Hearing frequency

u may plede u/s 21b of HMA to speed up the matter.

to be successful, create some special ground depenging upon the merits of ur own individual case.

21B     Special provision relating to trial and  disposal of petitions under this Act

(1)        The trial of a petition under this Act shall, so far as is practicable consistently with the interests of justice in respect of the trial, be continued from day to day until its conclusion unless the court finds the adjournment of the trial beyond the following day to be necessary for reasons to be recorded.

(2)        Every petition under this Act shall be tried as expeditiously as possible and endeavor shall be made to conclude the trail within six months from the date of service of notice of the petition on the respondent

(3)        Every appeal under this Act shall be heard as expeditiously as possible, and endeavor shall be made to conclude the hearing within three months from the date of service of notice of appeal on the respondent.

Also, if you want to see the child, either take steps under Sec 26 of HMA or file a case under Guardian and Wards Act.

The matter would be protracted by the party who doesnot want it to be decided.

Regarding 21(b), my lawyer says that its academic sec only. U do not get anything from it rather than irritating the judge! He says-- Family court is already a "Fast Track Court". Dur to overworked judiciary, they do not give imp to 21 (b).

Also cleart the point, Sec 21 (b) is applied in same court where RCR is pending or in higher court?

Thank you all  !!!

What your advocate says is entirely wrong. I have seen cases been fast-tracked, when some reasoning is provided. Loss of employment opportunity/ old parents/ small children etc are some grounds which one should use.

There are many such judgements Amit.
