Should I reject mediation in false domestic violence case ?


26-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My wife filed a Restitution of Conjugal right (RCR) after leaving my house at her own will living for ~50days after marriage quarreling with me. During mediation of RCR when I said I am not interested to continue the relationship anymore with a person of such character she filed a false DV case (section 12, 22(compensation)) against me and my family members accusing me of cruelty, dowry harassment, and asked for 50 lakhs compensation. Every accusation in the petition is false and baseless without any evidence. Since she was not present even once in court during hearing dates (only her advocate was present)the magistrate has given me a choice for me to decide if I needed mediation to settle the matter. Since I don't want any settlement with her and I am ready to fight the case on merit - is it okay to tell the magistrate that there is no chance of settlement and I am not interested in mediation during next sitting ?

yes is it if you think you have merits in your case and you wish to fight you can deny the mediation and continue with the matter and also you have to file your reply point wise to her complaint and attach relevent evidence to support the same so that it gets strong

Mediation can be used in divorce, labor disputes or bargaining, real estate, and in other disputes so to avoid taking the case to court. Mediation is an informal process to resolve disputes, and the third-party is the mediator who clarifies the misunderstanding between the parties.
So if u don't want then u can do it
