BENGALURU: Two teenagers' deposition that their mother had a relationship with a driver and behaved inappropriately with him in front of them ensured her legal battle against dissolution of her marriage is a lost cause. The teens said they did not want to live with her as they feared for their future as well as their lives.Evidence by the girl and her brother, pieced together with circumstances narrated by their father Naresh (name changed) and coupled with evidence by other witnesses, showed the woman was cruel and responsible for spoiling her marital life, a division bench of Justices PB Bajanthri and Nataraj Rangaswamy observed. It dismissed the appeal filed by Kamala (name changed) challenging the dissolution of her marriage.On October 11, 2013, a court in Ankola ruled in Naresh's favour based on the testimony of his two children and additional evidence submitted by some family friends. The same was challenged by Kamala and the high court dismissed her plea, again citing the children's strong evidence.The teens had said how their mother would take them to an ice cream parlour along with her lover, made them sit 10-15 feet away and asked them not to look at them. According to the siblings, the woman and her lover would kiss and hug in front of them.Naresh and Kamala tied the knot in Ankola in December 1993. He claimed Kamala insisted they live in her parents' house and refused to stay with him till then. To assuage his wife, he moved into a rented house at Kumta. According to Naresh, one day his wife poured kerosene on him while he was sleeping, and he narrowly escaped. The family then shifted to another village. He claimed Kamala bought a mobile phone in 2005 and spent a lot of time talking to somebody. When he confronted her, Kamala said she was talking to her nephews and nieces.On October 6, 2007, he happened to read a message on her phone - "Goodnight darling, I love U." When Naresh questioned her Kamala lost her temper. Soon, Naresh learnt about her boyfriend from his children.
