Hi Learned Forum,
Please advice me. FC granted Decree of divorce, she then appealed at the HC and obtained "interim suspension".
First I received the interim suspension Order by reg. post.
Following week I received another reg. post with a notice (signed by Asst. Registrar - Judicial) and a copy of her appeal petition. The standard printed notice says
" Take notice that an appeal/revision petition " from the above decree/order has been presented by the above named appealant or petitioner and registered in this court, and that if you intend to defend ths same you must enter an appearance in this court and give notice thereof to the appealant or petitioner or his pleader within 30days after service of this notice to you.
If no appearance in entered on your behalf by yourself, your pleader or someone authorised by law to act for you in this appeal/revision, it will be heard and decided in your absence. "
I consulted an Advocate. In his reply, following is what I understood. Is it right ?
Stay has been granted on the decree of divorce and if I want the stay to be vacated I should contest within 30 days or else the stay will remain in right effect until the final disposal of the appeal.
The dates for contesting the appeal will be notified in due course.
The final disposal can easily take one year.
Is my understanding correct ? Please pleeeease advice at earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Rajan
