My question is how long can they skip from attending the trial?? will warrant be issued against them if they continue to skip?? Pls guide me
Domestic Violence cases are quasi criminal. Meaning it is civil of nature. Parties may not appear in the court. If you have obtained an interim protection order and they have violated that then other separate case has to be lodged under 31 of the act. This separate case will be criminal in nature. The punishment is one year. Moreover attendance of parties is not much of importance the outcome of the case is. If due to their non appearance the case is pending then you can ask the court to issue warrants against them.

Did your husband and mother in law receive summons from court? If yes then you may pray before the court to cancel their bail and to initially issue bailable warrant of arrest against them. They cannot avoid the process of the court under the cover of bail :)
