Dear Experts,
My wife filed a false DV case against me and my Family in Nov 2011.We have aduaghter who is staying with her right now.In Jan 2011, The Hon.Court denied interim maintenance to my wife based on the proofs submiited by me on that time.
She did not produce a single evidance till date.
I have few video clips which i shot with my own camera at home. These are normal video clips which consist of my family mebers including my wife and daughter. My application to show thses clip was rejected by Hon. Court citing that the clips are not authentic as they are shot by me who is a respondent in the case.
Can I appeal in the higer court against this order?Please advice.
These clips can be supportive in addition to the proofs which i submitted earlier to show that wife was happy with me and she is staying at her parent's home without any reason.
Thanks in advance for ur suggestions and support.

no.. court is right in your case.. you cant produce it as your side evidence..
more over a few minutes[may be she was happy] video clippings can not reveal anything that whether she met any violence or not..

your wife may be happy with you earlier but she could have changed her mind . furnishing of video clips wont serve any purpose . dont appeal against order .

This is not conclusive evidence and hence the court is right it its approach.
Also only the original media is admissible as evidence.

You have not indicated what are the contents of the vides clips. At times woman utter threats that she will falsely implicate husband in DV case or dowry demand. Such recording can be useful.
video recording and photography is evidence if corroborated by the evidence of the person who recorded and the said person can himself be witness even if he is respondent or applicant in the case. Authenticity of the clips is not lost simply because you shot it. Its relevance may or may not be here.
You challenge this order.
