Let the  case filed by you  be proceeded  further ,  if you have not filed the wrtten satement  agaisnt the  case of your wife then file it soon, if your wife has not filed the written statement against your divcorce petition,  request the court for  placing  your petition   to the stage of evidence , these are common things  and are simple and you might have engaged an advocate in the matter! ask him to be vigilanat,

how did u file for divorce on the ground of non-consummation of marriage ?

in fact u should have filed for annulment u/s 12.

if the opponant lawyer brings this fact to the notice of the court, ur petition may be dismissed.

experts pl. enlighten.

u filed for divorce.

wife filed RCR.

this means wife is going to contest your petition for divorce.

u have to have strong evidences of her cruelty to get divorce.

she may say that u used to behave improperly so that she was forced to live at her mothers.

Yes, both cases would run concurrently and both of you would need to adduce evidence in your favor.

In a civil case, if respondent does not submit reply within maximum of 3 months of service of summons/notice, his defence may be striked-off under rule 8 of CPC

It is 3 months or till the court has given the opportunity to file a reply.

ORDER V
ISSUE AND SERVICE OF SUMMONS

 

Issue of Summons

 

1 Summons

 

1[(1) When a suit has been duly instituted, a summons may issued to the defendant to appear and answer the claim and to file the writ statement of his defence, if any, within thirty days from the date of service summons on that defendant;

 

Provided that no such summons shall be issued when a defendant has appeal at the presentation of the plaint and admitted the plaintiff's claim :

 

Provided further that where the defendant fails to file the written statement wit! the said period of thirty days, he shall be allowed to file the same on such other days as may be specified by the Court for reasons to be recorded in writing, but whi shall not be later than ninety days from the date of service of summons.;]

 

 

Does this mean that - max. period granted to file WS = 90 days.

Shonee Kapoor (Legal Evangelist - TRIPAKSHA)     21 March 2012

No, or any other time specified by the court.
