How to request court for taking out financial records?

I am going thru dv and divorce. Wife is saying that I never spent any money on the house, and she always had to ask for money from her parents after being harassed for money by me. Along with other absurd claims of hers.

3yrs back I had a stroke, am unemployed since then. Hence arguing my own cases. Now first five yrs till my stroke, I was earning and all my salary was going into running of house. Wife did some part time volunteer work for a couple of yrs, used to get 5k p.m. She saved it up and made an investment in her name 5yrs back.

All thru my life since I started working, I have not touched my own parent's money, and also wife's money. So forget about her parent's money.

Now this will be reflected in my banking records, PAN records, and IT records. And my wife's similar records. These various financial institutions keep these records for people.

How can I request the court to take them out for me and my wife and see my innocence and my wife's lies? What is the procedure for making such a request to the court? Thanks in advance..

Mirage,

 

Let me ask  few question to give appropriate answer

 

1. Do you want to produce document related to you or your wife?

2. Do you have those document in your possesion ?

 

 

You can produce financial document belonging to you and your wife provided the case has not passed through evidence stage. You do not need permission of the court to produce it. You just mention all document in the document evidence form, hand over one set of document to your counter party and submit all docsl to  court.

 

More important thing is to land your hand on document  - if it is yours then it should not be a problem, if it is your wifes' you will have to apply human intelligene.

I know my 2 bank accounts, also my wife's one account. I want to get out the last nine yrs of financial records on these 3 accounts. Banks wud have them, but they wud not give them to me, without a court order. These bank records wud be sufficient to rubbish all and any of my wife's financial related allegations. I need to ask the court to take them out. Hope that helps @ onlytruth, thanks....

The banks are legally bound to keep the data for last 7 years.

 

However most keep it till eternity. So with the grace of God you would get it.

 

CrPC 91 in Criminal cases can be filed

Witness Summons in Civil cases can be filed.

Thanks @ shonee, actually last 7 yrs wud do the trick too, as her allegations are throughout last 8-9 yrs, so last 7 yrs wud be enuf to establish the rubbish in all her financial allegations. Any hints as to how to request the court for the banking records? ..... I seldom see ppl agree here.. So dont abt fools... Hehe... But seriously u get a lot of diff viewpoints so great selection on what suits your situation best.. I am a big fan of LCI.. Thanks to guys like you.. :-)

btw CrPC 91 in Criminal cases can be filed Witness Summons in Civil cases can be file what does that mean in reference to my case? @ shonee

Mirage,

 

Yes shoonee's  ":Witness summon for civil cases"  text applies to your case.  In other words, you can request court to call bank as witness through sending summon.

 

For calling bank through summon you may have to prove to the court  that bank have material evidence relavent to your case  prima face     - you can prove that by saying that  you are maintaining bank account with so and so bank and the account contains all expense details so putting these records to court will bring out truth.

Thanks @ onlytruth, I think between shonee n u, I have the banking records covered quite well.. Thanks for all the help guys..

Shonee Kapoor (Legal Evangelist - TRIPAKSHA)     16 September 2011

See buddy, DV is criminal in nature so application should be under CrPC 91 (Criminal Procedure Code Section 91)

 

However if it was a HMA 24 case, you would be required to file Witness Summons (which is as per Civil Procedure Code)

Thanks @ shonee .. Wat shud be the the gist of application under CrPC 91? Something like this : " blah blah .. Most respctfully showeth .. Blah blah .. I respectfully request the hon' court to instruct a,b,c bank to provide all banking details in their possession for the last 8 yrs, for x,y,z accounts, account holders of said account being held by the respondent and the complainant respectively. These banking details are crucial in ascertaining the validity of complainant's financial allegations. In the interest of truth and justice I humbly pray to hon' court to give necessary orders, instructions or directions to said banks at the earliest. Blah blah... " .... Something on these lines?? @ shonee .. Thanks buddy.. :-)
