Hello,

Yours is a perfect case of wrong legal consultation. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT - if you can stay back in US - Please do so - do not come to India - under any circumstances. Please share details of your case (case no and title) (in case you dont know then share your full name and your wifes full name along with fathers name and addresses) on my email id.

Your cases could have been easily quashed till date as the matter has been settled in US as ex party. Just confirm wether your wife was summoned for divorce case in US or not (summon received or not) if yes then it makes strong case - otherwise too yours is a case where your wife is intentionally harassing you and your parents.

Ask your lawyer

a. Details of the case in High Court : Case no. and Next Date of Hearing, ask for soft copy of all the orders passed by the high court and also copy of the petition filed by him in the court (do not pay anything until he does that) Ask the status of case in Highcourt

b. Ask the name of the lawyer who is representing you in High Court of Uttrakhand

c. Ask all same details in maintenance case and other case in Rishikesh / jurisdiction where case is filed.

If he does not reply to above queries -you may find it wise to change your lawyer at the earliest.

In reference to your cases you may choose to contact us as we provide our services in Distt courts and High Court of Uttrakhand as well.

Best of Luck

Well,he seems to be duped by a person whois claiming torperesent you beofre the court or lawforums.

I Advise You not to trust him anymore and seek a line of action he has done so far through e-mail.

I am sure he does not gave much to offer on this account. In that event lodge complaint with Bar Council agaisnt his professional misconduct.

Then engage a new advocate, contest her cases, If 498A case has been filed take bail.

File another divorce suit in India since decree of divorce in USA is not recognised in Indian court.

Friend

Trust is essential for all effective relationships, whether personal or business.

From an lawyer's perspective, client trust is critical. it is the glue that holds the both of them together, that means that everyone has to be on the same page, trusting each other to work towards the same goals, all the time. while the need for client trust may seem obvious, it is sometimes overlooked, and often taken for granted in modern law practice.

The strength of that relationship is determined by the level of trust that the client has for the lawyer.

The bottom line is this: a lack of trust has a material impact on the outcomes.

So Friend, It is not necessary that High Court would grant you stay. Simply say your lawyer to give you a NOC and so that you can appoint another lawyer as he or she is not competent enough. Don’t make any further payment to Lawyer unless he furnishes you copy of petition filed by him.

At last i just want to say that human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. Don't give up, fight for your rights.

ADVOCATE ON RECORD

SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

See if you are not satisfy with the way of behaiour and working of advocate then you must need to change him. Because there must be transparency between client and advocate related to the work. There will be no consequences by changing the lawyer, but make sure you must hire some competent advocate. Yes this is true that if you get stay from high court then there will no need to attend high court, but for quashing the FIR there must be compromise or settlement on the basis of monetary compensation between the parties and have the agreement for it. It means, both the parties should involve for quashing, it will be very difficult to quash the FIR just on the contentions of single party. You can ask for the complete file of your case from him and have a look over it. You can ask for strong unique grounds for quashing the FIR. Only stay is not a complete solution, petition will have to go somewhere whether granted or dismissed. Now its upto you, if you can feel that other party will ready to talk on table for compromise then its fine. If not, then you need to think over it.

considering the fact of yours,

Lawyer need to be transparent with client on the case. Since it is missing, You can not expect quality work from your lawyer. Not sure your lawyer is in touch with complainant party to work against you. I suggest you to change the lawyer and the process is easy.

I am not sure on conditional quash of 498a cases wrt. Bangalore high court. Once the case is registered then none of the party need not visit police station.

The only question you can ask him to share your case details and pertaining documents to work with another lawyer.

When an advocate is appointed by a client for a certain case under Order 4 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908 the pleader has to file to the Court a duly signed written document by the client, which is termed as a Vakalatnama. In case a client is not satisfied with the lawyer, then first, the client should discuss it with the lawyer, and resolve the issue amicably. If it is not resolved then he might ask for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) on the Vakalatnama or on other documents related to the case. This is an easier way. But in case the advocate does not agree to give a NOC, then the person can issue a notice of termination to the advocate and apply to the court for withdrawal of Vakalatnama. Order 3 of Civil Procedure Code gives aggrieved persons the right to choose one’s pleader. Therefore changing of pleader with the leave of the Court is possible. The new pleader should submit a duly signed Vakalatnama to the court. Hence it is possible to change one’s pleader. In a few cases problem arises with the case history. If the pleader fails to give it to the client, the client can apply for the order sheet by an application to the Court.

Hi, With my rich experience, normally petition under section 125 of the Cr.P.C will not be quashed in the High Court, because it is the duty of the Husband to maintain his wife and children. Secondly, in the High Court has the power to quash the any proceedings under section 482 of the Cr. P.C but the thing is that, from the substance of the complaint there is no material allegation proceed against you, under such circumstance High Court will quash the proceedings.

