Dear all,
I really appreciate all your inputs. Despite of having a busy life you have taken out your time to read the quaries here and write a reply to them. Especially@'Rocky Smith' I have been following your posts.
I thought I will briefly explain my whole case and current situation so that I can get me some more valuable suggestions.
I am an NRI
Got married in Nov 2009
498A, DV 3&4 Cases filed on me(A1) to A4 on 24/11/2011
All of us are on bail now.
A maintainance case was filed on 20/12/2012 claiming 20,000 Rs per month.
As the evidences from my side I have submitted a video evidence in the court showing that she is working in a bank at that time. In oct 2014 order was passed in MC saying that I should be paying 2,000 Rs per month. But my wife did not file any execution petition accepting or contesting that order until now. Hence I didn't pay any maintainance yet ( My question is I am ready to pay but to whom I should pay)
On 23rd March 2015 my wife filed a divorce petition in a different court mentioning that despite of the court order I havent payed her any maintainance. For that petition I haven't filed a counter yet.
On 3rd Aug 2015 Examination for A1-A4 was done in regards to the criminal cases and the trial is yet to begin on 31st Aug.
Lately my wife's family approached us and demanded for 30lakhs and said they will with draw all the cases. In response I refused to give them a penny and said I will fight the case.
What I want from the whole situation is Obviously, I want to be free from all this but definitely I don't want to givein into the extortion and give them any money.
I am ready to fight the case, I am not in a rush to get married right now. Since its high time in the case(498A), I can bare the pain to come to India every 2-3 months for a week or so if necessary. As long as I don't have to spend here for months and months.
What reasons court will usually accept as good enough to make it a speedy trial?
How long normally a speedy trial will take to finish?
What reasons are considered to be good enough to present if I am seeking for excemption of my presence during trial?
In regards to divorce I am happy if its prolonged until the criminal case is existing. Because I dont want her to be free while I am stuck with the cases.
whats are the best possible options I have leagally?
Sorry if I have sounded ignorant above, its none other than lack of my knowledge in this subject.
