Respected Sirs,
Currently there is a civil suit in progress in city civil court filed by wife side.
The suit has been filed to declare the settlement deed to the name of my mother as null and void.
To give a background they had filed a civil suit earlier to not to alineate the property purchased before marriage. The suit was dismissed.
Subsequently they filed the present suit.
There is a Divorce OP pending along with various I.A's and Domestic Violence case against me.
My Lawyer is saying if we take the Civil Suit to Lok Adalat and reach a settlement, it would result in closure of all other cases including the Divorce OP.
Seems like their lawyers has mentioned to my lawyer that he would not oppose if a request for referral to Lok Adalat is filed.
My questions are:
1. Will reaching a settlement in a Civil Suit in Lok Adalat help in closure of other cases including Main Divorce O.P and DV just because the wife side agreed for a settlement in Civil suit?
2. Or will taking a case where the wife side has little chance of winning to Lok adalat be a disadvantage to me?
