A Division Bench comprising Justice K.L. Manjunath and Justice A.V. Chandrashekara, before whom the petition came up for hearing, adjourned further hearing till December 20.
The petition said that the suit filed by Suja Jones Mazurier seeking a permanent injunction restraining him from removing the children from her custody and out of India, was dismissed by the family court on August 29 for non-prosecution. It was on this suit that the family court had initially restrained him from approaching his children and later permitted his mother to meet the children.
The rape case against him was registered after his wife complained in June 2012.
