Dear Experts, I need some guidance on the following:
I have a DV case registered against me u/s 12 and 23 awaiting first hearing. I am filing for custody under GWA. My queries are:
1. Do I need to mention about the pending DV case in my custody petition? If, I don't, will it be considered as suppression of facts at a later stage? My lawyer says it is not necessary to mention though. Please guide me on the pros and the cons.
2. Would it be a good idea to put similar case references in my custody petition? Or it would be better if I save those for later stage. If this is preferable, then when and how these references can be produced?
I am just a layman (victim) trying to get some knowledge.
Warm Regards
