Vivek (Clerk)     17 December 2015

Signed in lokadalath but not agreeing for mutual divorce

Dear Lawyers,

 

My wife had filedvarious criminal cases over me and my family members.

Finally after getting bail,after 5 months there was acompromise settlement.

She had agreed to withdraw cases and apply for divorce.Same was petetioned in Lok Adalath.

On the day of lok adalath she agreed for all the terms and conditions in front of magistrate and half the settlement amount was paid to her.

Now she is not agreeing for divorce. She is not coming forward for mutual divorce.

Still withdrawl of criminal cases is pending.

Please suggest how to proceed further.Can I move for contested divorce with Lok Adalath judgement as proof.

Also can I put a case on her for contempt of court order.

 

Kindly guide me.My Lawyer is not efficient enough to guide in this regard.

 

Regards

Vivek

Hi TGK Reddi Sir,

 

Terms and conditions

1. Half of the agreed amount shall be paid on day of lok adalth petetion.

2. 1/4 th amount on day of withdrawing criminal cases.

3. We shall be applying for divorce (no mention about date or if it is mutual)

4. Remaining 1/4th amount on day of divorce decree.

So can I apply for contested divorce?

 

Regards

Vivek

Three things you must do:

1.  File a suit for recovery for returning of money what she got from you after Lok Adalat by filing lok adalat order.

2.  File proper applications in all the criminal courts, where your case is pending, again along with lok adalat order and showing your readyness to file 1/4th of the amount, once she withdraws all her cases and not to  file them again.

3. File contested divorce case along with the grounds for divorce and also Lok Adalat order.
