Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife tells HC she, her 2 kids have been thrown out of home
Mumbai, Mar 3: Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's estranged wife on Friday informed the Bombay High Court that she and her two minor kids have been thrown out of her mother-in-law's residence in suburban Mumbai and they have no financial support.
Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, appearing for the actor's wife, told a bench of Justices A S Gadkari and P D Naik that the situation between the estranged couple was hostile.
The bench was hearing a habeas corpus (produce the person) petition filed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui seeking a direction to his estranged wife to produce his children before the court.
The 48-year-old actor had claimed that his wife had brought the children from Dubai to India without informing him and the change of location was affecting their education as they were not attending school.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife had been living with the children at her mother-in-law's residence in Mumbai.
Last week, the high court had suggested the couple to amicably resolve issues related to the children and sought to know from the wife about their education.
On Friday, advocate Siddiquee told the court that the actor's wife and her two children -- a 12-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son -- have been thrown out of the home with just Rs 81 in her possession.
The three are now living with a relative, he said, adding that while the boy was too young to say anything, the girl has categorically refused to meet her father.
The court directed advocate Siddiquee to put all these details in an affidavit and posted the matter for further hearing after a week.

Telangana CM urges Amit Shah to increase sanctioned strength of IPS officers in state
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Wednesday night and urged him to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state in view of its growing administrative and security needs.
The two leaders also discussed the recent surrender of several senior Maoist leaders before the Telangana Police and other issues.
"During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the issue of Maoist surrenders and their rehabilitation. The chief minister informed Shah that significant improvements in policing have taken place in Telangana over the past two years," an official release here said.
Highlighting that 591 Maoists have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream of society during this period, the chief minister said the state government was providing them compensation and rehabilitation assistance as per the rules.
He requested the Union home minister to extend financial support from the central government for development works in the backward regions of the state.
Reddy also urged Shah to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state from 83 to 105 in line with the state's growing administrative and security needs, the statement said.
The first cadre review after the formation of Telangana was conducted in 2016, while the next review, due in 2021, was delayed and finally carried out in 2025. Even then, only seven additional IPS officers were allocated to the state, the chief minister informed Shah and requested that the third cadre review be conducted in 2026 as per the schedule.
Reddy explained that Telangana, like the rest of the country, is facing several modern challenges, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and other emerging security threats.
He highlighted the reorganisation of the Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri Police Commissionerates, the proposed formation of the Future City Commissionerate and the rapidly growing population in Hyderabad to underline the increasing administrative requirements of the state.
