Thank you for respoinding.No dispute regarding jurisdiction of family Court to adjudicate. The objection is because the property is not within the jurisdiction of the Court; in fact far away in another State,whether the Court can grant permission as stipulated under Section 59 (2) and (3) of Mental Health Act?
