Even though dv might not have taken place in mumbai but if she is residing there she gets the jurisdiction to file the same. So you may not succeed upon mere jurisdiction point. File for custody and visitation of the child.

File the evidence of your wife earning 50 k along with your ws. If really you can prove that at the time of filing of the complaint, your wife was earning 50 k then, it is definately perjury. However, do not apply for perjury at this moment. Let the court arrive at some finding on her application  first on the basis of the evidence submitted by you.

This judgement may help,Thanks Ms Archana and Mr Jain.

Also one more Question can judge pass interim even if summons are not served on me?#

Adv Archana Deshmukh (Practicing Advocate)     11 June 2013

Only in very urgent and emargancy cases courts do pass orders granting interim reliefs but not otherwise. Eg. Interim protection order where there is threat of violence immediately.  The respondent is otherwise given due opportunity and is heard before passing interim orders

Archana ji Thats really a good piece of Info.Also I got some judgement where its shown DIR is necessary in DV as it runs like a crpc.before summons.

So I am planning to challenge the summons itself on#

1. DIR report as no domestic Incidence report in my case by PO direct summons

2 .Also I got a ruling of 7th May of Mumbai High court that no DV can be fied if no domestic relations as posted by Mr Manoj

 

Please suggest will this strategy work?

as if summons are challeneged then they wiill delay the process
