Yo Yo Honey Singh assures Delhi court he will not sell his UAE villa, court vacates status quo order
Singer Yo Yo Honey Singh, after recording his statement at a Delhi Court on Friday, assured the court that he will not create any third party rights on his UAE property. The court vacated the status quo order issued on September 15.
This is in relation to a complaint filed against the Bollywood singer by his wife, Shalini Talwar, under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act. Her plea stated, “Honey Singh and others also criminally intimidated the applicant (wife), caused her extreme duress and torture... As such the applicant is entitled to a compensation of ₹20 crore from the respondents.”
In a fresh application, Talwar had submitted that Singh receives payments for his shows and endorsements abroad in his overseas bank accounts. And that for this, he has incorporated several companies abroad and has also bought several properties abroad. The application stated that Singh has executed a General Power of Attorney dated November 19, 2019, duly registered in UAE, in favour of Talwar, giving her rights and control over all his movable and immovable assets situated in UAE.
The counsel for Singh assured that they will not sell the identified villa and will also file all documents pertaining to his companies registered abroad by the next date of hearing. The matter is now listed for further arguments on September 28.
Talwar’s counsel had urged the court to pass a protection order under section 18 of PWDV Act and directed the singer to pay compensation under the provision of the Act and to release the stridhan and other material. Talwar has also sought assistance of the protection officers and the police for execution of the orders as passed in her favour and against the respondents.
