Dear All experts,
It is seen in many cases that the wife roped all the family members in DV case apart from her husband and some cases number of respondents are more than seven or eight.
In one such case Magistrate is demanding exempt application of other respondents who have not appeared before the court on the date and all of them are residing in other CITY AND STATE having distance of more than 1200 kms. However the application is giving by the Advocate by his sign.
Kindly guide is it necessary to ask the application every time by the Magistrate when they have not to deposed in the court and the presence in persons of the respondents is merely formality because every time case is adjourned for so many routine procedure ?
