Dear Experts,
I've a strange situation in my PWDVA case.
The case is in complainant's evidence stage. During the first date of OP evidence, my ex-wife did not choose to appear to file her evidence. Instead, her father gave an affidavit (basically, a copy of DV petition) as the only evidence. No documentary proof and no electronic evidence. Next date is for cross-examination. Upon instigation by my lawyer, judge asked complainant to be brought to court for deposition. However, this looks unlikely as their lawyer later told.
My question is: - Can evidence stage proceed without complainant even appearing and giving her testimony? In case, she refuses to appear, what objections can I raise in the court against such a behavior?
Kindly Help!
Regards,
CC
