Penalty for filing affidavit late

Hi,

 

I am fighting crpc 125 case filed by my wife.

 

I was expected to file my affidavit.

 

I am not able to take leave and attend court dates in different city due to work. I asked my lawyer to extend dates by 3 months.

 

The lawyer said the he would handle it. He asked for exetension every month (n court). But he did not inform me everything.

 

When I went to court in 4th month, my lawyer said I have to pay penalty of Rs. 6000 to court.  (Rs. 2000 * 3 dates)

 

Is this penalty valid? Is it really required?

Will I get receipt for this?

Respected lawyers, Please, guide me.

Is it penalty or is it cost for not filing the affidavit?

 

Ask the lawyer for daily order sheet of all 3 dates; the court may have imposed cost on you for not filing the affidavit. If it is not mentioned in daily order sheet, you don't need to pay it.

 

You won't get any reciept but when you would pay the cost; the judge would note that the cost is paid,

Now the question is, why the lawyer did not do his duty on time?

Is he practicing flattery?
