Respected Lawyers/Members,
Wife has filed petition for recovery of articles in Court . She is in a different state , I am in a different state whereas case filed in her Uncle's state. My advocate says I need to appear in person ( 2000kms from my home) , sign counter reply petition, stand in Court and give evidence that her allegations are baseless as I dont have anything from wife. Can't i just sign the reply and send to my advocate who can then file in Court.
Advocate says if I don't appear , Court will pass order for recovery of articles and no matter what happens i have to give things which i never had. Can someone please advise how does such cases progress and when the in person appearance is necessary ? Will the Court simply rule against me without even
