Bombay Times releases copy of Chitrangda Singh's divorce papers

On May 13, 2013, Bombay Times carried a story of how Chitrangda Singh had filed for divorce from her golfer husband, Jyoti Randhawa. We’d also said in that story, that the date set for the next hearing by Baljeet Singh, District Judge, Family Court, Gurgaon, was November 11, 2013 — the date they would be granted divorce, since it was divorce by mutual consent, and the stipulated time for being granted divorce in such a case was a minimum of six months.
Well, here’s putting all those rumours and, hopefully, all those denials, to rest. Since her lawyer, Osama Suhail, had told us on Friday that he “can neither deny nor confirm the divorce”, but it is “true that I represented Chitrangda Singh in her divorce case,” and since he had mentioned that the divorce record was in the public domain, we decided to do some legwork and get certified copies of the duo’s divorce decree from the court. The papers here attest the fact that the now excouple did indeed get divorced on the exact date that we had mentioned they would — November 11, 2013.
And even though they went on a denial bout to the media, Chitrangda and Jyotinder had, as early as May 2013, submitted a joint statement to the family court, in which they had stated that they have been living separately since February 2011. “We ourselves, as well as our friends,relations and well-wishers tried at their level best to bring about matrimonial union between us but the same could not be successful. Now there are no chances of our living together as husband and wife and therefore, we, out of our free will, have decided to take divorce by mutual consent,” reads the statement.

Chitrangda gets custody of her son Zorawar; Jyoti Randhawa gets visitation rights; two lawyer brothers represented their cases

Actress Chitrangda Singh and golfer Jyoti Randhawa have always denied there was an issue in their marriage, talk of which has been around for years. They did the same last May, when we broke the story of them filing for divorce by mutual consent at the Gurgaon Family Court, and ever since, they have been denying the divorce rumours even more strongly.
But now, it turns out that just as we had mentioned in our story last May, Randhawa and Chitrangda, who had been married for 12 years, and have a son, Zorawar, filed for divorce by mutual consent in May 2013 — the case was heard by district judge Baljit Singh, who advised that the duo sort out their differences and fixed a hearing for November 11, 2013. And on that date, as it happens with cases of divorce by mutual consent, since a period of six months had elapsed post the filing for divorce, certain issues were ironed out, and a divorce granted.
Osama Suhail, the lawyer who represented Chitrangda Singh, told us, “While I have already mentioned that I can neither deny nor confirm the divorce, it is true that I represented Chitrangda Singh in her divorce case, and Mr Randhawa’s lawyer was Mr Samama. They applied for divorce in May last year. Six months later, as it happens with such cases, they again appeared before the judge and a divorce was granted.”
When asked about the settlement, he added, “It was more of an internal thing, and client confidentiality is a term I take seriously, and so, I cannot divulge further details.” On being asked whether it was an out-of-court settlement, he replied, “Yes, it was an out-of-court settlement. There is no mention of any financial arrangement in the court papers at all. But yes, in November, certain issues were settled. Visitation rights, for one — it was decided that their son, Zorawar, will remain with the mother, with the father getting visitation rights.” Suhail also mentioned that the divorce record was in the public domain.
