the petition which is filed in the court by your wife will contain her signatures on the documents.or else it will not be numbered.it is not abig mistake to bring to the notice of magistrate.service of summons was for your appearance in the court if you dont appear in the court the court will issue warrants and procure your attendance with the help of police.so i hereby advise you to appear before the court on the day of your appearance along with an advocate.

OK Mr. Amit... Got it!
But the question still bothers me, isn't the copy sent with the summons a xerox copy of the petition that is filed first with the court? Or is the summons issued before filing the petition itself?
Because, ideally the petition & the affidavit is immidiately signed by the advocate & the client before submitting it to the court... In that case the copy sent should also contain the same signs (xerox copy)...
Can you please correct my understanding?

Hai Victim, There is nothing there to astound you when receiving an unsigned petition and affidavit. You have to obey the summons. You will get a signed copy of the said documents from the court if wanted so. It may either signed by the counsel of your wife or herself. You need require any remedy beacuse there is no harm doen to you by the judiciary. You won't be benefited this matter if you point it in your counter affidavit. Best of luck

It is a usual practice in Law Courts to summon a party with the seal and signature of the Court cocerned over the form of summons only.The copy of the petition attached therewith is to be signed either by the party or his/her counsel. You should appear in the Court concerned on the date fixed in the summons. You may claim thereafter for copy of the said petition dully signed by the party or the advocate.
