I 'm a victim of mental cruelty,desertion since more than 3 yrs.Filed DV Act during Feb. 2009 against hubby & mother inlaw.
reached a settlement in high court mediation cell not according to my needs.My hubby is giving v.less lumpsum alimony even though he earns in lakhs monthly.He's posted abroad.I agreed to this settlement since my lawyer was not supporting me during mediation.so i have changed my lawyer now.
1. can i tell the court that i am dissatisfied with this settlement as my lawyer dint support me so much and most of my streedhan is lying with inlaws which they have not agreed to return but only returning v.few articles according to this settlement?
2. acc. to this settlement i have no further claims and demands from the other party.the dv act will be dismissed after divorce.
so can i say that i want to pursue DV Act proceedings to get my entire streedhan back+compensation for harassment+lumpsum alimony according to his salary.
my hubby earns 3.5 lakhs monthly.he is the only child,no siblings.if i want a lumpsum alimony from him,how much will the court give in DV act,acc. to his salary.

both the mediator and advocate of the other party kept saying if i don't agree i will have to undergo litigation of several yrs.does DV Act really go on for several yrs. if hubby is posted abroad?
mediator had too much sympathy for FIL owing to his old age,on whom i never filed any case.he tried to grab her attention by touching her feet,crying etc.
so settlement was hurried upon just for his sake and i was forced to sign to accept the ltd. streedhan i m getting .my lawyer dint support me at all during mediation.my hubby unaware of this mediation going on sent me divorce notices from his hometown
while i was dissatisfied,FIL got a bail and MIL also got it when their lawyer came to know that the case is against her actually.so no condition was put on her at all and she easily got the bail.
my lawyer dint appear to put the condition that i shd first verify that all my streedhan is in gud condition and then both of them will get bail.
DV Case was kept pending all the while.
i changed my lawyer to pursue the DV case since i was given partiality.now the mediator and her colleagues try to influence the DV Case judge's mind so that my DV case doesnt proceed....becoz i signed the settlement.even tho it was under duress.and aslo since my hubby was unaware of it as he sent me divorce notices.we got a stay order on his divorce case
my new lawyer raised the point that it was enetered b/w me and my FL althogh my husband shud have been present.....but for 3 months,the dv case judge passes orders to return all my streedhann but wen lawyers from high court try to change her mind,she changes the orders....
my lawyer stated that my streedhan is my property and they cant make it part of settlement and hold it ransom,but to no avail.
what shud be dun? i want my rights as per DV act...plz suggest wot can be dun in all the abv. situations?
