Meanwhile my lawyer went in for execution petition for which there was no reply from the other side. The judge then issued a arest warrant in first week of nov2013. our next date was 5 dec2013. The judge has got transferred and the bench is vacant till date. The arrest notice is in awaiting. The clerk gave a date of 7 march 2014. for evedence he gave a date of jan 2014. The cases have been tranferred to other bench as the bench of family court is vacant. there we tried putting an application for reissue and take a closer date, but the other judge refused.

your husband is bound to comply with court orders for payment of interim maintenance .since appeal is filed in HC on next date of hearing draw attention of court to fact that maintenance not paid for period of 2 years .

as far as your matter before trial court is concerned wherein arrest warrant is issued in Nov 2013 have you sought to execute the warrant before 5th december 2013 .
in any case since other judge has refused to reissue
of warrant you will have to wait for next date of hearing in march 2014

Agree with the expert.
1) Depends upon the circumstances and various factors.
2) Take up through your lawyer.
3) He has to pay the balance draw the attention of the court.
