Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh has stepped forward to support Jyoti Singh in her legal battle for alimony against Pawan Singh. Speaking to news agencies, Akshara emphasized that seeking financial maintenance is a legal and moral right for a woman after a marriage ends. She mentioned that the amount being discussed is small compared to the emotional trauma involved in such disputes.
What are the main financial demands and claims in this case?
The legal dispute in the Ara Family Court involves several figures and claims regarding the final settlement. Jyoti Singh has stood firm on her requirement for a stable future after being separated from her husband for several years. The case has drawn significant attention due to the high profile of the people involved.
- Formal Demand: Jyoti Singh has requested 10 crore rupees as a final settlement in court.
- Mediation Discussions: Earlier reports mentioned a possible 3 crore rupees payment and a flat in Noida.
- Akshara’s Statement: She claimed that even 100 crore rupees would be less for the mental and emotional distress caused.
- Legal Grounds: The case is filed under Section 125 of the CrPC and sections 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
Recent court updates and the next hearing date
The court proceedings have seen some delays recently due to the health of the actor. During the hearings held around February 11 and 12, Pawan Singh was unable to attend the session. His legal team informed the court that he was suffering from high blood pressure. Jyoti Singh was present and shared her emotional appeal with the judge directly. The court has now set February 24, 2026, as the next date for the hearing. The judge has also asked both sides to try and reach a middle ground through mediation before a final divorce decree is considered by the court.
