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.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
