SIR,
I am a member of this esteemed club since 2009 and very much thankful to the valuable suggestions given by the experts.
Currently in my sister's child custody case the family court decided the child to be with her, husband challenged in high court and appeal dismissed,husband challenged in supreme court and there also it got dismissed.Husband again filed child custody in family court claiming change of circumstances and it got dismissed. Now he filed appeal in High court and the court admitted the matter due to non-appearance.
Now my question is if the wife does not appear in high court for this appeal will the appeal will be decided exparte or on merits by checking the lower court orders reasons etc. As my sister got fedup with this court process from almost 8 years.
