The Ballia Family Court has levied a fine of 3,000 rupees against Bhojpuri cinema star Pawan Singh for non-appearance during court proceedings. The penalty was imposed as the actor failed to present himself before the bench during scheduled hearings.
Jyoti Singh, Pawan Singh's wife, has been pursuing both divorce and maintenance claims in the court for the past four years. Following the latest court order, she reiterated her desire for a swift resolution to the protracted legal battle.
The case represents one of several high-profile matrimonial disputes involving regional cinema personalities in Uttar Pradesh. Court-imposed penalties for non-attendance are commonly used by Indian family courts to ensure regular participation of parties in legal proceedings.
Jyoti Singh's statement indicates her intention to reach a resolution through judicial intervention, while the fine underscores the court's commitment to enforcing attendance requirements in matrimonial cases. The matter remains pending before the Ballia bench for further hearings.
