The petitioner is the husband who is stated to have entered into a compromise with his spouse, respondent no. 3 in a matrimonial case. Thereafter for alleged non-compliance of the compromise the respondent has filed an application before the Bihar State Women Commission. Learned counsel for the petitioner has sought to raise issues with regard to jurisdiction of the Commission in the matter. The Court at this stage is not persuaded to interfere as the communication of the Commission dated 8.10.2010 states that the petitioner was not appearing either personally or through representative notwithstanding the fact that the 2 respondent was appearing. The application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner appears before the Commission and raises his defence including that of jurisdiction, the Women Commission shall proceed to adjudicate the matter in accordance with the statutory provisions and requirements. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
