A Divorce case is pending in Family court and subsequently the
respondent instead of appearing in the family court applies for
transfer in high court.
The High Court approves the transfer petition but neither the
respondent nor her lawyer conveys it to the family court.
Later in time the Family court passes an exparte divorce decree in
favor or the applicant because respondent never appeared in the court
or applied for stray order or informed the family court in anyway of
the transfer order.
Now 6 months later the respondent files for set aside in the family
court and subsequently the family court sets it aside saying that
everything that happens after the high court transfer order is
infructous.
is this correct? or we can challenge it in high court? what are the chances?
are there any ruling of this kind for reference?
