Is reconciliation or written statement first in divorce 13.1

Family court judge ordered me to file WS within 7 days. I asked Reconciliation, she replied "after WS".

How can I object to it in my next hearing, through filing Memo? If yes, pls provide me a sample.

And also pls clarify, can I ask the judge in the same Memo to check the Vakalatnama of petitioner (petitioner said party in person, but one advocate is doing all the stuff in front of judge).

My FIL is making very defamatory comments against me just outside the court Hall (corridor). I complained to judge orally but of no use. Can I quote this too in the above Memo?

Pls guide me, it's very urgent. Thanks in advance.

You need to file WS as directed by the court and then ask for mediation and do reconciliation, draft a good WS, check your documents and annex with the WS

Warm Regards,

1. Do as directed by the Judge. You can file both the WS and a seperate application u/s 151 C.P.C. praying for delegating the case matter for mediation and counselling.

2. You can file the application for seeking mediation without the WS also. State that if mediation is done first the likelyhood for withdarwl of the petition is possible.

my wife filed divorce petition under under cruelty grounds 13.1.(ia).

I want to file counter claim divorce under section 23A of HMA under cruelty and desertion grounds.

1. So on the next date of hearing file one interim application u/s 151 C.P.C. for seeking mediation. 

2. Also one another interim application  u/s 151 C.P.C. seeking permission to grant extension to file WS citing the reason that at you  need some more time as you will need to enagage an advocate for such purpose (eventhough you may your self prepare the WS  but mentioning this reason in the application for engagaing an advocate will satisfy the court for granting an adjournment for to file WS). This then will take care of the mandatory period of two years desertion that is required u/s 13(1)(i-b) of HMA. Request that such adjourmnet date be given after 15th April 2016.

3. Yes, u/s 23A of HMA you can file a counter claim and seek relief for dissolution of the marriage u/s (1)(i-b) of HMA on grounds of desertion in the WS itself.

4. But be sure that you attend the next date of hearing.

5. In case you need to have more deliberation on such point you can opt to have phone consultation with me provided that you are willing to remunerate a moderate sum of rs. 500.00 for such purpose.

6. You can have get my contact details by clicking my name shown in the margin of this reply format.

Dear Rohit,

As the distance to court from my current residence is more than 800kms and also the opposition lawyer using influence to get short dates, So I engaged a lawyer from there to attend from next hearing onwards.

Regarding W.S. first or Reconciliation first, there are several judgements quoting Reconciliation first under 23(2) of HMA 1955 and 9(1) of family courts act 1984. But no lawyer is willing to oppose the judge in the court where my case is going on. No lawyer in that area well versed with sections, but i was forced to engage one reluctantly because of distance and to avoid direct face to face confrontation with my in-laws.
