My wife has filed cases under IPC 498a, 406, 34 and 506 in may 2010. In august 2010 she had filed CrPC 125. I didnot receive any summon for CrPC 125. Order was passed ex-parte for Rs.3000 p.m. maintenance in february 2011. I came to know about the same for the first time in march 2011, when she filed for execution under CrPC 128. As I did not had any legal knowledge and various people (including some lawyers) advised me that I have no choice other than to pay the maintenance. Actually I could prove that she deserted me.
Now I would like to know:
1. Can I ask for retrial of CrPC 125 as it was ex-parte? If yes what I need to do?
2. Can I appeal to Session / High Court? If yes, please tell me how?
Thanks & Regards.
