In the Divorce proceedings, my wife got interim maintenance S24. I couldn't pay because I am in the process of filing revision against it well before the completion of 90 days time by 13.03.17. But yesterday, the family court asked me to clear the entire dues by next hearing date i.e. 06.03.17 else my defense will be struck off in both divorce as well as another connected case Crpc 125.
Now my queries are
1) Is it legal to struck my defense even before the lapse of statutor time given for filing my review?
2) Even if the court take it as my default, the punishment should be limited to divorce case only, how can it be extended to Crpc 125 which is all together a different case.
3) If my defense is struck off, I will lose my cross examination rights also?
4) Can a part payment of 10 to 20% is allowed by court to stave off my situation, i mean to restore my defense rights.
