A District Court here on Tuesday upheld the order passed by the local SDJM Court in June in which the lower court had asked cine star Varsha Priyadarshini to vacate her husband’s parental house in the city. On a plea preferred by film star-turned-politician Anubhav Mohanty, the SDJM Court had asked the Kendrapada MP’s estranged wife Varsha to vacate her husband’s parental house at Nandi Sahi within two months.
Varsha had challenged the SDJM Court order in the Additional District Judge (ADJ) Court, which slapped an interim stay on the operation of the SDJM Court order. In its final order on Tuesday, the ADJ Court vacated the interim stay and also directed Varsha to vacate the parental house of Anubhav by following the order passed by the SDJM Court, informed Anubhav’s advocate Alok Mohapatra.
The SDJM Court had also directed Anubhav to pay a sum of Rs
30,000 every month to Varsha for her accommodation elsewhere in the city. Anubhav deposited the amount every month in Varsha’s bank account.
Acting upon an application of Anubhav, the SDJM Court observed that the old parents and some other relatives of Anubhav are now staying away from their house due to prevailing animosity between the husband and wife.
Married in 2014, the star couple is now fighting a fierce legal battle for their separation. Following a High Court order, Varsha was staying at Anubhav’s house occupying a single room under a police guard party.
