Now she want her PR ID back from her husband before signing on mutual divorce papers. The husband has already lost it and moreover, the card was not renewed as in time, it is expired in the eye of law. The PR ID HAS NOT EFFECT. But the girl is very firm on her claim to get back her PR ID.

You mean to say she wanted to retain PR status even after dissolution of marriage? If that is so, she can reach the Singapore counsulate in India and give her representation stating all the facts, that she had been living seperately from her husband and that her husband did not renew her PR. But as per PR rules she must have entered Singapore atleast once in 5 years block, did she do that? you said she is living seperately for 10 years and filing this petition in India.
