A Family Court here has again issued summons to Barsa Swony Choudhury to appear before it on May 11 as she failed to make appearance on May 2. After admitting the divorce petition filed by Rajashree Mohanty, son of former Minister Raghunath Mohanty, the Family Court had issued summons to his estranged wife Barsa Swony to appear before it on May 2. However, she failed to appear for unknown reasons.
Rajashree Mohanty had filed a divorce petition before the Family Court on March 24 citing mental torture to him and his family members, complete desertion for the last two years and nonperformance of duties legally binding on her as a wife as the grounds for seeking legal separation from Barsa. “We would decide on our next course of action after Barsa Swony Choudhury appears before the court as per its orders,” Rajashree’s counsel Harekrushna Dash said. On the other hand, Barsa Swony has also filed cases of domestic violence and alimony against her husband.
