Dear Members,
Case: Wife lodges false complaint case against Husband & In-laws 3 years back. Matter has been put on stay by High court (UP).
Wife lodges divorce case in family court(East UP) appealing for divorce on cruelty. Husbands submits counterclaim u/s 23 HMA and agrees to divorce if wife withdraws the criminal cases against him. Wife submits a written reply that divorce cannot be conditional.Judge has summoned both parties to appear in person.
What next?
The husband resides in a different state & doesnot know much about the city. Moreover wife has threatened of dire consequences if husband appears in the court. Husband is confused but wants to attend the hearing.
1. What if the other party humiliates husband or gets physical in/out court premises?
2. What will the judge ask? If the opposite party asks husband to share personal information (income etc) in front of judge, how should husband react?
3. The other party will try to provoke subject but are there any do & donts that subject should follow & avoid contempt of court.
Expert advise is urgently required.
