Kulkarni v. Upasani
In 1990, Neelam Kulkarni, the wife of Avinash Kulkarni,[1] took their infant son, Soumitra Kulkarni, from their home in Orange County, California, and flew to her parents’ home in India. Avinash was unaware of Neelam’s plans, and did not consent to Soumitra’s removal from the United States. More than 19 years later, Avinash sued several family members and acquaintances, accusing them of having conspired with Neelam to abduct Soumitra. At trial, the court granted nonsuit motions of Sunila Kulkarni and Madhavi Nerurkar. A jury found that Meera Upasani and Mohan Upasani had no knowledge that Neelam planned to leave the United States, and therefore found in favor of Meera and Mohan and against Avinash. Avinash’s arguments on appeal are without merit, and we therefore affirm the judgment.
