First, the responsibility is on wife, who filed the divorce petition to prove the charges of cruelty.

your job is only to deny the charges.

In the petition, see whether the charges are specific or vague. If they are vague, she cannot succeed.

you prepare your witnesses, well in advance and see, how much she is succeeding to prove the charges.  Once her evidence is complete, it will be known, whether she can succeed or not.  According to that your defence has to be prepared.

you did correct thing.  do not file RCR.  it will back-fire you.

Actually I want to write a very lengthy article how to conduct divorce case.  But, on this forum some fools are there, who attribute commercial interest to me and as they cannot attack my article, they attack me stupidly.  They will not teach and they will not allow others to teach.

This forum is to teach the people how to conduct their cases in courts and give practical tips and not lengthy articles preaching phylosophies.

Thanks to Mr. Prabhakar,

 

It just reminds me of a proverb.........something like....... 'An Advocate in Humans AND a Human in Advocates'

 

I really value your comments. Sir.

 

Please do not get distracted by any adverse comments ( I shudn't be saying this.......bcos its like 'chhhota mooh aur badi baat'. An experienced lawyers like you all wudn't be getting distracted even in the dreams.)

 

And making specific and 'to the point' arguments is the essence of you all lawyers.
I really appreciate it.

 

Having said that....your comments made me think again .... whether should I request you to kindly post your views on 'how to conduct divorce case' or not???.....

 

Bcos, after reading your valued suggestions, 'those who are desperately seeking divorce would come up with something to circumvent it .'

The same thing happens with case laws. People get cautioned once the landmark judgement comes out. e.g if police reveal their investigation mode, the criminal minds do get cautioned and ensure that they do not leave behind such type of evidence, traceability behind.

 

But I still wud request you to kindly post your views on 'How to conduct divorce case' for the reason that.......................Once indian society is equipped with 'Irreversible Break up of marriage' ground, then it is going to be a futile exercise.

Until that happens your comments wud be very useful to those who genuinely want to defend the divorce suit..

Please post your views and suggetions ......................     From the defendent's perspective.....

  • If Defendent is a husband and defending divorce suit.
  • If Defendent is a wife and defending divorce suit.

The act of defending the divorce suit is NOT gender neutral, I believe.

Or at least, please send me a PM and I would like to thank you in advance for that.

Mr. Prabhakar, do it in the interest of the readers. Anyone who has commercial interest would obviously would not do this exercise to educate lay persons in such technical matters.
