Evelyn Nesamani A/P Samuel Gunalan Peter v Lionel Sushil A/L Edward
This case involves a divorce petition between Evelyn Nesamani A/P Samuel Gunalan Peter (Petitioner) and Lionel Sushil A/L Edward (Respondent). The Respondent applied to cite the Petitioner for contempt for breaching a court order dated 30 November 2017, which granted him access to their two children. The Petitioner had relocated to New Zealand with the children without the Respondent's knowledge, denied him access, and failed to attend court hearings. The court found the Petitioner in contempt and ordered her to return the children by 31 January 2023, failing which a custodial sentence would be imposed. The application was allowed, and no costs were ordered.
