Hi All, Getting frustrated with the indian legal system in my divorce case which is contenstent one. Got married in Jun-2005 at UP. I work in Bangalore and lived in Bangalore post marriage. having 9 yr old daughter as well. I have filed divorce and child custody case at Bangalore family court in Apr-2013. Wife than filed TP at Apex court to transfer both the cases to UP. Sep-2014 Apex court ordered to try the cases at neutral location Hyderabad. Both the cases are being tried at Hyderabad family court and pending. summary of case- apr-2013 - Filed divorce and child custody cases at Bangalore family court. Sep-2014 - Apex court transferred both the cases to Hyderabad family court. Feb-2015 - Hearing started at HYD court with mediation order. Wife was present on the first date and than didnt turn up deliberately until Mar-2016 to the court. Please note there are two times mediation took place already 1st time with Bangalore family oucrt order and 2nd time during pendency of TP by the Apex court order. both times its failed. Jan-2016 - Ex parte order passed in my favour and court proceeded with ex parte evidence and statements etc mar-2016 - It was posted for divorce decree order but wife turned up and submitted exparte setting aside application stating she was not aware about the case stages. This is coUPlete lie and i can prove that in the court with evidence. Now her exparte setting aside application is pending but Judge got retired Mar-2016. Unfortunately till now there is no judge appointed and case is stuck. There was an option to reach out to In-charge court but due to dispute between bar counsel and in-charge court judge this matter is not taken up by them. No information on when new judge will be appointed its been almost a year. Questions- 1. can I approach High court for any relief ? like speedy trial or ? Even if HC order for speedy trial can they really help in posting my case to any available bench ? 2. Can high court take over from family court and pursue the case? 3. Can I bypass high court and approach apex court seeking some relief in the matter? 4. Any other suggestion that will work in my situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
