Respected Sir/Madam Iam working as Manager in Karnataka State Govt. Since I have serious family issues I applied for VRS. But my wife opposed it and filed OS in family court under Code of civil procedure order 7 of rule 1 & 2 by mentioning me and my office as defendant 1 & 2 praying that direct concerned to not to accept VRS and not to disburse any service benefits. Court has granted temperay injuction order as requested by wife. But as per my knowledge family court has no jurisdiction and power in service matters and it has no power to interfere in my VRS matter. To do job or not is my right. No one can direct me to do job. pl advise me to comeout from this situation. Thanks in advance

Quick Summary

A government manager applied for Voluntary Retirement (VRS) but his wife filed a civil suit in family court, obtaining a temporary injunction to prevent the VRS and disbursement of benefits. The manager believes the family court lacks jurisdiction in service matters. Other users suggest the family court indeed has no jurisdiction and the injunction should be challenged, potentially in the High Court. The discussion highlights the separation of service matters from family disputes and the importance of providing complete case details for accurate legal advice.

Voluntary retirement is out of jurisdiction of the civil court per-se. Prima-facie your wife had no locus standie.

in divorce matter her claim on your earning is restricted to her maintenance which is not effected much even if your income is converted form salary to pension(+ interest on terminal due)

more detailed views can be expressed on perusal of the order, which may (or may not) be contradictory to above views.

You should challenge the injunction.

Yes, Family Court has no jurisdiction in the matter and the orders/directions issued are non-est in Law. You may approach the High Court under Article 227.

Mr. Athi Vishal HD,

There are hundreds of Courts in Bangalore. What prevents you from posting the complete and specific information.

Further, the facts posted are less than convincing to any person familiar court matters. You are further complicating the issues by playing hide and seek with the and also, postng misleading information.

It is better to post full word instead of using SMS language, where you are saving nothing, but it is properly not understood wt u sy.

You have already engaged / paid an intelligent, able and competent lawyer since 2013 as stated by you, s/he is well aware about facts and circumstances of the case(s), hence why do you need second opinion (on the basis of limited facts) except the fact it is available free of cost ?

Respected Vashista Sir due to financial crisis i my self leading cases

P. Venu (Expert) 15 March 2023
"due to financial crisis i my self leading cases ........"

We, through the LCI, Have been trying to be helpful to such persons. However, we are helpless if relevant, correct and complete facts are posted.

Anyhow, I am not inclined to offer any further assistance.
