Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Sir,

My husband has filed for divorcee in 2009 . My adv didn't even counter filed for it for 6 months. So all in sudden i am forced to go for another advocate in a hurry inorder to avoid exparte. I paid the amount he demanded for the entire case in advance to the new adv in cheque. Now he is acting one sidely delayed my maintanence petition for another 6 months and conjugal rights for another 6 months inspite of his promise he will file it in Aug 2009. he filed only on feb 2010. bcoz of this I couldn't able to pay the school fees as I am a homemaker. Now iam planning to move to another advOCATE. HE IS REFUSING TO RETURN MY MONEY BACK. I have no income and surving by getting loans from relatives for the past 3 years. I can't afford to loose my Money which was given for my entire case. he is threatening me if i ask to refuse money. except filing the counter file and conjugal rights that too delayed 6 months he haven't done anything not even he appear to get Dates.

shall i report it to the bar council? most of the Adv are exploting people who are in this kind of sitiation as women with nobody to help I have to get my money back. MY case is in ireversible damage bcoz of him which he has done it voluntarily as he wanted to compromise with other party so that he will get lumpsum amt without going thro trials.

you did not believe on one lawyer then move to another and now again other.

It seems that you your self is not justified with your act. So it will not work if you move to bar council or anywhere. In matrimonial cases it takes time, but you can ask him to file DVA application and you will get maintenance etc immeditely.
