Q: Regarding Decree Certificate from the court

मेरा सेकंड मोशन 22 मई 2026 को हो चुका है। इसके बाद मेरी पूर्व पत्नी (Petitioner No. 2) ने मेरे वकील से कहा है कि उसे Divorce Certificate की आवश्यकता नहीं है और यदि मुझे चाहिए तो मैं स्वयं जाकर इसे ले लूँ। लेकिन कोर्ट की ओर से कहा जा रहा है कि Divorce Certificate लेने के लिए दोनों पक्षों का साथ में उपस्थित होना आवश्यक है।इस स्थिति में मेरा सवाल है: क्या Divorce Certificate केवल मेरी व्यक्तिगत उपस्थिति में जारी नहीं हो सकता, या दोनों Petitioners की उपस्थिति अनिवार्य है? अगर मेरी पूर्व पत्नी कोर्

Mutual Divorce ke second motion ke baad court jo decree pass karti hai wahi Divorce Certificate ka kaam karti hai. Certificate prapt karne ke liye dono pakshon ka sath me upasthit hona anivarya nahi hai. Aap akela ya apne vakeel ke madhyam se court me application dekar certified copy nikalwa sakte hain. Agar court staff dono ko bulane ki baat kar raha hai to aap Judge ke samaksh application laga kar sirf apni upasthiti me copy dene ki prarthana kar sakte hain. Aapki poorva patni ke na aane se decree ki validity par koi asar nahi padega

Q: Query Regarding Filing of PIL concering fake 498 A cases

Can a PIL be filed to ensure a 498A FIR doesn't cause an adverse Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) until a chargesheet is filed? Disgruntled wives use 498A to block husbands' foreign and domestic job opportunities via background checks. We seek court relief protecting the right to work/travel abroad post-FIR. What is your fee structure, including drafting and appearances? Do you offer a nominal package deal for this? Which court this PIL can be filed

Advocate Sangeeta Rai answered
A PIL can be filed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court under Article 32 or before the respective High Court under Article 226. However, maintainability will depend on showing violation of fundamental rights like Right to Livelihood and Travel under Article 21. Currently, mere registration of FIR does not automatically lead to adverse PCC remarks. As per existing guidelines, adverse entry in PCC is generally made only after chargesheet or conviction. Relief can be sought to issue directions to police/embassies to not treat FIR stage as adverse. For drafting, appearances and entire PIL, fee depends on seniority and court. A nominal package can be discussed post consultation. The appropriate forum would be Hon'ble Supreme Court for pan-India direction or respective State High Court.
