Dear Experts,
My Divorce case is at Bangalore court and it is at my cross stage. But the respondent (my wife) is not attending the case and her lawyer simply ask for the date and judge also gives the date. her intension is only to drag the case. During last case date, judge informed her lawyer to bring her to the court , but she did not turn up for the next hearing and her lawyer asked for next date which judge also given.
Is that any rule in the family court to take further action and bring my wife to the court or whether we can ask the judge to waive the present stage(my cross) and go for her cross examination. Even if judge gives, whether she can roll back to my cross again thro high court.
Kindly advice.
Thanks /gvrao

You file an application for closing your evidence on the default of your wife to cross examine.
