Bhojpuri actor and BJP MLC Pawan Singh and his wife, Jyoti Singh, are involved in an ongoing legal dispute regarding divorce and alimony in a Ballia family court. The proceedings, which include an application for interim maintenance filed in April 2022, have continued for approximately four years.

During court hearings in October 2026, both parties faced fines for procedural issues. Pawan Singh was fined for failing to appear at hearings, with his legal counsel citing his mother’s sudden illness and surgery as the reason for his absence. Jyoti Singh also faced fines for delays in presenting evidence.
