Amritha
Suresh
Strongly
Responds
To
Bala's
Accusations
About
Daughter's
Custody:
The
ongoing
dispute
between
singer
Amritha
Suresh
and
actor
Bala
has
taken
a
new
turn
as
Amritha
responded
strongly
to
the
allegations
made
by
Bala
regarding
their
daughter
Avanthika.
Bala
accused
Amritha
of
withholding
their
daughter
from
him
and
levied
claims
of
extortion
and
a
falsified
POCSO
(Protection
of
Children
from
Sexual
Offences)
case
against
him.
Amritha,
along
with
her
legal
representatives,
promptly
addressed
these
accusations
through
a
video
statement.
Additionally,
she
released
the
terms
agreed
upon
during
their
divorce,
emphasising
the
terms
regarding
their
daughter's
custody.
Legal
Terms
Revealed
In
Custody
Dispute:
Amritha
Suresh
vs.
Actor
Bala
The
divorce,
settled
amicably
by
mutual
consent,
stipulated
no
public
accusations
from
either
party.
However,
Bala
allegedly
breached
this
agreement
by
repeatedly
accusing
Amritha
on
social
media.
As
per
the
divorce
terms,
Amritha
holds
custody
rights
until
their
daughter
reaches
18
years
of
age.
Bala
is
permitted
to
visit
the
child
at
the
Family
Court
on
second
Saturdays
from
10
a.m.
to
4
p.m.
Failure
to
attend
at
the
stipulated
time
forfeits
his
visitation
rights
for
that
month,
and
advance
notice
is
required
for
the
subsequent
month.
Amritha's
legal
team
highlighted
that
despite
Bala's
social
media
claims
of
wanting
to
see
his
daughter,
he
hasn't
formally
reached
out
to
Amritha
for
visitation.
They
revealed
that
Amritha
and
her
mother
brought
the
child
to
the
court
on
the
first
designated
Saturday
post-divorce,
but
Bala
did
not
attend
to
meet
their
daughter.
Regarding
financial
matters,
Amritha
received
Rs
25
lakhs
as
compensation,
and
Bala
has
legally
declared
no
financial
responsibility
towards
their
child's
upbringing,
education,
or
marriage.
He
also
affirmed
that
he
had
no
objections
to
Amritha
being
the
sole
parent.
Allegations
of
a
falsified
POCSO
case
against
Bala
were
refuted
by
Amritha's
legal
representatives,
emphasizing
that
no
such
legal
action
had
been
initiated
against
him.
In
response
to
these
events,
Amritha
has
granted
legal
permission
for
her
representatives
to
pursue
legal
action
should
Bala
violate
the
terms
of
their
agreement.
