Can any one suggest me regarding the following plz ...
I have a Friend who is an Advocate herself, but working with a Private Company. She has filed a Divorce petition (under cruelty grounds) (the marriage took place during Feb 2009). on October 2009 (IA Petition seeking permission to apply for divorce before 1 yr of marriage was filed along with the main divorce petition) She has been living with her parents since 8 months now. All though she has engaged Advocate. Is it possible for her to appear in person with or witout her Advocate along with her. Both parties are not intertested in Living together. She is a Member of bar counsil, but has not been for any litigation till date. her husban seems to tell that she has taken his jewels from her matrimonal home, and claims compensation. He is in a putting forth a Condition that if she gives him money he shall give mutual consent.
Can this be delt under Dowry Prohibition Act
Is it necessary for her to resign her job to appear as party in person in the court of law or can she wear the Advocates uniform n appear with out resigning her job..
Else how can this situation be delt
pls advise
Regards
