@ Gopinath, I am sorry to hear the status of you who has approached the court of law with little knowledge. Please ask your lawyer to accompany you to get the status of the case. I believe the case is still not registered in the court of law. In your case the high possibilities would be your lawyer would have joined the hands with other party lawyer for a settlement free.
How the RCR works:
1. Your lawyer prepares the petition under section 9 of HMA.
2. You go to court and sign the register.
3. MC number will be allotted and posted for order for summons by Judge.
4. Summons will be sent to the party
5. Summons will contain the date by which the other party has to file Vokalath.
6. If party don't turn up after receiving summons, the case will be decided x'party and your wife will be ordered to Join you.
7.If party does turn up her lawyer will file Vokalatham and the Judge will refer the matter to mediation cell, in mediation cell the matter will be with them for 60 days. If failed will be referred back to the court for trail.
8. Then Judge will either say the other party to file the Objections or the other party can take up to 3 dates depending upon several factors.
9 Once filed, you will be given date for evidence and your cross
10. Then her evidence and her cross examination
11. Then the next step will be argument
12. Finally the orders
These steps usually take between 6-18 months depending on several factors and nothing could be determined prima- facia. Lets assume the case is positive then you have to wait for 1 year if the other party doesn't turn up then you will be eligible to file divorce based on dessertion and mental cruelty. The whole process would take around 3-5 years in getting the decree of divorce.
By the way RCR is futile unless planned well. I am seriously unaware of the situation of your but pity they way you have fallen into the trap of the crooked lawyer. Please be aware of the Court proceedings.
Battle of Divorce is mentally won if you are aware of the process and aware of your wife's moves. Please strategize and plan accordingly. If you need any assistance please send me a PM I will exchange my contact details and you can share your concerns if you dont mind.
