What can I do if the other party is delaying the court proceedings?


26-Dec-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, I writing from Thane seeking clear help on DV and RCR case filed by my sister and their in-law's respectively. My sister after suffering for 2 years of trauma at her in-law's place by her mother-in-law and her husband revel to me about how living under constant threat has left her at peak of mental breakdown. My father had tried all means to get in-law's attention on the topic but they denied everything all together. My sister after seeing no option filed DV case against in-law's. She is mother of 1.5 years beautiful baby girl who never saw her father's face due his arrogance approach ever since my sister comes to home to take care of mother diagnosed with cancer in Oct 2016. Initially, In-law's ignored the notice issued by Court to appear and since acceptance of notice they are keep on extending the date to file their reply and court is granting their time, next hearing and reply filing timeline is going to be well over 90 days as stipulated in law. Is it allowed ???

Dear client,
In law there is provision how to proceed further in any matter and you need to take steps for protection of your right in the present case. You can proceed the matter without reply. And take proper initiative you will get relief.

On the next date of hearing, you can represent to the Judge about the problems being faced by you and request him to expedite the matter. There is no specific provision under law to speed up the matters.
