The Jalore family court has set aside a three‑year‑old unilateral divorce decree against former BJP MLA Amrita Meghwal, ordering a fresh hearing.
The family court in Jalore, Rajasthan, has rescinded a divorce decree that was issued three years ago in the case of former BJP legislator Amrita Meghwal and BJP SC Morcha district president Babulal Meghwal. The court ruled that Amrita Meghwal was not afforded a proper opportunity to present her side before the earlier decree was passed.
According to the court order, the earlier one‑sided decree is nullified, and the matter will be reheard with both parties given equal chance to argue. The decision underscores procedural fairness in family law matters, even when high‑profile political figures are involved.
Legal experts note that the reversal does not comment on the merits of the divorce itself but merely addresses the lack of due process. The next hearing date has not been disclosed, and the court will schedule it in accordance with standard procedural timelines.
The development comes amid heightened public interest, as Amrita Meghwal previously served as a member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Both parties remain represented by counsel, and the case will now proceed under the standard family court framework.
The court’s intervention reflects the judiciary’s role in ensuring that legal rights are protected irrespective of political stature, and it may set a precedent for similar cases where procedural lapses are alleged.
