Mahakumbh Fame Woman Gets Relief From MP High Court in Date of Birth Dispute
The court said the woman was not heard before her birth date was changed and ordered a fresh decision on her father’s application.
- On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed a Maheshwar Chief Municipal Officer's order that altered the birth date of Monalisa Bhonsle, citing violations of natural justice principles.
- The dispute stems from an interfaith marriage in March 2026, after which Bhonsle's family allegedly sought to prove she was a minor by filing an application to change her records.
- Justice Gajendra Singh ruled the CMO failed to inform Bhonsle about the application, violating 'audi alteram partem,' and noted no school record exists to definitively resolve her actual date of birth.
- An FIR was previously filed against Bhonsle's husband alleging child marriage and kidnapping based on altered records, which the couple claimed linked their union to alleged 'love jihad.'
- The court directed the Maheshwar CMO to decide the father's application afresh, affording the petitioner an effective hearing, following arguments from Senior Advocate Vivek Krishna Tankha that the process was unfair.
