IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.641 of 2007 VIJAY BHANU GUPTA & ANR Versus PANKAJ KUMAR GUPTA ----------- 2. 29.9.2008 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the petitioners. This Court would not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order which has been passed by a Family Court. The Family Court under law has a right to ask for appearance of any of the two party husband or wife or both to find out their approach in the context of dispute and/or possibility of exploring avenue for amicable settlement. It is altogether a different thing that a party after appearance may not agree for such settlement. That however would not render the order of family court directing appearance of such a party to be illegal or without jurisdiction. That being so, petitioner no.2 is hereby directed to appear before the family court and the court will thereafter on the same day record her statement in Chambers in presence of the opposite party and/or his counsel and thereafter proceed in accordance with law. With the aforementioned direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.)
