file an application u/s 21 b

Dear Kumar

approach the court to close his right to file the Reply and proceed further.

or file an application u/s 21B of Hindu Marriage act.

Time period to file the reply is 30 days , if he fails in doing so then request to the court go for further proceeding , for speedy trial you can move an application u/s 21B of HMA .

WHAT YOUR ADVOCATE IS DOING ? IF YOU FIND HIM SLEEPING TELL HIM TO TAKE APPROPRIATE STEP FOR EARLY DISPOSAL OF YOUR CASE..  i am afraid, this forum is to give legal opinion and advice to the litigants but not to guide them  for court procedures. .

Thanks Dr. J C Vashista

Actually after the notice was served, he appeared to the court and to the counselling also. After the counselling is over, he was asked to file reply but he has not yet filed the reply.

Thanks again for the reply.

The time to file a counter by the respondent will be thirty days from the date of first appearance of the respondent which at the discretion of court may extent upto90 days.  If the inordinate delay is found to be deliberate, then section 21b of HMA can be revoked for necessary further action in this regard.

I respecfully disagree with my Learned friend since the time to file a counter by the respondent will be thirty days from the date of service of notice on the defendant/respondent and not first appearance of the respondent.
