Hi,
i would like to know about the meaning of "Unclaimed Summon". i am divorcee and after my divorce my wife filed for maintenance 125 to Family court. and Family court ordered that no need to pay maintenance because she had 2 master degrees and able to earn money, and there is no reason to left my house. Also i got divorce on same reason that there is no reason to left my house.
Now i am not staying in my native place and nobody was there. For job, i am staying in other state. But i heard that she had again filed another case to Civil court and the summon had returned back as "unclaimed" and judgement had given as ex-party. i have to pay maintenance now.
please suggest me:
1. at this situation, what i can do against this judgement?
2. where to file?
please guide me
Regards, Bittu.

Contact your lawyer and obtain certified copy of the orders. Try to get the ex-party orders set aside.

Yes, you can get the matter reinstated and decided on merits. An unclaimed summons would be taken as duly served.

Thanks for your reply. What I need to do for that? Shall I go to High Court or need to file at same court?
