Indian law does not generally allow for financial compensation due to a broken engagement. However, if you have incurred specific financial losses like non-refundable venue bookings, you might have a claim for recovery of those losses. It’s best to consult a lawyer to understand your specific legal options and the strength of your case.

I filed for divorce in January and my wife filed a 498A case against me, my brother, father, and mother in March. This January, she also filed a Domestic Violence case (DVC), adding my sister’s name to the list of accused. My concern is about the DVC case – I plan to only contest it and make all family members ex-parte. Will this cause any issues in the future? Does being ex-parte imply we agree with my wife’s allegations? If her claims are proven false at trial, will the ex-parte judgment affect my family members? What are the potential consequences for my family if my wife wins the DVC case? I need your advice on whether this strategy is wise or not.

My husband’s family received a significant amount of money as a wedding gift, deposited into an account jointly held by my husband and his father. Now, during a legal dispute, my lawyer requested bank statements and PAN card details for this account from the past year.

Previous Article A recent appellate writ petition (WP) didn’t explicitly address whether a previous case, involving similar issues, was decisively settled. The order lacks a clear explanation. Given this, is the previous judgment legally binding under Order XX of the CPC? What options does the petitioner have? Could they consider writing to the Chief Justice of the High Court or filing a fresh WP in the Delhi High Court, citing Article 226, to ensure a reasoned decision?
