Pertinently she had moved an application before the Court at Singapore to seek maintenance. Therefore, the Court cannot accept her claim that she would be prejudiced in any manner on account of her being the wife in the matrimonial dispute before a Singapore Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Appellant had also moved an application challenging territorial jurisdiction of the Court at Singapore, which application was rejected.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Decision<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, the High Court held that the Family Court had rightly rejected the application preferred by the appellant under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 CPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bench reiterated that parties being permanent resident of Singapore, residing there since 2012, should sort out their matrimonial dispute before the local Court in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to the above, Court expressed that Courts in India cannot be said to be forums that would be convenient to either of the parties. <em>Enforcement of orders passed by the Courts in India- when the parties; their children, and; their assets\/properties are situated in Singapore, would be a practical impossibility.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On finding no merit in the appeal, it was dismissed.
