My 484 case to dismiss a 498a case was filed in December 2013. I’ve been getting updates every few months, but the case hasn’t reached the judge yet. Is this delay common in Indian courts, or should I consider changing lawyers?

Delays in Indian courts are common, especially for cases like yours involving matrimonial disputes. The length of the process depends on factors like caseload and court resources. While delays are understandable, you should consult with your lawyer about specific reasons for the delay and discuss whether their approach is appropriate.
