The context is like this: I am preparing my reply for Domestic violence case filed by my wife against me. Long list of 15-16 allegations, and I possess enough eidence to prove 12-13 of those 15-16 allegations as false on her face, with irrefutable documentary evidences. Rest I'd refute just categorically. I am reasonably confident I will win. And by the way, my wife is MBA from India's top business school, was earning 6-figure (monthly) salary, and also working fulltime now. so I don't care about paying maintenance. My question is different.
So far so good about proving her a liar. But I don't wanna stop at merely sqashing the petition of Domestic Violence filed against me. I would also like to request for heavy cost from the wife for filing frivolous and bunch of false allegations. Can I put this prayer in my reply - to squash the petition with heavy cost ? And then cite a recent judgement by the same judge ? Will it have adverse implication like I am asking too much from the court ?
There was a recent judgement by the same hon'ble judge in whose court my case is pending. There the hon'ble lady judge fined the rich wife/petitioner INR 1 lakh as it was proved that she hide her income situation and filed false case for unjustified personal gain in terms of money. And it was a fit case which called for exemplary punishment/cost. Even if the fine amount does not go to husband's pocket (went to blind relief), it was a relief for the husband.
My case is also pending under the court of the same judge. I am confident about the efficiency and transparency of the hon'ble judge (in spite of the fact that she is a lady judge), which is why I dare to go one step further. My question is, can I explicitly request for heavy cost citing the judge's own judgement dischrged in recent past ? Will it strenthen my case or make adverse impression on the hon'ble judge ? Am I being too daring ?
