Alternate relief(HMA-23A) and new evidence submission

@ Author,

1. Burden of proving is on wife not on husband since she alleged!


2.  Yes he can very well do that under alternate relief by first denying and then rebutting denial with correct facts and cross examination of her. 

Any time limit for asking for alternate relief under hma 23a? I mean, can i ask alternate relief at any stage of main petition ie. even after the examination of petitioner & respondent?

Yes ........ false allegations causing irreparable damage to character amounts to mental cruelty.

You shud immediately move court to amend you counter to add counter-relief vide sec 23A.

Can respondent, husband, ask for divorce on mental cruelty as alternate relief under HMA-23A while contesting Annulment petition filed by wife on impotency?

---   yes may file. in same case it will be heared.

If he asks alternate relief after evidence stage and during the trial on main petition, will court allow him to submit new evidence to prove mental cruelty?

---   place your complain at earliest.

after complition of a stage, judge may not allow.

its her duty to prove her allegation of impotency

---   yes, you have to deny the said allegation, rest is upon the court.

for lodging the matrimonnial complains, there is no time bar under the the limitation act.
