Summon received but not petition copy
24-Jun-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi all, i married in oct 2019. I faced domestic violence so lodged police complaint then filed divorce in 5 months. My husband yet to reply to my petition. But he is irregular in court hearings. But he filed petition under section 9 in other jurisdictions. Now my question is 1) is it valid to open other petition 2)i received summon as "judicial separation" without petition copy, but petition filed under section 9(conjugal rights).
Normally summon will be accompanied by the copy of the petition. But sometimes by mistake or at times intentionally such things happen. Only after checking the petition copy it will be clear whether judicial separation or restitution of conjugal rights. You can mention this during next hearing.

What happens if legal notice is not received?
The person who received the legal notice will be held responsible if it is not received. The address could be incorrect or the person trying to avoid receiving it.
What happens if you don't receive court summons?
It is not mandatory to attend court if you do not have the summons. Keep an eye on proceedings in the case. The complainant could get a warrant against you if they show that summons was duly served or the accused refused to accept it. 25-Oct-2017
Can I ignore court notice?
If you ignore the notice, it could lead to legal action against you. You should instead carefully read the notice to understand the allegations made against you. After you understand the notice, it is up to you how you respond. 28-Jul-2023
What is the time limit for legal notice?
The receiver must have a time limit of 30-60 calendar days to respond. To avoid a long legal process, the notice should be written in a manner that forces the recipient to accept the terms set forth by the sender.
you should claim the petition copy in the court. if petition copy is not received with the summons then through an advocate you can apporach the court section to receive the copy. and you can also get the petition copy on the first hearing date from the court.
