If you feel the opponent of you, is in use of delaying tactics, at court file a petition u/s 21b of HMA.

 

HMA Sec 21B. Special provision relating to trial and disposal of petitions under the Act.

Just curious to know if anyone successfully used HMA21B to expedite divorce proceedings? I'm also a victim of  delaying tactics.

at court it is a common problem.

the party who logically and legally weak, use this delaying tactice.

if one put application under 21b, it creates  a pressure over the system (court).

1. It does not create pressure in trial Court unless and until after filing and observing next few proceedings the party who has filed is not satisfied and approached higher forum for "just" Order.

Reasoning:
If that be so then all errant wife's will start getting withing 60 days maintenance and would not be multiplying maint. litigations by filing other maint. suits using other codes / acts.

it creats a light pressure upon the court.

court can not deny it as because it is within the act.

but it is not the solution of all similar problems.
