Dear Experts,
Kindly advise on the following.
I got an Ex Parte Divorce decree on cruelty from the family court in 2010 as she ( my wife) did not attend the court despite serving of summons and having knowledge. She appealed in the High Court and the Ex Parte decree was set aside and sent back to the Family Court again with an order to dispose off the case as early as possible.
Now, at the stage of submitting evidence here in the Family Court , I submitted FRESH EVIDENCE and copies of which were duly received by the opposite party. After that they have taken 3 dates ( Totalling more than a month) for cross examining us on various pretext. After so many days now they have filed a petition in the Family Court that we cannot submit FRESH EVIDENCE (?) as according to them evidences have already been submitted by us earlier.
I shall be grateful if you could confirm whether it is true that FRESH evidence cannot be filed. We need to give fresh instances of her cruelty during the period.
After the Ex Parte decree was set aside by High Court why cant we submit Fresh Evidence as the case has started afresh.
Kindly let me have a few citations in this regard.
Please help me.
Kind Regards.
