Dear friends,
I filed a divorce petition on grounds of cruelty in the High Court of Madras in December 2009. Notwithstanding, my wife filed a RCR at her native town of Arani, Tiruvannamalai District in Mar 2010. She also filed a Transfer Petition with a prayer that she is not financially strong and since she has 17 months ailing baby she cannot travel to the High Court for the hearing and hence requested the High Court to transfer the same to her native. I filed a counter in same month insisting that due my professional work pressures it would be not easy for me to travel and I also produced health reasons along with letters of warning from my management of my frequent leaves from work.This made the High court to give a judgement that the case has to completed within a period of 8 weeks and that my presence shall be required only once during this period for cross examination.
The case finally came up for hearing in her town subordinate court in Nov 22 2010 and it dragged for another 2 months till 21 Jan when the final arguments took place. The judgement was deferred till 3 Feb.
I was surprised today as I heard from my lawyer that in her judgement the lady judge as dimissed both the cases . Can this ever happen? I have heard that either of the petitions are taken but this is first time that i heard of such judgements.
So I therefore seek responses from learned members as to what would be the next step? Can this be appealed at the high court of madras or would I have to file in the district court of her native.
Regards
