioner shall share important school related information with Respondent from time to time. The Respondent shall proactively participate in helping the minor daughter in completing her studies during his access time. As petitioner always forces respondent to meet the child at shopping mall or restaurant at Vapi, he is not able to help his Child with the studies. Petitioner only shares School starting dates and exam dates with Respondent but never introduced him to her study, routine and school work. Respondent proactively tries to create some educational content for Child and teaches on Sunday with no help or support or feedback from Petitioner and in some Sundays, that time was cut down to 15 mins with excuse of Dinner, Homework and others. Petitioner intentionally kept the Zoom time at 8pm on Sunday so that not much time is available to Child to interact with Respondent and its very close to bed time for next school day. Respondent asked Petitioner many times to have small Zoom access calls during the week but all was ignored and rejected that has taken the child away from Respondent. g. It is agreed in point 29 between the parties that the Respondent shall clear the abovementioned dues and loan towards the Flat situated at Dazzle 402, Mahavir Classik, Opp. L&T Gate No. 5, Saki-Vihar Road, Powai – 400072 till the date of Sale of the said Property. It is further agreed that the Petitioner and the Respondent both will look for a buyer, they shall finalise whoever gets the highest bidder. The buyer shall pay the Sale amount equally to the Petitioner and the Respondent. Initial money will be 50% from buyer to both Petitioner and Respondent. The Brokerage, not to exceed 1% of the deal amount as per standard brokerage, will be shared equally on formal receipt. No other charges are to be imposed on the Petitioner. This deal pertains to the Flat plus the Garage space of above-mentioned property that is currently co- owned by the Petitioner and Respondent. The Petitioner is not claiming any of her personal belongings which are in the matrimonial home. As Petitioner rejected the Offer from Sachin on her own and Respondent informed Petitioner of leaving the House and paying rent and also flat price also going down due to Lockdown, the above term needs to be mutually agreed upon h. It is agreed and declared in point 36 that both the parties shall not file any proceedings against each other and/or their respective family members directly and/or indirectly, either civil or criminal, regarding the subject matter of this petition and/or the marital disputes between them in view of the amicable settlement. it was clearly agreed that no further police complaint / criminal proceedings but Petitioner, her mother and brother filed Police complaint in Vapi PS on 2nd January 2022 while the Respondent was waiting outside Petitioner’s House from 3:30pm to 6:30pm as per earlier Court Order passed on 19th June 2019 as petitioner stopped communicating over email from 1st January 2022 and blocked Respondent from all the sources of communication. Then the Respondent was then called to Vapi PS on 9th January 2022 for statement and the Respondent was harassed by the police. Though the Respondent met Petitioner in Police station in Vapi on 9th January 2022 and asked to meet the Child, Petitioner denied access and stopped all communication over email or phone or through messages. Respondent waited outside Petitioner’s residence from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on 9th January 2022 and without any response from Petitioner, came back to Mumbai and had spent almost 10 hrs going to Vapi, meeting police and waiting outside Petitioner’s residence but without even seeing the Child. Later on, Petitioner informed that Child joined Zoom call at 8pm but it was not possible to attend as Respondent was driving back to Mumbai at night but the same time wasn’t adjusted on next week and access was again given on next Sunday i.e 16th jan 2022. i. It is also agreed in Point 15 that Respondent would have proper Access on Child’s Birthday and also be able to interact with Respondent on Father’s Day while none of them was complied from Petitioner’s side. Respondent further states that on his Child’s Birthday which was on 29th November 2021, Respondent celebrated her Birthday on 28th Nov at Vapi again not in Mumbai. He had to travel with all his family members and arrange Birthday party in Vapi and also asked Petitioner to have a Zoom call on actual Birthday i.e. 29th Nov, Monday to wish daughter which was not responded and allowed by Petitioner. Same way on Father’s Day, Child wasn’t allowed to talk to Respondent with the excuse that Alimony wasn’t paid to Petitioner with no fault of respondent as House sell deal was cancelled by Petitioner. 5. The Respondent seeks relief for amending the consent terms filed on 17th of February 2021 as petitioner is not complying, using the terms to her advantage to unsure lesser Access and bonding with Child and harassing Respondent in Vapi at her native place and therefore, Respondent seeks the terms and conditions of Consent term should be revised to ensure wellbeing of Child in this critical part of her Childhood.
