• Dvc interim orders

Hi,

In my DVC interim maintenance judge ordered 20k maintenence. I have lost my job recently and in new job I get 25k salary. In old job it was 1.2lakh. I have lost job due to depression and also because of manpower reduce. I have clearly given this in written arguments.

1. I cannot pay 20k. I want to appeal in session court. How to make session court reduce amount

2. If we appeal in session court, till the session court decide should I pay maintenance? Any way to pay part payment like 6000 till session court decide

3. I have given application for child visitation in DVC under section 21 (manipal HC told that father application for visitation maintainable under DVC). Judge has not told anything about it and continued the case to witness. How to make judge consider it. Can I appeal in session court along with maintenance appeal

4. Wife filed all fake cases. I can prove many of allegation as wrong. If I prove then whether wife gets maintenance?

5.i have read some family court judgements. In that they tell since wife and witness told that she is harassed it is evident that domestic violence happened. But wife and witness can lie and they will. Why the statements of wife considered as truth.. How to handle this and prove innocence

1. The quantum of maintenance is determined on the basis of your present salary. So if your income is 25K then produce the proof in support hereof and seek revision on amount of maintenance.

2. You can wait till she files execution case for recovery of the arrears maintenance.

3. Ask the court to dispose of the interlocutory petition u/s 21 of the Act. unless all interim petitions are disposed of the court can not proceed with the trial of the suit.

4. The falsity or acquittal in 498A case has nothing to do with the merit of the maintenance case. if your wife is without income then your liability to maintain her subsists.

5. The lie of the witnesses has to be made apparent during their cross examination. If you can not establish their lie the court would believe them to be true.

Point wise answer to your questions-

1. You have to argue the matter before sessions court and prove your income is much less than what the lower court considered along with factors such as wife is also working, you have to maintain your parents and other expenses.

2. Before sessions court you can ask for a stay of the order till the maintenance is decided. You can wait till the orders from sessions court is passed. However, you will have to pay the arrears if you loose.

3. Yes you can raise the issue before the sessions court along in your appeal.

4. If the case is decided in your favour, wife will not get maintenance. It is only the interim maintenance that is provided.

5. To prove anything before the court, you need evidences. You win either by disproving her case or by proving your case or both.

Dear Client,

Show your present salary and reason of job loss and unable to find new job on same payroll.

If no stay from session court or part payment order, you have to pay full amount.

Submit the ruling in court, if not acted or refuse to agree, file appeal.

If DV not proved, wife not entitle to maintenance.

Without cogent evidence of harassment, court won`t rely on mere allegation.

1. A revision can be filed before the Sessions court for reducing the maintenance based on the recent salary slips. Produce the proof of your latest salary and income.

2. You can seek interim order of stay or part payment from the session court till the revision if court allows then in that case it can be paid,

3. if there is no order on application you cannot appeal it for that judge need to pass order so you can press the application in case it is rejected then an appeal can be filed.

4. Under DV she is not eligible for maintenance if the allegations are proved wrong Bombay and Himachal high court judgement that DV cannot be filed only for the maintenance.

5.See in cross the witness and wife can be cross checked further the date and event of such witness can be disputed further evidence form our side can be given.

Firslty, as we can believe on your words that you have lost your job, and now you are getting only 20K, but judge may not accept it.

Secondly, so, I advice you to make an application before the same court where the order has been passed (no need to go before the session court in appeal) for the reduce of amount with all sufficient documents.

Thirdly, yes you can pay 6K from the period when you started earning les amount, it may not be the violation of the order.

Fourhtly, proving something or not is the matter for trial.

Fifthly, no, for visiting rights you may have to move another application in the family court.

1. To succeed in the Sessions Court you have to satisfy it that the court below did not factor in your liabilities accurately. Unless you are able to demonstrate this Sessions Court will not reduce the amount, let alone quash it altogether.

2. During the pendency of your appeal you must seek a stay on the order of the lower court.

3. Since the trial court is not deciding your application for interim visitation rights you can file a petition in the High Court to seek an expeditious disposal of your application. This is the only remedy.

4. Even if you prove all the cases as false wife is still entitled to maintenance.

5. In a DV case unless the court records a finding that domestic violence has been committed it cannot award any relief to the applicant.

1. You may prefer an an appeal by producing the substantial documents to prove your case.

2. You may first obtain a stay on the operation of the order by the trial court and then proceed with the main appeal.

3. The child visitation case application will be considered by the court on its own course, hence do not hurry.

4. You ,must prove the same before court and strive for dismissal of her case.

5. This can be taken up during trial proceedings only.

1. For preferring revision agaisnt the interim maintenance order, you may have to approach high court with a petition for revision of the order passed by the trial court.

2. If revision petition is dismissed by high court you may file a review petition.

3. After the prosecution witness is completed, the defence witness will begin.

4. You better consult your advocate on this instead of getting confused and spoiling your defence due to your hasty decisions.

5. You first wait for her to prove your salary income. After that to defend your interests and to disprove her allegations, you may produce the vidences in your support before court to nullify her claim.
