So while filing case for divorce mentioning this fact will be of any benefit or not.

I agree with Mr. Khaleel. This fact can be one of the grounds for filing for divorce.

it cannot be called as cruelty but misrepresentation / cheating / concealment

Is there any documentary proof to establish the fact as to which Gothra an individual belongs to? I am afraid not.

Gotras and caste system is now outdated . bride party may have also mistaken about it. Please consider the surroundings of social status of both parties and decide the matter in a democratinc way in view of legal and the constitutional provisions.

This is not a round of cruelty as the same is not done after the solemnisation of marriage.

I just wanted suggestion as my spouse is neither ready to come back nor for Mutual Consent Divorce and they are just forcing me to file Divorce so they get maintenance and alimoney.

I am sincerely trying for re-conciliation and involved their relatives and friends also but they are adamant.

I am planning for pre-litigation mediation and if they do not turn up there then filing of divorce.

Will this wrong information about caste and gotra by them in writing is of use.

They gave me in writing that they are Baniyas but infact they are Khatiks.I have nor problem with this also as it does not make any differnce now as we have got married but they are not ready to compromise.

It is upto you whether you want to ignore or present this fact as misrepresentation. There is no direct impact of such representation although it will add a circumstance against your spouse relating to her attitude and behaviour.
