The Supreme Court on Monday observed that the matrimonial dispute between Rippling co-founder Prasanna Sankar and his wife Dhivya Sashidhar needs to be sent for mediation..The Bench of Justice MM Sundresh and Justice Rajesh Bindal made the remark during the hearing of a petition moved by Sashidhar.Senior Advocate S Nagamuthu, appearing for Sashidar, submitted that Sankar had used objectionable language against her.“See just one thing. The kind of messages sent by husband. She is being called a prostitute etc..let there be restraint on both of them for social media posts,” he said..To this, Justice Sundresh said, “Yes, yes we saw..this is a matter for mediation.”Justice Bindal also expressed anguish over the harassment on social media..A thread on X (formerly Twitter) by the tech co-founder recently had gone viral. In the tweets, Sankar accused his wife of filing false cases in a bid to abduct their son and take him out of the country.Sankar claimed that the Tamil Nadu police were continuously harassing him and trying to take his son away from him owing to a false kidnapping complaint filed by his wife..Sankar had then approached the Madras High Court which on March 27 disposed of Sankaranarayanan's plea after it issued guidelines instructing the police to refrain from harassing anyone during investigations.Sashidhar has refuted her husband's claims and reportedly said that she filed the kidnapping complaint only to trace the whereabouts of their son.In her plea before the top court, she has alleged breach of privacy and "illegal retention" of her minor son by Sankar. She also accused him of disclosing her contact details on social media..Rippling co-founder Prasanna S moves Madras High Court alleging police harassing him at wife's behest.Senior Advocate S Nagamuthu with advocates Shivika Mehra, Riddhi Jad, Anupriya Srivastava, Ketan Paul, Kiran Gaur and Vanshika Dubey represented the petitioner.
