PETITIONER: Harish Mohan Singhania, S/o Late Mohan Lal Singhania, Age 58 years, R/o 14, Singhania House, Civil Lines, Jaipur – 302 006, Rajasthan, India.
RESPONDENT: Deepa Singhania (née Kapoor), W/o Harish Mohan Singhania, Age 54 years, R/o 14, Singhania House, Civil Lines, Jaipur – 302 006, Rajasthan, India.
1. The Petitioner and Respondent were married on 18 November 1993 at Jaipur, under Hindu rites and ceremonies. The marriage has been duly registered. One child was born of this union: Arjun Harish Singhania, born 4 July 1998, currently 26 years of age.
2. The Petitioner submits that the marriage has irretrievably broken down and that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. The Petitioner has, over several years, maintained a separate household and family in Dubai, UAE, of which the Respondent was not informed. The Petitioner accepts that this constitutes conduct the Respondent would reasonably find intolerable.
3. The Petitioner further submits that he has, in the interest of full disclosure and legal clarity, amended his testamentary documents and company succession arrangements to reflect the existence of his UAE family. Copies of the relevant amendments are filed alongside this petition.
4. The Petitioner proposes the following as basis for settlement: (a) Transfer of the matrimonial home at Civil Lines, Jaipur in full to the Respondent; (b) A one-time financial settlement of ₹4.5 crore; (c) Continued maintenance of ₹1.2 lakh per month for the Respondent's lifetime; (d) No claim by either party on the other's separately held assets post-decree.
5. The Petitioner requests that the court proceed expeditiously given his health circumstances, copies of which are filed in confidence with the court (medical reference: FEH-MED-2025-HS).