2. Whether your advocate has filed the petition or not, for check the same you can go to the High Court of Karnataka website, there you can find whether your case has registered or not and you can also know the status of your case.

3. As far as professional fee is concerned i am not say anything.

Please ask your Lawyer to give photocopies of the case papers with all the documents, consult a new Lawyer (1 or 2) take opinion and then proceed with your case or change the Lawyer if required.

If the Honourable High Court grants stay of the proceedings in the criminal case, it is just a stay of the proceedings till further orders and not permanent relief.

If you are ready for the amicable settlement with your wife file application to the mediation centre in Bengaluru to appoint mediator to settle the dispute.

Your lawyer is just happily earning and not doing any work. You must change him over by taking no objection vakalatnama. Before that get hold of all documents made by him and served to you by your wifes lawyer. Show them. Can go through and guide you better. As far as I am aware, if you are properly taking care of your child and if your son is questioned and your son speaks on your behalf and moreso your wife is qualified and its just a harrasive measure she is using, she can be divorced out without alimony

Hi, sir without being prejudice, I must say your lawyer has been extracting money from you .. Ask him to send you the quashing petiton filed in high court and the order for the next date of hearing .. Your parents can collect it from him on your behalf .. The petiton will be having institution no. on it on the bases of which , I can take out the details of the proceedings.. It is advisable to hire a lawyer that is more transparent in his approach..

1. On what ground your lawyer has filed the petition praying fr quashing the dowry harassment FIR?

2. To my knowledge, Indian High Courts do not entertain quash petition before charge sheet is filed about the FIR against which quash petition has been filed. In your case, has charge sheet been filed? If yes, has any lop hole in the said charge sheet been detected by your lawyer in consultation with you?

3. What you are required to do is that you should manage to get the charge sheet filed by the IO of the police station at the earliest so that you can file the quash petition finding out loop holes in the said charge sheet proving the complaint as false.

4. You can think of changing your Advocate by collecting NOC on Vakalatnama from him and then appointing a new Advocate.

==Your Advocate is giving all wrong information. There will not be any Quash Petition in your matter and there is no question of stay. Since 498A is a criminal case, you have to attend the hearing without fail. Otherwise NBW (Non Bailable Warrant) will be issued in your favour. To gain some time (for about one or two months) you Advocate can file a Petition. Hence, my advise is to immediately change the Advocate and appoint new Advocate. Normally the earlier Advocate may harass you in not giving NOC of Vakalat. If you need any advice I will help you in this regard. I will explain you how to obtain NOC from earlier Advocate. You are also paying very huge fee. You can contact me through Kaanoon.com team.

Dear Client,

It is kind of unethical/unprofessional from an advocate that on charging good fees still he is not responding to the queries of client.

If u feel so , instead of any relief, he is chagrining u fees on regular basis with no improvement/development in the case, u better change the lawyer on one time payment.

No advocate can assured the outcome of the case as its violation of advocate act but it is advocate`s inseparable duty to keep aware of all the records and pleading, stage of case. He can only act on his own motion in the best interest of the client.

Seek from a copy of all the documentation that he has filed in the Court on your behalf.

Seek exact status of all the proceedings. Ask him to provide you with a list of all dates when your matter(s) were listed.

Depute someone to coordinate and supervise the conduct of your lawyer.

Without knowing the current status of the maintenance case or any other case she has filed against you, it would be difficult to render any opinion in this regard.

You can collect the details or the copies of the petition filed before high court for seeking quash of the case pending in the trial court.

It is not understood that where is the sessions court involved in this crime.

As per your contents, it can be presumed that she might have filed a dowry harassment case under section 498a and section 3 and 4 of DP act through police and also a DV case directly and another case for maintenance under section 125 cr,.p.c.

For quashing FIR in 498a case, he should have approached high court, but where are the details, he is supposed to inform you the case details because it is you who has signed the affidavit for the same.

The fee what he is reported to have charged seems to be exorbitant.

But that his fee which cannot be commented upon.

However you can demand the details of all the cases he has filed on your behalf and the status of the case details of the cases she has initiated against you and also can terminate his services.

You are at liberty to engage the services of another lawyer of confidence.

First you obtain all the said details and then decide the next course of action.

There is no guarantee that you will get a stay from the High court.

Ask him to provide the number of the 482 petition so that you may check the status of the same online.

Do not make any further payment if he does not reply to your query or does not share the copy of the petition with you.

Definitely you have been duped by your lawyer here.

You can take NOC from that lawyer and engage another lawyer.
