Hello experts, I need your guidance. I hv filed a DV case n maintenance also but my lawyer told me that maintenance will start after the divorce. I am 7 months pregnant right now I m in urgent need of money for my delivery. I m housewife n my mom getting pension which is not sufficient for us. I m staying with my mom. My husband abndoned me n not ready for taking the responsibility. What should I do?? Who will pay my delivery expenses.

Advocate Vikas Galugade answered
Madamji , it was totally wrong suggestion by your Lawyer abt maintainance. It will start after filling say and arguments done by Advocates by both sides. You told directly to the court ur difficulty and court will definately consider the same. My simple suggestion is to change your Lawyer , if possible.

You hv a choice to file matter in family court or in criminal court for maintainance and other reliefs . Its upon you what to choose. If you wanted maintainance then file case for Domestic violence Act and if you wanted to reside with them then you file an petition for restitution of conjugal rights as per Hindu Law.

Q: What can I do if the other party is delaying the court proceedings?

Hi, I writing from Thane seeking clear help on DV and RCR case filed by my sister and their in-law's respectively. My sister after suffering for 2 years of trauma at her in-law's place by her mother-in-law and her husband revel to me about how living under constant threat has left her at peak of mental breakdown. My father had tried all means to get in-law's attention on the topic but they denied everything all together. My sister after seeing no option filed DV case against in-law's. She is mother of 1.5 years beautiful baby girl who never saw her father's face due his arrogance approach ever since my sister comes to home to take care of mother diagnosed with cancer in Oct 2016. Initially, In-law's ignored the notice issued by Court to appear and since acceptance of notice they are keep on extending the date to file their reply and court is granting their time, next hearing and reply filing timeline is going to be well over 90 days as stipulated in law. Is it allowed ???

Advocate Vikas Galugade answered
Hii , first you hv to do one thing to stop said kind of delay tactict by d respondent , if he had not file reply on this date , then you file an application for no written statement by respondent and also for ex party order against them , and if d court allowed your applications , then you will definately got the prayers on urgent basis by the Hon'ble Court.

Q: My Mother received a Summon at my home town where I don't reside

My Mother received a Summon at my home town where I don't reside from 6 yrs. Police called me and advised to receive and present on the date. But the Matter is, I or my parents didn't receive any notice prior to Summon. Also I don't know this person as the check was not given to him, it was given as a security to a person (original creditor) who gave money by mortgage of land n also took blank checks illegally as added security, he took heavy interest on the money given and when I failed to repay he is doing this, he also did SAUDA CHITTHI - Registered but did not go to the registration office on the date and have filed a different case for getting the land also . I never met this person who filed case and I have been asked to pay 75000/- which he claims he gave me in cash in month of March 2017 and the check bounced in April 2017 but we never received any notice. Also at the date mentioned, I was at my current location.
