4. The husband of the accused has tendered an affidavit unconditionally apologising for having transferred the subject property in his name. He states that the accused is suffering from ill-health and is thus, not moving outside. He also undertakes that he shall not transfer the subject property to any third party or violate the order passed by the court.
5. After hearing the parties, we consider it apposite to accept the said apology. The affidavit filed by the husband of the accused Sri N. Shamanna, son of the Narayanappa is taken on record. We further direct that the accused as well as her husband Sri N.Shamanna are interdicted from transferring, encumbering or
