DV case not withdrawn after the first motion


10-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I and my wife have settled our case in Mediation centre Court. As per the terms & conditions she has to withdraw DV act within a week after first motion and FIR quashing will be done after second motion. The amount is to be paid in 3 instalments, 1st instalment on 1st motion, 2nd instalment on 2nd motion & 3rd instalment on FIR quashing. Our 1st motion was done on 23rd July,18 in which we have given her amount as agreed. But till date, she has not withdrawn the DV act case. Also, she has not appeared on the next date of hearing in DV act case which was on 9th Aug,18. Her advocate is also not appearing now. In the first motion, we have submitted the affidavit in the family court in which we have mentioned that if any party breaks the settlement deed in between then they have to pay a certain amount to the second party and also return back the amount taken. So, I want to know what action can we take against her now? Please tell me the section no. of IPC which is to be put in this case on wife by me.

Ok As per your query it seems that there is a clear settelment between both the parties. But she is failed to complete it, I hope you have an agreement of settlement , which is full signed by both the parties, if yes and still she is failed to perform it, in that case you can file contempt of court against her as she breach the agreement.. for any further queries you can contact me.

Sir file application for the police investigation at the family court for the domestic violence case . in it when the police submit the closer report in the family court then with that report you the husband need to go to the Honorable high court to quash the case . Then back to the family court and file the defamation on wife with cost . And go for the divorce.

This is a common practice that most of the parties follow upon the settlement of the case. However, no need to panic unless your wife has expressly denied giving her consent for the second motion. If you had apprised the Hon’ble court where the Domestic Violence proceedings are going on about the settlement between you and wife the court will not pass any adverse order against you. Further, on the next date if your wife does not appear request the court to issue court notice to the complainant. At times, the complainant appears after the court notice. Therefore, no need to panic.

I would suggest you to not look for pressing the clause of damages in your settlement and rather get done with the divorce. It will take up another few months to follow the other path.

As far as what you can do now, call your wife’s lawyer or her and ask her to appear and withdraw the case. If you do not wish to contact either of them then appear before the Domestic Violence court on the next date and ask the court to issue court notice. You can recover the amount that has been paid to your wife if she withdraws from her consent. Moreover, you can file a cheating case against her, but there is less likelihood of success in the criminal case, if so filed, as there are a number of judgments passed by Supreme Court of India supporting the withdrawal of consent after first motion. Nobody can compel the other party to give consent under pressure.
