Dear Experts,
In DV act case, JMFC court gave Judgment & is as follows. The respondent No;1 that is me, have to pay Maintenance of Rs 5,000/- from Date of registration of case, + Rs. 5,000/- towards house rent from date of Judgment + Limpsum amount of Rs. 50,000/-. there is nothing written against my parents, they were respondent No; 2 & 3.
Later i appealed in the district court, where the case is pending & i did not take any stay on the order.
My so called wife filled case for recovery of the amount in the JMFC court (same court). notice was addressed to my parents also. I did not take the notice, but my parents accepted the notice & appointed a lawyer for their part. They have given a written affidivate saying they dont have more relationship with me, as I have quarrelled & left the house for ever.
Now the judge is saying that the maintenance amount has to be paid by the parents also as they are respondents.
I am bit confused about this statement;
The same Judge gave the judgment saying I have to pay the maintenance in original suit & now the same judge is changing his own judgment. saying my parents have to pay.
My quarries are as belo:-
1. Can a judge ammend or ulter his own judgment?
2. Are my parents liable to pay maintenance & lumpsum amount ? (as i have heard may cases that there is no right to ask for maintenacne from in-lawys).
3. How can my parents defend this case (please input some of your valuable advice, so that i can suggest my parents lawyer).
Regards
