Hello All,
Summary- I and wife belongs to MP got married Jun 2005 hindu marriage act, arranged one. Post marriage we lived only in karnataka due to my job. Apr 2013 i've filed divorce case and child custody case for my 7 yrs old daughter. Wife has deserted and was at her native at MP then. She then filed obvious counter cases DV and maintenance u/s 125. She filed for transferring karnataka cases filed by me to MP. On my objection SC transferred both the karnataka cases to Hyderabad the neutral location. MP cases are still running at MP family courts.
My problem is related to maintenance case running at MP. post SC order to hyderabad we asked the same thing at MP court to decide the jurisdiction before proceedings but unfortunately court didn’t listen and we approached High court, MP for deciding the jurisdiction of the case . High court gave order to lower court to decide the jurisdiction before continuing the proceedings. Today (17-Apr) was the hearing and we were prepared to give the HC order to the court. But to our surprise there was transfer of the judge and new judge was present. New judge mentioned that on the last hearing previous judge has written the order in the file - "as per the Supreme court order this case jurisdiction is at MP". On the last hearing my advocate was also present and this was not discussed with the advocate and not even informed. But the fact is there is no SC order in the file that new judge has confirmed and shown helplessness stating i cant change that and suggested us to go to the high court for the same to get the stay on his order.
Questions-
1. Other than going to High court any other speedy option to stay the proceedings at MP?
2. Was the previous judge correct on his conduct/order in anyways?
3. if not can I file any kind of complaint against him? Vigilance or high court or Supreme Court?
Anything else you may find helpful please share.
Thanks much in advance for the help.
