its applicable to each and every petition under this act.

U make a ground that this HMA case is pending in the court for many months (XX). Provide citations that various HCs have ordered many times that these cases be decided as early as possible, preferably within 6 moths. So allow my application for expedious trial.

Remember:

1) Court will allow it only if there is considerable delay has happened in ur particular case

2) delay is not voluntary & from ur side

3) courts work load wil have impact

4) mediation is still going on, so plz wait for its out come

meanwhile how much time has passed since u filed divorce? contested divorce is otherwise very difficult 2 get

the grounds u mentioned do not weigh in the eyes of law

Hi Rajiv Sir,

I have filed the case in month of May 2013 in Family court, but she went to HC for Transfer case in her place but by Luck HC gave order in my favour.

No hearing has been done still she didn't reply  and my case is in mediation centre but she not attend the date. I already waste 7 month thats why I want speedy trial (21 b)

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Case should move out from mediation 1st, only then u may ask for speedly trial.

Contested divorce especially when sought by husband is very very difficult.

7 month delay is quite a short one in the HMA cases

Rest is ur own luck, u may try

21b is applicable to EACH & EVERY petition and appeal.

6 months for trial

3 months for appeal.


no grounds are specified in the act, 

but its better if u make out some.

Hi 

I filed my divorce case in August 2008, in 2013 June it came for arguments. Since then arguments are not happening. Can I appeal for speedy trial here.

Experts advise please

shree, 

as i already told u in another thread, 

submit ur written arguments and ask for permission to argue verbally also.


the respondent wife CAN NOT submit her argument unless and until Petitioner Husband submits his arguments.

 

filing 21b application at such belated stage is not advised..

Thank Amit, but can we also submit arguments in writeen and argue verbally. Only lawyer can do this. So is there a provision that we also can do ourselves without lawyer for divorce cases. Just to know information I am asking. We are going to use our lawyer only as we don't know much about law.

YES - YES - YES - 

 

if u have filed VP of ur lawyer on record, then the court wont allow YOU to argue - they will insist for the lawyer.

right.
