I am living with parents, after forced out by FIL, MIL and husband. Husband is Sr. Proj Manager (and very high salary)
I am applying for maint under 24 of HMA from husband.
I submitted some documents/printouts, alongwith maint Application, which I obtained from his company (unofficially) and filed a printouts of the PDF files (salary slips are given as PDF file/soft copy in his company. biggest IT company in India).
I have also got the FMP nos and FD nos (ICICI never issued him printed FDs. Same with FMPs of HDFC).
So asked him by a 'notice to admit it as fact' and submit documents.
I submitted my salary details (I am Govt empl)
He replied vaguely saying 'salary slips/ and some FDs/FMPs are never given in prited format to him' and hence application be dismissed.
Can I use print outs of PDFs as it has many details of compant tax no. his pan no deductions, Everything s there.
Next stage may be argument.
Will you please help me to understand what would happen on next hearing, exactly?
Do We have to bring all/each and every salary slip PDFs and all other document photocopies on record 'formally'?
Does each document (almost all are1 page documents/PDFs) require a number?
If so at what stage it is asked?
Only 'list of docs' is given that number exhibition no, but other pages stapled to it were not given any number when we filed those.
What is marking of document submitted?
Are those PDF printouts having any value as a proofs? Contents are 100% true but only problem is that it is print out of softcopy.
Husband's lawyer hasn't said anything against it yet. Does Judge ask for ORIGINAL COPY of it to verify the submitted photocopy/printouts?

Proceeding u/s 24 HMA are either heard summarily or by way of evidence. So first mention how your case would be heard. If it is heard on the basis of your petition and his objection only then you have to just attach the copies those salary slips. If it would be done by evidence then you have to exhibit the same at the time of your examination in chief. Those PDF files if downloaded from his company website are valid and has to be considered by the court. Consult with your lawyer in this aspect.
