You can contest the letter which purports to be a letter whereby and whereunder divorce has been granted to you. It can be challenged on the ground that the procedure laid down in muslim law as to the presence of witnesses has not been complied with.

he correct law of talaq as ordained by the Holy Quran is that talaq must be for a reasonable cause and be preceded by attempts at reconciliation between the husband and the wife by the arbitrators one from the wife’s family and the other from the husband’. If the attempts fail, talaq may be effected. In other words, an attempt at reconciliation by two relations, one each of the parties is an essential condition precedent to talaq. It is fallacy that a Muslim male enjoys, under the Quranic law, unbridled authority to liquidate the marriage. The Holy Quran expressly forbids a man to seek pretext for divorcing his wife, so long as she remains faithful and obedient to him. “If they (Namely women) obey you, then do not seek way against them” (Quran IV 34).

in your case there has been no appointment of arbitrators nor has talaq been given in front of 2 witness . hence it is not valid

Talaq given by him is legally invalid as there were no arbitrators or witnesses. Some independent witnesses had to join.

talak nama by your husband mentions reasons for giving you talaq . in addition it is signed by 2 witness . it has been duly served upon you .it is better you consult your lawyer who will advise after going through the contents of talaq nama .

since there were no attempts at reconciliation made nor any meeting of arbitrators held taalq nama would be invalid

Earlier you had said that no witness has signed the letter. Now you are saying it bears the signatures of two witnesses. If witnesses have signed the letter then consult a lawyer personally to ascertain if the divorce is legally valid.

If you have filed the case then prosecute it. If the averments made in letter are false then your case has legs to stand on in court.

file for restitution of conjugal rights against your husband . as per the Holy Qur'an talaq can be granted if 1) it should be for reasonable cause, 2) it should be preceded by an attempt at reconciliation and c) the talaq be effected if the attempt for reconciliation failed.
