Petitioner Evidence to Mediation


28-Jul-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, We are Hindus. My husband had filed for divorce. I received the petition.I did not attend the first 3 hearings. Now the case status turned to petitioner evidence. I wish to attend the next hearing and request the judge to direct us for mediation. I do not wish to contest and want to see if there are chances of reconcilation during the mediation. Can I attend the next hearing and request to be directed for mediation ? Thanks.

Yes you can attend the case in the next date of hearing and you can seek the court to send the file to mediation for exploring the possibility of settlement. As you have mentioned in query that you don’t want to contest, then it will be easy to dispose off the matter asap.

yes you can attend the next hearing in court and either directly speak to the judge for the matter to be sent for mediation are you can engage a lawyer to tell the court so. Not attending last some hearings will not affect your case.

Dear Madam, Yes, you can appear as party-in-person for which you have to file some applications seeking to conduct the case as party-in-person. The Court may look into the history of your case and may probably order for mediation. During meditation you may try for settlement otherwise you have to contest the Divorce case filed by your husband otherwise it will be allowed. The lower the quantum of alimony the chances of compromise are very much.

Chances of mediation is very less since it has attained the stage of petitioner evidence stage but you can make submissions in the court and give supporting documents to the court. If you want to reconcile then you can file RCR petition under section 9 of HMA act or if u want to divorces your husband then effective cross examination must be done to give justice in your favour

Yes you can come on record now. Only thing is you need to file an application seeking an order for setting aside exparte order. So please appoint an advocate for contesting or telling you the further recourse.
