Dv summons meaning

Hi,

I recieved summons on DV from JFMC,Vashi Navi Mumbai that I and My father who are named in DV are required to appear personally or thru a duly authorized counsel to show cause why the reliefs claimed by applicant against you should not be granted,failing which the court shall proceed ex-partee agisnt you........

 

Now the bl**dy thing is that my wife filed 498A,406 and 365 in Ajmer in September 2009 ,then she moved to Navi Mumbai in 2010.Ever since there is no domestic relation and I have never been to Navi Mumbai where she resides.

I have Child custody cases and dcivorce running in Ghaziabad where in she has also filed TP in Supreme court recentky for transfer of cases to Navi Mumbai ,where as we have moved application under 340 against her in child custody cases for presenting false facts nd is pending..After we highlighted her false affidavts she moved quickly to file DV against me in navi mumbai after 5 years of separation and also file TP in Supreme court so that my mind remains occupied.

My query is

1. what should be my steps in DV case ,shpuld i go to Mumbai high court for quashing on basis of jurisdiction and no domestic relation from past 5 years

2.Similar grounds for my parents who disowned me in 2008

3.Counter points in TP as she has smartly moved TP for Divorce & Child custody but not the 498A cases in Ajmer .

 

Help appreciated

hi,

can  you send me grounds  that it will not be maintainable in Navi mumbai JFMC Court or do I need to go for quashing?

Also if some one can shed some light on Transfer petition.

 First you appear in the DV case and file an application stating that this court has no jurisdiction, if it is allowed then it is fine, otherwise you challenge that order in the high court.

Fight for DV as it is not maintainable after 5 years of separation maximum limit is one year in DV cases

if she files transfer petition you can file counter to object here i am giving some steps for your use 


Strategy and facts to remember to fight Transfer Petitions

 

  • Normally, Husband or wife can put transfer petition to transfer the petition from the place where it is initiated to the place of convenience.

  • If the source place and the destination place are in the same state then transfer petition has to be put in the high court of the same state.

  • If the source place and the destination place are in the different state then transfer petition has to be put in the Supreme Court.

  • Typical grounds taken by wife in the transfer petitions are below.

    • Having a child

    • Travel is unsafe being a lady

    • Expenses required for travel

    • Threat to life at Husband’s place

    • Husband is very influential in his place

    • Inconvenience to travel long distance

  • Counters for the above grounds.

    • COUNTER OF POINT 1 : One of the parents of the wife can look after the child and another can accompany her. Some of the precedence where this court has taken a similar stand is listed below. (TP (CIVIL) NO.191 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NO. 27 OF 2005)
       

    • COUNTER OF POINT 2 : Just because she is a lady does not mean that she cannot travel a distance of just 8 hours. Supreme court also accepted this fact recently while disposing the "TP (CIVIL) NOS.117-118 OF 2004" whilepassing the following order.

      "The grounds made out are that the Petitioner is an unemployed lady and totally dependent on her uncle and that she will be hard pressed to defend the Suit at Muzaffar Nagar. It is also claimed that there is a Petition for restitution of conjugal rights and certain other proceedings pending in Delhi. In our view, no substantial ground for transfer has been made out. If the Petitioner wishes that all cases be tried at one place, she may apply for the same and we will transfer the cases pending in Delhi to Muzaffar Nagar. Merely because the Petitioner is a lady does not mean she cannot travel to Muzaffar Nagar. At the highest she can be paid expenses for travel and stay. We, therefore, direct that the Respondent shall pay to the Respondent and a companion travel and stay expenses on every occasion that the Petitioner is required to go to Muzaffar Nagar. The Court at Muzaffar Nagar shall ensure that such payment is made to the Petitioner on every occasion. With thesedirections, the Transfer Petitions are dismissed."

      Just because she is a lady does not mean that she cannot travel a distance of just 8 hours. The respondent wants to bring to the kind attention of the honorable court that in general ladies are misusing the leniency shown by this honorable court in regard to the transfer petition. Supreme court also accepted this fact recently while disposing the "TP (CIVIL) NO.191 OF 2005" while passing the following order.

      "Even otherwise, it must be seen that at one stage this Court was showing leniency to ladies. But since then it has been found that a large number of transfer petitions are filed by women taking advantage of the leniency taken by this Court. On an average at least 10 to 15 transfer petitions are on Board of each Court on each admission day. It is, therefore, clear that leniency of this Court is being misused by the women. This Court is now required to consider each petition on its merit. In this case the ground taken by the wife is that she has a small child and that there is nobody to keep her child. The child, in this case, is six years old and there are grand parents available to look after the child. The Respondent is willing to pay all expenses for traveland stay for the Petitioner and her companion for every visit when the Petitioner is required to attend the Court at Delhi. Thus, the ground that the Petitioner has no source of income is adequately met. Except for stating that her health is not good, no particulars are given. On the ground that she is not able to come to Delhi to attend the Court on a particular date, she can alwaysapply for exemption and her application will undoubtedly be considered on its merit. Hence, no ground for transfer has been made out. Accordingly, we dismiss the Transfer Petition. We, however, direct that the Respondent shall pay all travel and stay expenses of the Petitioner and her companion for each and every occasion when she is required to attend the Court at Delhi".
       

    • COUNTER OF POINT 3 : Ready to pay all expenses but mention that this willbe paid on actual. Husband is willing to pay reasonable expenses to wife whenever she is required to travel for these cases. Some of the precedence where Supreme Court has taken a similar stand is listed below. (TP (CIVIL) NO.191 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NO. 23 OF 2005, TP(C) No. 24/2005, TP (CIVIL) NO. 27 OF 2005, TP(C) No. 61/2005, TP (Civil) No.66 of 2003, TP (Civil) No.136 of 2003, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 212 OF 2006, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 142 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NOS.117-118 OF 2004, TP NO..416 OF 2004, T.P.(C) No. 489 OF 2004, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 561 OF 2004, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 191 OF 2005, TP(C) NO.195 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NO.243 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 245 OF 2005, TP(C) NO.246 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.)

NO(s). 722 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NO.725 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 741 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 743 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 746 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 759 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 769 OF 2005, TP (C) NO. 798 OF 2005),.
       

    • COUNTER OF POINT 4 : You have to mention that you too face a threat at her place. You need to argue that in that case it should be transferred to a neutral place where both husband and wife can fight the legal battle peacefully. There is a judgment on this. Will be provided on request. Please note that in this case you have to give her travel and staying expenses. But this should be a last ditch effort. You should not mention this point of neutral place in the petition. In case your lawyer feel that judge may transfer the petition then only this method should be used.
       

    • COUNTER OF POINT 5 : You have to mention that wife’s family is also influential in their place. You need to argue that in that case it should be transferred to a neutral place where both husband and wife can fight the legal battle peacefully. There is a judgment on this. Will be provided on request. Please note that in this case you have to give her travel and staying expenses. But this should be a last ditch effort. You should not mention this point of neutral place in the petition. In case your lawyer feel that judge may transfer the petition then only this method should be used.
       

    • COUNTER OF POINT 6 : The distance between place A and B is not so far that it will cause inconvenience to wife. Some of the precedence where this court has taken a similar stand is listed below. (TP (CIVIL) NO.191 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NO. 23 OF 2005, TP (C) No. 61/2005, TP (Civil) No.66 of 2003, TP (CIVIL.) NO(s). 142 OF 2005, TP (CIVIL) NOS.117-118 of 2004).

Sec 407/406 of CrPC deals with crimal case transfers. One can apply in SC/HC

transfer of criminal case is very rare

transfer sought by wife in matrimonial cases is very commonly given by HCs/SC
