Strange situation : rcr and divorce in final stages

Sathya Shanmugavlu (Querist) 28 December 2023 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

I have a strange situation.

Both my wife's divorce case and my RCR case are running parallely in same court same bundle, Vth Addln Family Court, Chennai.

My RCR is in Cross Examination stage after evidence marked.
My Wife Divorce in Evidence stage, so far they did not provide evidence and dragging the case.

Judge set last chance for PW1 cross Examination on my RCR.

If my RCR is ordered on merits, will her Divorce petition gets automatically dismissed or will it still run till she provides evidence (even if that take years to conclude)

I just want to end these cases soon and not give them chance to drag the cases.

Please advice 🙏

Thanks,
Sathya

Quick Summary

A user in Chennai is facing parallel RCR and divorce proceedings in the same court. Their RCR case is nearing completion, while the wife's divorce case is being delayed. They are seeking advice on whether a favourable RCR outcome would automatically dismiss the divorce petition or if it would continue indefinitely. Experts have clarified that the judge will decide on both cases simultaneously, and a successful RCR can be used to argue for the dismissal of the divorce petition.

Both the cases will run concurrently like 2 suits clubbed together or like sister suits. The judge will either allow divorce and dismiss the RCR or allow RCR and dismiss the divorce petition or can even dismiss both the cases but he will never allow both the cases.

If the RCR case is decided in your favor then you can file a memo before court stating that that her divorce case has become infructuous hence it may be dismissed
