Husband is faciing divorce and 498a,.

Does wife have libery to making change in original peition for divorce or 498a.

Can she bring new charges, which is not mention earlier, considering the fact oral testmoy by wife and her parents is good enough to get husband and his family in jail. they would be no end of allegation and everything cannot be proved by husband.

is their provision which enable to know the charges and witness statement before and which resitict changes by other side.

Modification of Pleadings can be done on the ground that the same facts were not in knowledge of the plaintiff in civil cases.

FIR is sacrosanct and can not be modified.

You would get to know the charges and witness statements when the chargesheet is filed.

Though there is nothing which stops a witness to take the flight of fancy and state facts which are not in pleading/ connected to the case. These are called improvments, which are not taken cognizance by the courts and are not material to the case connected.
