ORAL ORDER
Notice of Motion No. 532 of 2018 is taken out by the plaintiff to
interview defendant No.3 in the Judge's Chamber to examine her
mental stability. It is also prayed by the plaintiff that the defendant

Order NM 532-2018 S 71-2018 :2:
No.3 be referred to the Mental Health Review Board, constituted under
The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 with direction to submit report to the
Court.
2. While Notice of Motion No.532 of 2018 was argued the
Court was of the opinion that in view Order XXXII Rule 15 of Code of
Civil Procedure, inherent powers to civil court and as per ratio laid
down by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Somnath V/s.
Tipanna Ramchandra Jannu (AIR 1973 BOMBAY 276), the
defendant No.3, who is mother of the plaintiff and defendant No.1, is
required to be called for being questioned by the court. Therefore, by
the consent of plaintiff and defendant No.3, the defendant No.3 was
alone called in the Judge's Chamber of Court Room No.1. The sole
intention behind calling defendant No.3 in the Judge's Chamber was
that, she should not feel embrassing as the dispute is mainly between
her two sons. Both sons were given option to remain present, if they
desires, during the interview. However, they both agreed for the inquiry
to be conducted in the Chamber lonely and solely with defendant No.3.
Therefore, the defendant No.3 from 2.00 p.m. to around 2.30 to 2.40
p.m. was interviewed and was questioned. While she was being
interviewed, I formed an opinion that she is required to be called for
one or two occasion again for the purpose of inquiry and further
questioning her. However, without commenting right now about her
ability and capacity to defend herself in the suit, I am of the view that
further inquiry has to be conducted under Order XXXII Rule 15 of CPC
and defendant No.3 is also required to be examined by the medical
experts.
3. It is being informed to me that no Board is constituted by

the purpose of inquiry under Order XXXII Rule 15 of CPC, and for the
purpose of satisfaction of court about the fact as to whether defendant
No.3 is really capable of protecting her interest and defend her in the
suit, the Dean of Sir J.J. Hospital, Byculla, Bombay can be directed to
constitute such Board/Committee of experts for the purpose of
examination of defendant No.3 of her mental status and for filing report
or opinion of the Committee/ Board of Experts. Therefore, following
order is passed.
