WARANGAL: With great persistence and determination, a Warangal resident who was bought out by his single mother and suffering from multiple hardships studied to train as a lawyer and successfully managed to secure his mother’s maintenance from her ex-husband of 30 years earlier this year since their divorce in 1992.
While the court set alimony of 30,000 rupees a month, lawyer Sharath Babu also managed to obtain 20 lakh rupees in compensation for his mother through a domestic violence claim filed with the court. Babu said he became a lawyer so his mother could regain her respect in society.
Babu’s mother Sulochana from Sannur village in Raiparthy Mandal and Pamu Somaiah from Warangal town married in 1971 and had two children, Babu and his brother Raja Ravikiran. However, due to family quarrels, quarrels between the couple and divorce often arose.
Since then, Sulochana and her two sons lived in their parents’ house in Sannur.
Sulochana, an illiterate woman, had previously applied to the court for alimony and received an affirmative decision in 1997 after having held the post for five years. However, she neglected to complete other formalities, which is why Somaiah did not pay his ex-wife alimony or money to care for their children.
Babu, the elder of the two siblings, said he was aware of his parents’ divorce and the resulting financial woes. His attempt to obtain a court decision as a middle school student failed. However, this only strengthened his resolve to pursue law school.
Due to his family’s financial difficulties, Babu worked for a private company as the family breadwinner and also managed to save money to pursue his dream.
In 2014, Sharath secured admission to a five-year law degree and completed his bar degree in 2019. He began his practice and after two years took over his mother’s case as the first independent attorney. He obtained the court’s 1992 verdict and filed a lawsuit, winning the case this year.
