Respected sirs,
I am in deep problem and want some quick advice from learned persons of the forum.
my case in brief
498a and 125crpc filed in 2013 simultaneously.
In the 498a petition the allegations levelled against me and my family members are weak (as opined by my advocate). Its only 1 (one ) page. The advocate of the opposite party probably forgot to add masala etc so as to make her case strong.
Now my opposite party realising that their advocate has done a serious blunder, have hired a new and seasoned advocate.
(498a case has not started yet, chargesheet stage completed)
In the 125 petition , the allegations levelled against me are nearly the same as in 498a petition.
Now the new lawyer of the opposite party has filed an amendment petition in which he has incorporated a set of new allegations like torturing her, didnt gave food to her, locked her inside the room, extra marital affairs etc. etc etc etc.
My advocate gave a counter reply to the amendment petition and stated that the allegations would change the nature of the suit and the amendment has been specifically done with an oblique motive to make their 498a case strong and hence should not be admitted.
today, the family court has issued the orders and have admitted their (opposite party) amendment petition. now i have the following questions to ask as i am starting to lose faith in my advocate due to the above incident:-
1. what should be my next course of action?
2. If i approach high court what is the possibility of family court's order to be stayed?
3. can any one guide me as to what is the procedure from family court to high court and then high court to family court with respect to challenging the order of family court?
3. within how many days i have to approach high court from the date of order i.e time bar limitation of such cases?
4. in such a scenario (above discussed) what would be my success rate in staying the order given the judiciary's tilt to female based biased laws?
Please forgive me for any grammatical mistakes/inability to express myself, as now i am in a very depressed state of mind due to the courts order.
