Revision/ appeal for dv act- section 12

Hi All, Myself Ashwini.

I have a DV act- section 12 case registered in MM court Karkardooma. The case was filed three years back. My wife has filed his case on false grounds and there is no evidence or proofs provided for Domestic Violence.

There has been an interim maintenance order passed recently which I wanted to challenge because of higher amount of maintenance. In the order court has accepted that my Salary is 65k to 70k per month, and my wife is not liable for maintenance as she is well qualified and she was working earlier earning 40k p.m even though she is not working now.

I have a 5 Yr. old daughter and court has mentioned that I should pay 10000 per month for residence and 15000 per month for maintaining the child. My parents are senior citizens and are fully dependent on me. I have loan against my Sister's marriage and for study.

The arrears now for 36 months since the filing of the case are accumulating to 9 lakhs of rupees. Taking into consideration loan and other liabilities, I was unable to save more than 10 k per month and I do not have this amount to pay in three months.

What should be my next course of action?

Dear Mr Ashwini, you have to file appeal u/s 28 of the DV Act before the Sessions Court for challenging the order of maintenance.

Dear Mr. Goyal- Thanks. I also wanted to know if the sessions court submits a fee or part of fee (maintenance) before I submit the appeal.

Dear Sir,

Yes all details of salary and assets affidavits were filed but my counsel did not appear in the court during two arguements and I think Judge was in the view than we are trying to prolong the case unnecessarily. My counsel only argued on the point that the case should be dismissed because it is filed after 1 Year from Separation of the wife. I think the order is impugned. If I file an appeal, will I be asked to submit any partial arrear amount? The truth is because I had two loans (study and sister's marriage) and my parents are dependent on me, I coudn't save anything for the past 2-3 years and I am not in a condition to even pa 50% of 9 lakhs. Also I wanted to know if I never forced my wife to leave at this point can we file section 9 or will it have any negative affect on my case?

Thanks

Firstly I believe that you have not represented the fats what you state now before the court at that time and had  you explained your financial constraints and factual economic status, the court might have considered your pleadings. Further the domestic violence is a continuous act hence it cannot be treated as barred by limitation etc.  In my opinion, your advocate has not properly represented your case resulting into such an harsh punishment.  However, in appeal you make it a point to represent with all the details and also request the court to allow you to make part payments periodically.  If you find your advocate is not very effective, change him immediately and look for a better one.
