HUSBAND'S SALARY SLIP AND MAINTENANCE

The real salary slips clearly reveal that husband earns three times more salary than what he has representated in the court.

---   it is a case of contempt of court.

as it is contempt of court, therefore you need not to worry, just claim 'contempt of court' at your court and as evidence  put the photocopy of both the certificates. donot worry the court will take the appropriate action.

contempt of court means the person did not follow the courts order, according to order  - he has to file the true certificate not the false one. by filing the false certificate he dishonour the court. that is contempt.

1. How will the wife use this important piece of evidence?

---   file a petition of contempt of court.

2. Will she have to disclose the source of evidence?

---   no, not necessary.

3. Will the evidence obtained through a sting operation be inadmissible?

---   no it is admissible.

4. Can she confront the husband and his lawyer in person and settle the terms outside court?

---    yes ofcourse. you have the full right to appear in person.

5. Should she write to husband's employer and show both the salary slips i.e. fake and real and ask for authentication?

---   no need. court will call the employer to clarify which one of the two is original.

6.  What does the Evidence Act say about such evidence?

---   it is acceptable. the second one must be true otherwise you have to face the contempt of court.

7. What are the rights of a wife in a situation where she has no choice left but to set up a sting operation to get correct information?

---   do not worry, it is not a issue before the court.

8. Is there any way to make the sting operation acceptable?

---   do not worry, it is acceptable.

note: court is not alert. court has not asked the husband's employer to produce real salary slip.

----   court will not take any such action,  untill contempt of court prayed and urgued.
